What's up with this one-off game with Texas today? How did this happen? My first thought was making up a cancellation, but it's a home game. This is how it was scheduled?

I believe the other two are scheduled as a Saturday doubleheader in September. The schedule is weird.

I’m at the game.

27 scoreless innings

We’re not firing Mattingly so the good news, at least, is that shifting will be banned next year.

He is definitely the worst at shifts.

20 innings away from setting a new MLB record

I believe it was due to the first 6 games of the year or whatever it was got cancelled so they are making them up in weird ways

We may never score again.

Please trade Pablo for a bat before he gets hurt again

[Namaste]

Keep Sandy, Jazz and Eury and burn the rest of it to the ground

Jacob Stallings .470 OPS, Avisail Garcia .587 OPS. How? I was always very down on the Garcia signing, but how can both these guys have OPS' about .200 points less than what they've done in the previous 3 seasons? What is going on that guys just fall off a fucking cliff?

[fish16]

Am I the only one of the opinion that they should say fuck it and give up whatever it takes on the farm to get the next two years of Soto? That’s about the only guy id give up eury for and we definitely won’t resign him but that guy with sandy and the other young pitchers we have would be enough for this team

I need someone to explain to me why Jesus Sanchez is still here. He hasn’t hit since April and they have Bleday in AAA who cannot possibly hit any worse than he is right now. Having Sanchez up here struggling this bad cannot be in his best interests either. It wouldn’t fix everything, but swapping out Sanchez for Bleday right now seems like a no brainer. I don’t get it.

I wouldn’t be against it, but every time I see this I wonder if the person saying this realizes Bleday is hitting .226 at AAA. How do we expect he’ll be at the big league level right now?

Bleday is absolutely gonna struggle when he’s up here initially, but if you look at his splits he’s been hitting for a much higher average the last 2 months and his splits aren’t drastic vs lefties or righties

The final straw for Sanchez (for me) was his AB Friday night with the bases loaded and one out and the Phillies were doing everything they could to give us a win. Get ‘em out of here.
