    Never thought I would say this. But it should would be nice to have Fiers eating innings as a five starter again

    Doesn't mean he's actually available. Doesn't matter now.

    Damn that was a good pitch. Gotta swing Jake, gotta swing if it's close.

    Oh well. Were it not for an overzealous masseuse we likely would have scored enough runs to win tonight.

    Ok, I stand corrected. I just found that he actually has a knee bruise so yea no reason to pitch him whatsoever

    In that case, he would probably not be on the playoff roster... and if they acquire somebody before the deadline, not sure he should be on the actual roster.

    Yeah, shitty way to lose.
    Closer gotta close that out.
    Offense only getting 2 early on there.
    But the closer still gotta close that out.

    The top of the order goes 1-14... and yet Correa will still be blamed.

    Just goes to show you, you need all the professional hitters you can get... and Carlos won't be hitting 7th if he's back at full strength.

    I dunno, basically see how he does for the next 2 months?

    They absolutely need more arms, I think that has been made clear.

    Gurriel has carried this team lately. Had a bad feeling when his bat was taken out of the game and the team could only tie it in the bottom of the 9th.
