    Singleton is having a similar start that Springer had.

    For any relief, who cares. Just get Williams out. There is no room in the rotation at the moment so if Folty comes up, it will be as a reliever anyway.

    Most players struggle in their first few weeks or months at the major league level. Way too early to be worried about Singleton.

    I think its time to get serious about our bullpen, the starting pitching has been excellent but they are being let down.

    someone needs to add falling 8 bit sunglasses with the DEAL WITH IT meme. Don't forget to splice with the face the MINNY manager made.

    Buchanan and Martinez couldn't be any worse than Williams. Why not give them a chance at the LR role.

    So with the way we have been playing lately... Should I expect a good team sooner than we all thought it would happen?

    Am I nieve to think we could be a threat next year?

    5 games out of the wildcard, y'all.

    let's keep chipping away towards .500.

    after this series, our next 7 are against the worst 2 teams in the majors. a series win here would be nice.

    Honestly, if the season started today I think this would be an 80 win team. And that's basically with horrible shortstop and DH production plus an erratic bullpen.

    My god, watching the morning replay. That HR Springer hit was amazing, that looked like a pop fly and it went out of the park, it wasn't exactly a wall scraper either.


    Hitting a HR is hard, hitting a HR the opposite way is harder, hitting a HR the opposite way on a low pitch when you are off balance is unreal, he has insane pop.
