    You know, Trivino has been very gassed, and not as effective as he was last year, but if the A's ever were to sell for some reason, he's a guy I'd like to see Luhnow and Strom get their hands on next year. Bullpen will be a sneaky need next year given the impending FA's (Smith, Rondon, Harris, McHugh).

    And, if memory serves me right, I believe he hit well in Oakland last year. Hope he increases his trade value. Gonna look nice in a Tigers uni patrolling the vast confines of Comerica Park when we reunite Boyd with JV. :)

    Kemp being able to play 2B and CF is why he is valuable.

    Just curious....

    Do you understand why the Stros did what they did, or are you still b****ing about Mayfield and others?

    He seems like the kind of guy who could excel at the utility/Marwin role if given more time at the positions.

    He can play 2B/LF/CF. Not quite Marwin.

    Just found the Statcast Game Feed website for this game. Here. Didn't know that existed. Pretty crazy how it updates with every single pitch.

    So, the stats on that Fisher HR:

    Exit Velocity: 110.3 mph
    Launch Angle: 18 deg
    Distance: 432 ft

    That's just bizarre geometry and kinetics for a baseball hit.

    We have to be at the bottom of baserunning statistics. Unfortunately analytics cant fix that.....

    Not the Marwin arm. True.

    Lefties love the ball down. That one happened to be in the middle of the plate too.

    Tucker and Alvarez should be up. It will be a STRUGGLE to score runs with who they brought up and with White playing every day.

    Super 2 be DAMNED.

    We've talked about White all we can....

    Who does Tucker replace? You wanted Alvarez to come up instead of an infielder when Diaz got hurt, Mayfield, and frankly it was a terrible idea then, and it does not look like a great idea on your part now.
