    I’m listening to our local buffoons here and let me tell to you they’ve done ZERO prep for this series. (TK and Blum are pros)

    Cam Smith was not called up.
    Gordon isn’t a top prospect.
    Rodgers is not a “top bat they’re missing”

    Of course they list Altuve’s accomplishments and just had to say “and of course he’s got that whole banging on the trash can thing going on”

    Bob Brenly you’re a ****ing joke and the Diamondback fans are morons also!

    I had no idea Bob Brenly was still alive. He's insufferable to listen to.

    So are we looking at no Abreu tonight due to the utter brilliance of Joe Espada?

    Be nice to avoid Hader tonight after 2 innings on Saturday, but he's playing if we don't score again.

    Not a real baseball market.

    Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Tampa (tales of expansion)… meanwhile Montreal would support the F out of an actual team in an actual stadium (akin to Seattle with an NBA team).

    Nothing wrong with Sousa-Okert-Ort… then again, they did just have a week off and Abreu does work better with more work.

    He’s only thrown those 2 innings in like 10 days. Shouldn’t be an issue
