    ~75% success rate isn't bad...

    JV not super crisp but any decent arm in CF prevents Duran from scoring and any decent defensive LF plays that ball better than Yordan. For the life of me I can't figure out why the FO seems wholly uninterested in improving the OF.

    Didn’t he throw 57 in his rehab?

    Kikuchi shutting this lineup down while gifting them 4 extra outs was crazy impressive

    They just picked up Gamel! while they're waiting for the new leg software update for Tucker.

    In all seriousness, what do you want them to do to improve the OF right now?

    After the CS just now.
    I give them B for effort... it's not as if they stuck Jose Abreu out there for 35 games... Chas, Dubon, Meyers, Cabbage, Dubon, Alvarez, Leon, Loperfido have all been tossed out there.

    Maybe he was 75% (15 for 20) before the game started

    Convincing Brantley out of retirement is the only thing that has not been tried...

    Criswell never facing the Astros before means 6 innings 1 run

    Yeah I just posted a couple of days ago that he needs to play a little less at his age. It seems a tad irresponsible.

    Whitcomb has a pretty good eye for balls and strikes from what I'm seeing.

    Pretty sure it was a glaring need going into the deadline. Hell it was a glaring need the second Tucker missed more than two weeks. It was a need when we resigned Brantley.

    Nothing they can do about it now, of course.
