Good to see the real Tyler Rogers tonight. I hope that the authorities caught that guy posing as him.

 

[LHG]

I assume that the Heinemans are brothers since they were born in the same city less than two years apart.

Told ya these guys could score...

Look, this season is bonkers. More than ever, no one knows nuthin'. All predictions are out the window.

15% finished, .555 winning pct, on a 89-90 win pace in a normal year. Why not?

All edibles tonight...but I thought I'd get some grief for that one.

Can we win 33? Literally anything is possible this year. Including a season getting shut down.

So are you suggesting that the team trade possible long term pieces for short term pieces, gambling that the season doesn't get canceled before anything meaningful happens? I have to think that, considering how many contenders there will be, the sellers will be able to ask for a lot (assuming all contenders want to buy and don't consider this season a throwaway, regardless how the team is doing). If we make it to a trade deadline, it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Well, they don’t have attendance to worry about, so maybe it will be easier to execute a tank??

that said, they do look good. No superstars, but pretty deep all the way to #30. And I like this bully.

As of right now we are a play off team.. correct?

I'm a bit confused, how did Smyly not get the win?
Has a starting pitcher gotten a win for us yet?

Longo getting off to a good start.

Solano leads the league in RBI's!

Starters have to go five to get the win.

lol

How did I forget that...?

The way the starters have been going it might be easy to forget. They have at least a team record from the start of the season of NOT going 5.
