[june.june]

Varland is garbage.

 

[gruber9292]

I thought Varland was this prized acquisition. I guess we'll see.. 

[dancingmachine]

Wow that swelling on Kirk's hand yikes

[Masterbather]

Is Varland home sick or something?

Sorry we rescued you from your existence in  relative obscurity in Minnesota.

Varland is just getting unlucky apparently. Or so i heard... 

Once he gives up a hit, he seems to get worse 

[neverbeenhere]

ya, I saw that too 

[John_Havok]

I dont understand the pitch mix from Varland... like, if they know everything is a breaker or offspeed really easy to lay off anything that looks borderline. 

[Masterbather]

Holy Barger!

[neverbeenhere]

great job Barger 

[jaysthebest]

OMG Barger saved a game

[Barrelsandbombs]

Blowpen going to blow another lead

[dancingmachine]

Nice play Barger 

[ComeTogether]

Barger saved a run or two

[Omar]

Nice DP!! 

[hanton]

Great catch but wtf is Martin doing?

[Spanky__99]

What a god damned play by Barger, thanks Minny on the baserunning blunder.

Well the number one thing to do when someone has like three months of reliever excellence is to really prioritize 5 years of control. That's super important. 

[jaysthebest]

Our blowpen almost blew this game.

[neverbeenhere]

Great throw Bo

[Masterbather]

Survived.

Yeah not exactly sure why the front office has been toying with his pitch usage… clearly not working 

[G-Snarls]

Gonna need some more runs

Hey, we see you've been really successful doing what youre doing so here's what we're thinking... we stop doing that, and try something else. 

Sound good?

[Doubleplay21]

Send Varland to Buffalo. 

[neverbeenhere]

add some runs please 

[hanton]

Did Austin Martin think there were 2 out?  cause if not he's dumb

I said it before, this trade could easily turn out like Zach Pop 2.0

I really hope im wrong but idk it seem like Varland has given up at least a run every outing so far
