I always thought he was black for some reason before this series.

I'm just glad we salvaged one game from the series. But it doesn't matter. We were treading water from late May all the way though June. We've been in collapse mode ever since the start of July.

Overly sensitive, overly PC world. Joe Simpson(former Dodger)'s comments weren't his best moment, but the overreaction to them were far more ridiculous.

So apparently the Yankees want to get rid of Sonny Grey to go after Strowman or Archer so I imagine we can get him cheap...is he worth the risk if cheap??

I'd take a shot.

A lot of times, career AL pitchers have a career resurgence when they come to the NL. Randy Johnson was struggling his last year as a Mariner, went to the Astros and dominated the next several years.

LMAO, i found the absolute hottest take about Newcomb's tweets:


it is absolutely frightening that people this stupid are allowed to breathe the same air as others

A guy that we could that would solve our BP problems is Roberto Osuna from the Blue Jays. He has a little bit of personal life baggage and is suspended until Aug. 5th for Domestic Violence but this kid is lights out, is controllable until 2021, and is only 23. Also he is supposedly one of AA's guys.

Wright moved up to AAA. Him and Touki both are future Aces, I think those 2,Soroka,Folty, and Newk is our future rotation. Seems like AA wants to move Gohara.

Sounds like Touki will be brought up soon to join the Bullpen.

God damn, Julio sucks against the Marlins and this Chen guy has owned us this year.

2 batters in, and we're down 2-0.

At least we got a glimpse of what good starting pitching looks like yesterday.

Took 18 pitches to get one out. At least the pen only needed to get one out yesterday.

That was the first home run for the Marlins since Castro hit a home run off of Teheran last week.
