We had to make room when we called up Pearson, so TBD got DFAed.

Sure would be nice to put some distance between the team record and the .500 level. We have the right matchups to take 2 out of 3, and a sweep would go nicely.

Pitchers still batting (other than Shohei) is definitely the dumbest thing in this increasingly unwatchable sport.

5 straight balls to Grichuk and he somehow got himself into a full count. With nobody on.

I think his hot streak to start the season is winding down.

Of course he also was 3 feet from hitting a HR.

I’m a little more worried about Vlad pounding the ball into the ground every AB again like last year. Needs to snap out of this swoon soon.

Vlad is in a mini slump. Let's hope he picks it up again.

Ray is pitching well. We need hits and runs to win games. Bats are asleep again.

Man Vladdy is actually playing really good first base.

Every time Vlad's OPS gets close to falling below 1.000, he hits a home run.

Yep air is better than the ground, Vlad.

The point isn’t what he did on pitch 6, it was that he swung on pitches 4 and 5 when they weren’t even close.

I’m not worried about Vlade, he gets himself good pitches to hit.

Grichuk is what he is. A streaky hitter that goes up and down throughout a season, but more or less ends up slightly above average by the end.

We don’t know quite what Vlad is yet at all. Have only seen a month of that elite production.

I have to admit, I never thought Ray was going to be this consistent and this good this year. 10ks tonight. Nicely done.

Has he been that good? 8 HR allowed in 28 IP now after another one to give up the lead there. The walks have gone away for now but that’s gotta be cut down if he’s going to be above average.

What a bs call. Anti-Canadian bias again

If you want to start hitting your weight Jansen, swinging at ball 4 when it bounces is not a good strategy.

This game is borderline unwatchable. Getting 2 runs off Wilson? These bats need to wake up. I know that given the injuries .500 isn't terrible, but it would be nice to string 2-3 wins together from time to time.

If Davis is out on his play, he is banned permanently.

Edit: safe for another day..
