Bradford is a stud. 6 innings, only 4 hits allowed, no walks, 3 runs, with 7 strikeouts.
He deserves some run support.

I would let him go back out for the 8th.

Bochy pretty stubborn about his lineup

Wonder who plays in a day getaway game

Probably Jankowski and Grossman

I think Grant Anderson was the only one of the 4 Andersons in our system to not pitch tonight. Lol

 

[saddles]

Three more hits for Crim tonight as he was a triple shy of the cycle.

From Scott Lucas:

Justin Foscue led off the game with a homer and squared another pitch for a sharp 393-ft. out. That second shot might have cleared a hesitating center fielder's glove at the Dell Diamond, but with Salt Lake's larger configuration and deeper-playing OFs, it's an annoyingly routine out. Since returning to Round Rock, Foscue has batted .323/.469/.532 with seven extra-base hits and more walks (16) than strikeouts (10). He played first last night but has spent 13 of 17 recent games at second. I'm more inclined to think of him as a first baseman, but if he hits enough, my inclinations could be persuadable.

After Tyler Phillips cimplete game shutout in late July, he has been awful in 3 starts since.

Anybody but Ezequiel Duran

From Jeff Wilson:

Not hitting the injured list, it appears, is Dane Dunning. He cited a mechanical breakdown Monday night in his four innings that caused a lack of velocity and a drop-off in his stuff.

 

[saddles]

A few days ago Bochy said Heim was no longer the primary catcher. Today he is hitting third.

Don't get it.

 

[saddles]

Don't get it.

Maybe next year we need a bench of all very young players so Bochy has no choice but to play one of them.

From Shawn McFarland:

Max Scherzer will pitch for the Rangers against the Chicago White Sox next week “if all goes well” with his rehab outing on Friday, per Bruce Bochy.

Scherzer threw a bullpen yesterday: “All went well, really well. He feels good, we like where he’s at,” Bochy said.

Heim batting 3rd?

Did someone lose a bet?

He deserved so much better from the offense.
