Bingo!

Good to see Donaldson back starting and Upton in right

Who else do you want there? It's ok I'll wait

As starting pitching depth/swingman he's not bad. You guys are acting like we gave up the world for him. He'll do well here and if he doesn't you can always DFA him and not feel bad about it

You know we got him for free (not salary wise, prospect wise) essentially right?

Yeah him or Saunders DH while Upton plays the field. I'm actually under the impression that Saunders is worse than Bautista in the field, Bautista still has somewhat of an arm and is very athletic moreso than Saunders. Plus Saunders knee is glass. Upton is sexy in the outfield. The glove and speed never slump

Our offence was silent. What a pitching performance from the pen, this is what the 3rd extra inning game in the last 7? BP came out as champs and I absolutely love Gibby's use of it, not going to Feldman until the very end Things to take away looking at the replays: - Bautista's lucky to get more than 2 years at a pay more than $20M, him vs. The high heat is like A-Rod this year, too old to catch up to it. If, and that's a decently big if, he makes contact with it it goes straight up for a weak popfly. They're pitching him up and in with the heat with no regards for respect because the know he can't catch up to it. - Stroman's 2nd half gear has kicked in, he'll be out Sanchez down the stretch. Man imagine these similar type performance + Sanchez the rest of the way, with the way Happ & Estrada... Man screw innings limits!! - Pen was once again super solid and for me seals the fact that we might have an elite pen now finally with Morales and Chavez gone. Shultz is a sleeper he's great and the rest of the pen is the rest of the pen. I also think Benoit is really solid, I have lots of faith in him still needs to keep the walks in check but his velo is sexy. Feldman faced an MVP candidate and a future MVP candidate back to back, away in the 14th inning against his old team, in his first appearance with his new team. Recipie for disaster, which is why Gibby held off on using him - I hope 0-6 with 4Ks Smoak can finally ride the Bench while Upton takes helm in a corner OF position. Edwin is sexy wth the glove anyways

JD with a song here

Good to here him back

Guys how did Stroman look 13ks??? Holy s***

I was driving lol Howarth called the beauty and I couldn't pull over

Martin!!!

Isn't he the reliever you've been touting?

He already is here

Lets look at the 25 man roster now for clarity: RF Bautista 3B Donaldson DH Encarnacion LF Saunders SS Tulowitski C Martin 1B Smoak CF Pillar 2B Travis C Thole INF Barney UTL Goins OF Upton SP Stroman SP Estrada SP Happ SP Dickey SP Liariano RHP Feldman RHP Shultz RHP Biagini LHP Cecil RHP Benoit RHP Grilli RHP Sanchez RHP Osuna By my count that's 26, what do I have wrong? Also where do we have Liariano stashed? As the 6th starter until Sanchez goes in the pen? He pitched yesterday so he can go Saturday

I think he's had injuries and will probably move positions no?

Lol he's being a piece of s***, he's not helping the situation at all right now. He's not talking negatively, he's trying to entice a problem. He just said the FO cares more about Sanchez than Stroman because they're letting Stroman go

Zaun flapping his lips too much on Tim & Sid, saying the clubhouse is going into disarray because Sanchez goes to the BP...

eww

Glad you recovered from the meltdown buddy!!

OMG OMG I forgot!!!!!! NO DICKEY!!!!

This is how you f***ing build for now and the future. My goodness this is more balanced and calculated of a deadline than last year where we were just splashing

They do

I'm just saying it won't handcuff us

Thank you dear lord for this trade. I was asking for this for the past 2 days, trade him for a guy as valuable as him but with options. Thank goodness
