    Izzi didn't show up, leaving the Odor, and that stinks.

    Broadcast said Straw's drop had a 95% catch probability... smh

    Good job by Raley allowing a 2-run HR right after

    Raley is awful. This game is probably over.

    Odorizzi 1 earned run, Straw 4 earned runs. Straw has 3 SBs, Marvin Gonzalez has 2 SBs. Way to go straw.

    The way the offense has been impotent, it'll be a surprise if they can salvage this game a series. Greinke had to pitch a shutout just so they could win a game this series.

    What are the tax consequences if we signed Puig and put Tucker in center?

    Straw is the perfect example how just because you’re fast, doesn’t make you a good outfielder or center fielder.

    he may be best being an infielder again. tucker may be their best CF.

    It's the Art of War. Let your enemy think you are losing when you are really winning.

    They didn't need him in the rotation for a bit and wanted him to stay stretched out as a starter instead of using him out of the pen, was their thinking.

    Coulda had Jake back for 1M
