    I'll assume you don't know the difference between DFA and a regular demotion.

    There's zero reason to DFA Gusto.

    Pretty clear Dubon is our best Left fielder....time to DH Altuve or let him play 2B and LF occasionally.

    I'm sure they'll let us know in early September

    Lance is skipping his next start in the rotation ... "to rest". FFS.

    I wonder if Rodgers had a nagging injury early on. He looked like a different player last night.

    If both he and Melton turn it on, we will have a real conundrum with Altuve when Alvarez gets back. Be a nice conundrum to have, though.

    He's not getting skipped, they are just doing the 6 starter extra day of rest that we've seen before. He'll start Tuesday.

    Gusto or Gordon.
    Or put LMJ on the disabled list for 15 days (they are skipping him today so probably disabled forever) and give him an audition in that spot if you don’t want to send the other two down.

    Colton Gordon is on a 4 WAR full season pace through his first 24 IP. Not bad at all.

    Also, the change they need to make is to let Walter take Gusto’s spot in the rotation.

    Who could have predicted we would be 8 games above .500 without Yordan?

    Turns out the same thing that wins postseason games wins in the regular season.

    Pitching and defense.

    Whitley had a tremendously long leash and received more organizational patience than anyone else. This was a long time coming.

    Thank you baby jesus for that saga being over.

    We should ban his name from being mentioned.

    For those of you who thought McCullers was injured again because they went to a 6 man rotation to get him an extra day off...he's scheduled to pitch Tuesday.

    The dream of Forrest Whitley can finally be put out of it's misery.

    As for LMJ, pushing him back one start to get 2 extra days of rest was the right, and all too obvious choice to make. Granted given this clubs soviet level injury reporting I will always understand fan paranoia when it comes to the topic.
