Nice spot to try Beeter. He's been better than Varland or Lovelady lately.

So Wood plays RF, and Lord must hit if his spot comes up in the 9th. Pinch-hit? Use another reliever for the bottom of the 9th?

Vivas and then Beeter for the 9th.

What did they put in Nunez' wheaties?

welch · « **Reply #53 on:** June 20, 2026, 06:52:08 pm »

Maybe another run? Why Keibert rather than Millas today?

Millas doesn't start vs lefties

Booser looking a little tipsy

Caminero atones for his sins.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #58 on:** June 20, 2026, 06:57:16 pm »

The squeeze was a little too cute for my taste. Ruiz has been killing lefties. I want Nunez to steal and Ruiz to swing away. I get 1 out is when to try a safety squeeze but I felt the reliever was shaky and that could have been multiple runs.

Crews seems to be getting it now. I hope this continues. Abrams, Wood and Crews with a little better pitching staff could probably carry you far if all 3 play up to their potential

Wish we could add payroll and make a trade.

No. No, Beeter.

welch · « **Reply #62 on:** June 20, 2026, 07:02:00 pm »

Come on, Dan. That run means a lot.

Man do we need Ferrer back.

Beeter sucks.

Leadoff walks kill

welch · « **Reply #66 on:** June 20, 2026, 07:03:42 pm »

OK, Dan...now the Rays are a run behind. That's why that run matters.

This is going to be another bull pen collapse and 9th inning loss

Never mind. Just saw he's posted a 7.94 ERA in his last 7 appearances.
