From Jared Sandler:

Shohei Ohtani
Aaron Judge
Bryce Harper
and...
WYATT LANGFORD

Only four players in MLB this year with mutiple hits AND multiple RBI in 3 straight games.

He looked like a stud on that Hr swing. We need our bats to heat up next weekend against the Orioles

 

[yardimatt]

Hell yeah! Wyatt with the GS.

From Shawn McFarland:

Jacob Latz in June: 0.00 ERA in 8 games (6 IP) with 7 strikeouts, 3 hits and 2 walks.

 

[saddles]

What if Burke has rediscovered his form of 2022?

 

[fanman8825]

Great game guys. I wanted 2 out of 3 in this series but if Scherzer can get thru tomorrow with out getting touched up why not a sweep. The team is so over due

 

[Duane1952]

Burke has been pretty good since coming back. Lowered his era from 15.00 to 6.75.

We may find ourselves with extra relief pitchers at some point.

Hou and Sea both win.

We need this so bad from a fairly young guy within the organization. 28 is not real young but Latz got a late start.

 

[fanman8825]

Hou and Sea both win.

Houston getting hot and beating a very good Baltimore team 2 days in a row

That's who I thought should have come in the other night when Leclerc put us in a bind instead of Robertson then bring Robertson in to start the 8th inning instead of pitching across 2 innings.

I am still not sold on Leclerc. Have seen so many different versions of him.

 

[DT LUNA]

I am still not sold on Leclerc. Have seen so many different versions of him.

I am on board with you. Leclerc is a mental case.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I don’t understand Bochy DHing 2 games in a row. Even if a righthander is pitching, I would DH Duran. He had been swinging a pretty good bat.

Agree 100%. Jankowski has been terrible. Stated something along the same lines about keeping Duran as our utility guy when we get back to full strength.

 

[saddles]

I am still not sold on Leclerc. Have seen so many different versions of him.

If we have 4 or 5 other guys for the 8th and 9th, I have no problem with Leclerc before those innings.

 

[saddles]

From Jeff Wilson:

Left-hander Cody Bradford threw a bullpen session Saturday at Globe Life Field and will travel to Arizona on Sunday to continue his rehab from a stress fracture in his back.

Bradford doesn't expect to return until after the All-Star break even though he isn't expected to be stretched out as a starter. General manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Bradford will throw up to three innings while on rehab assignment and become a multi-innings relief option who could quickly transition to the rotation if needed.

Maybe no more Grant A and Yerry the rest of the year

Looks better

 

[Kelleyman]

That's who I thought should have come in the other night when Leclerc put us in a bind instead of Robertson then bring Robertson in to start the 8th inning instead of pitching across 2 innings.

I thought this too
Latz should pitch the 7th in close games when ahead but guess they want him to face LHBs so that may be a factor. But since Burke is here maybe he is the specialist

 

[fanman8825]

If we have 4 or 5 other guys for the 8th and 9th, I have no problem with Leclerc before those innings.

I am ok with the 6th or the 7th. He just scared the daylights out of me last year along with Chapman in the later innings. Leclerc‘s facial expressions make me nervous

You nailed it. He would make anyone nervous.
