Gallo you suck. Shouldn't even be in the majors.

I think the front office has demonstrated that they’re not going to send anyone down this year for poor performance.

Most other teams would’ve sent Odor down earlier in the season, but he has improved lately.

Most other teams would’ve sent Gallo down by now as well.

I do have an issue with the pitching change.

Kela just tossed a 12 pitch 9th and they sent out Martin who just recently got called up against the meat of the Astros lineup?

Probably should’ve sent kela back out.

It would have been a good throw if someone had been in the shortstop position.

Throw looked way off the bag to me and agree with postgame- keep focus on batter. Distraction came back to bite. Bad loss regardless

Probably should’ve sent kela back out.

And waste his arm next time out? He is not a multiple innings pitcher. Let's protect his trade value

Not his fault that he is
Part of it is. His performance has been terrible with no improvement. But your right, he can't send himself down. You have to wonder at some of the decisions made by management.

Maz left a lot of guys on base tonight. In one of those funks that all players get into.

Looks like Heineman and Calhoun are on a roll at RR.

Who they brought in was still a terrible call in that situation

No use moaning- Martin screwed it but he needs to learn. Remember this is a year of development. Read postscript, please

You went from keep Kela to now a terrible decision.

Calling things terrible so loosely? If you said I would have brought in _____(fill in blank) then perhaps your point could be taken seriously but you said extend Kela.

if you are going to call something out be ready to give evidence not backtrack. I hope you take this the right way. Happy 4th

I was listening to Jared Sandler on the postgame show on the way home from watching the fireworks. He says they aren't sending Gallo down because he has already learned to hit minor league pitching. The idea of sending a player a wakeup call seemed to escape him.

He also mentioned 3 names he thinks may garner some attention from other teams even though the players haven't showed up in trade rumor stories lately. He mentioned DeShields, Claudio, and Chirinos.

If we are going to trade Hamela, Beltre or Choo I hope they get something done soon before some kind of injury occurs.

Hamels will be moved.

Choo will probably get moved.

Beltre won’t get moved.

Just my guess based on what I’ve been hearing / reading.

This is all like gambling What you say is one thought in the equation. The other is the longer you wait as the deadline draws closer you hope to cause a bidding war as one team does not want the other to improve their team significantly and get the upper hand. I hope that is what happens.
