    At least Valdez puts the ball in the ******* strike zone. Gotta give him that.

    Besides Brantley, they all need to put their buzzers back on TBH.

    Tucker pulls everything on the ground... right into the shift every single time.

    I know tucker isnt that fun to watch right now , but we will get Yordan back in a couple of weeks so chill

    plus , his at bats havent been that bad today .

    Hitting the ball hard into the shift isnt some "rookie" outcome

    at least hes made the last few guys throw 5-6 pitches

    I’m guessing JJ gets one more start but for ****s sake Dusty has to have a hook on him

    James didn't give up any runs if that check swing is called correctly. So, yes it did do him in no matter how bad he pitched. Granted, he should have been pulled earlier.

    On challenges, team should be limited on challenges. Something like a check swing should be fair game without impacting time much.

    Someone mentioned that we might need those trashcans for him.

    Totally agree with challenge limits but as I also posted being able to challenge doesn’t mean they’ll get it right. We got hosed on the 2nd base call and last week and that one looked CLEAR to all of us and the national broadcast team. I have zero confidence they could get a check swing review correct either.

    That check swing was a lot easier to see. I don't think that play at second was as clear as the local broadcasters made it sound.

    Framber with whatever the reliever equivalent of what a quality start is.
