I still can't believe we traded a prospect like Gabriel Moreno for Daulton Varsho.

Vlad hit a fastball, it’s a miracle.

Time for Berrios to give the lead right back next inning.

Idk what our coaches have told him but he has way too much natural talent to be having this kinda season.

Guerrero hitting home runs interesting. Actually catches up to a 97 mph pitch low and doesn't bury it in the dirt. Interesting.

Guy is too talented to be struggling like he is. Please get him to aaron judges hitting coach in the offseason.

As bad as yhe Texas series was and our offense was, we also gave up lik3 a bazillion runs. Our pitching has been a strength all season but not in that Texas series. Glad to see a low scoring game again.

Would be nice if Tampa's fate (#1 seed or #4 seed) was determined with a few games left in the season, to give us a bit of a potential help in the final couple games.

Of course its quite possible those games don't matter for us either.

Back in early May I hit on a "Roster Add Suggestion" tool by Yahoo (don't remember exact name of the tool and don't see it anymore), in my Yahoo Fantasy League.

They suggested I drop Matt Chapman and pick up Justin Turner (who had really done nothing yet). I laughed... remember clipping it. I guess they were right.... by a lot!

The angles used by Sportsnet for these games are the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

Poor Bowden Francis - he was giving it his all on fumes last night, knowing he was likely going to be demoted (rotate fresher guy at bottom of pen) and he was the one that was going to pay the price for the rest of team playing like **** all week.

No big deal for most players, but for a guy who has been a career minor leaguer at 27, that lost MLB pay for being demoted for few days (of $3 to 4K per day for a min player) hurts a fair bit.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong in my math or assumptions.
