    Sipp is terrible. Might need to eat that $6MM per at some point if this continues

    They just need to leave Sipp out there. If he gets punished so be it, but he's never gonna be of any use to us coming in to face one batter a week (and usually failing at it).

    And they pull him again.

    He has to be given innings to work through this, otherwise they may as well just cut him.

    didn't see the purpose of sending sipp out there when you had your long reliever ready. I get that you want to get sipp's mojo back. I expect sipp to bounce back in the second half of the season, but for right now skip him.

    This. The first priority is to try to win the game not give Sipp some work. He's a gas can this year.

    Sipp needs more regular work. Need to invent an injury and send him on "rehab" assignment. He really needs to get some innings in

    Lefties are hitting .300 against Sipp.

    Using him doesn't pass the eyeball test, or the stats test... yet they keep doing it.

    I'd rather them win this game, by any means necessary.

    He needs some regular work, no doubt.

    Seems Gomez has 5 lineouts in his last 10 ABs... smh

    Go job Reed breaking up perfection.... we'll break the shutout (and more) before game's end. Confident our bully will do well.

    The game is still close enough for us to just wait until he finds his groove...

    They need to go ahead and call Bregman up and put him in LF.

    Our top half of the order has been getting some hard hit balls, I can easily see a rally if Graveman stays in through the 7th.
