    Wade and/or Mills seem dead set on keeping him in the lineup. Maybe Wade is still hoping that some kind of opportunity arises to move him before his 10-5 status kicks in. No idea. Maybe they'd be willing to pick up a bunch of his salary if some team bit just to get him off the roster.

    I was wondering about that.

    I thought if it touched the line, it was a homer?

    Looks like he definitely got some pop in that bat.

    Is that the rule? Can't recall.

    Either way, it may have been just below the line but it was right there. A fraction of a millimeter lower on the ball and it's gone.

    Edit: I think they were just talking about it. Had it on mute. Looks like it was a little below the line... tore up the wall a little. Martinez = The Latino Natural, or El Latino Naturale

    One reason they may not do it is because it would reflect poorly on the organization. Other FA's would take note of what they did to Lee (if they sent him down), and would possibly be scared off by that.

    That's a good point. Maybe that's it.

    It wouldnt reflect poorly on the organization to take a guy in a 0 for 21 slump and sit him a couple games would it?

    So, Lee now 0-22 and Downs 0-23. Combined, they equal 1 Craig Counsell.

    Sitting him, no. Sending him down, oh yes.

    Get these runs home, boys. Paredes has a gangsta' thing goin' on. Got some swagger.

    Not Downs. He is in his own slump. Id like to see it with Bogusevic at 1st, and Lee sitting. A lineup id like to see get a try.

    ahh. Thought you were calling out Paredes for the HR. That would have worked, no?

    Yea...

    Lyles has pitched very well again. That's the most important thing.

    bogusevic at 1st serves even less of a purpose than lee.

    at this point, i'd like lee to keep on playing every day in hopes that he goes on a tear and enhances the .0001% chance that they pay down his salary and trade him after he passes through waivers.
