    Too bad no men on base. Yainer should bat clean up with Yordan out.

    Finally, one of these mistakes got crushed…. Every breaking ball in the zone this guy has thrown has backed up on him.

    I meant Dubon/Kessinger at 1B/2B. We all know what Captain Bligh brings to the table.

    Sparky: " Brown is night and day when he pitches and isn't trying to make the perfect pitch." It might sound like a Drexler observation but it makes sense.

    Dusty doesn't care what Diaz does as a hitter, Maldy is his everyday catcher.

    Sure do wish that we could've gotten to see him get 4 at bats last night. SMH

    Or for that matter 4 at bats on a regular basis after Yordan makes it back.

    Julks in the 2 hole? SMH

    It’s literally been the difference between him being in the windup today vs. pitching out of the stretch.

    Would be nice if they had a veteran on the staff who could possibly impart some of that knowledge to him… but for now, I guess Maldy will have to?

    All that for 1 run, guess I should be grateful we even did anything.
