I think one of the reasons Candy is DH tonite is they don’t want to risk his trade value with any type of injury.

The hell does Dickerson keep playing?

Gotta make Max pay for throwing at our boys.

hey, did anyone notice the guy pitching for the mets has two different colored eyes?

Slateman · « **Reply #5:** July 28, 2023, 07:37:06 PM »

Feel like should have made Max pay for that

Gore has filthy stuff. Just needs to cut the walks back

Very observant of you. You must be watching on an 80” screen.

Gore's effective but not efficient tonight. A difference between Gore and Max is that 50+ pitches through 3 means Max can get you through the 7th but Gore will be gassed by the end of the 6th.

Vargas is another guy who might have a market, like Harrison in 2021.

Ruiz man…

Ruiz man…

but Call

Also, b/c I whine about Garcia all the time, got to give him kudos on that final out of the 4th.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #13:** July 28, 2023, 08:26:02 PM »

That's really twice Call has had close plays on grounders to Baty

Predictable

Alonso gets an extra 30 seconds at HR derby for going over 450 feet

KV · « **Reply #17:** July 28, 2023, 08:41:21 PM »

As always, walks kill.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #18:** July 28, 2023, 08:43:39 PM »

95 pitches. Push Gore one more inning?

GataNats · « **Reply #19:** July 28, 2023, 08:50:34 PM »

Wish we would DFA Dickereson

Hassell just was hit in the head. Looks OK. Terone Harris spits venom at Altoona pitcher because Altoona hit him earlier. H'burg manager in umpires' faces

Hey Garcia finally got a hit!

nice fielding, some power ... I am thinking tonight's Luis is a skrull

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #23:** July 28, 2023, 09:48:37 PM »

That went about as expected.

Slateman · « **Reply #24:** July 28, 2023, 10:11:02 PM »

So in the second half we are going to dominate at home and suck on the road?
