Elvis you better not get picked off.

That first one was pretty close.....but it bit them in the butt, in the long run.

First baseman totally should have caught/blocked that PO though.

Well 2 days ago when he blew the 4 run lead in Colorado, people here were screaming to DFA Scheppers. While Napoli is having rough year, he did have some success in the past as a Ranger and we need RH bat/bats. Only if the FO is considering moving MM, would he have any playing time and would be the only reason to make the move. The thought of giving up very little in Scheppers means you pay some of Naps salary and really give up nothing more.

I was screaming.....send him down to get him straightened out. Never for DFAing him. At least, take him out of the 8th inning role.

However.....he's making less than $600 K, is 29 and has - in the past, granted - shown he is capable, and is only arbitration eligible. While Napoli is 33, his body is shot, making $ 16 mil, and is a FA after this season.

Don't see how this helps us short or long term, regardless of how Scheppers turns out going forward

Shut down inning

5 innings, with only ONE really bad pitch, with 65 thrown.....I'll take this for sure.

Now don't make me/us look bad Colby.

Yeah Don this of course makes sense. We could use a RHB but the numbers need to match
