5-9 of our players out there
are hitting above .250 including Harden. That is gonna need to get better or we arent gonna keep winning these games. Mainly Soto and Bradley need to get their acts together

Just pointing out we arent really hitting all that well. Getting really well timed hits though and scrapping together a few runs to get us wins.

It's hard to ignore how low Soto's BA is
I could be almost president of his fan club, but I do wonder if it’s he just struggling or if there is some injury still lingering. If there is maybe give him a few more days off

Take me out with the crowd.

For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

He worked out of a little trouble early
And was dominant late until the eighth. Overall, a very good outing.

Nope
Don’t burn him out. Put in Gregg or Heilman.

Not a fan of Marmol getting 6 outs.
I trust him for 1-4… but after that it seems to get dicey.

Riot
long line out to Bourne in deep left center. One out.

Is it wrong...
that every time they call Carlos Lee “El Caballo” I can only think of “El Kabong?”
The fact the Carlos Lee bobblehead is holding a guitar doesn’t help this.
