Poor Varsho. You know those two homers will be on an endless highlight reel. Over and over and over.

Wallner has an arm. Proceed with caution

He's going to have to trick people into running on him, like he did there.

Great throw, eh? I guess that is redeeming. As bad as Wallner looked not catching the ball and then almost falling getting it, the throw was amazing.

So Lopez comes out and throws 93 mph meat the first pitch. Damn. Lopez is not even close to our best pitcher, yet he got the big contract. 3 games in and the FO got Lopez drunk and had to double down on the trade get to feel better?

Meanwhile, Arraez has slipped to .374 BA and .427 OBP.

Scoreboard  7-4  says it does

That’s the reality so there’s not much to be gained by speculating.

The results so far aren't stellar, to say the least, but managing isn't through a rear-view mirror.  The question of a starter always is, is bringing in someone from the bullpen going to lead to better results than letting him stay and soak up the next inning.

Setting aside matchups and bullpen planning game-to-game, there is also the effect over time on the bullpen of pulling your starters in the 5th and 6th, like we have seen recently (and most of last season), versus the 6th and 7th like the early part of the season. So, we shall see. I feel like I have seen this movie before.

For today, probably won’t matter either way!

Two guys in the lineup with high salaries: Gallo and Buxton are 0-7 with 4 Ks.

Three home-grown rookies: Julien, Kirilloff, and Wallner are 7-10 with 1 K.

Could we please see more the kids?

That's a pretty small sample size.

For all the grief Moran gets, his ERA is now just under 4, and better than Pablo Lopez's. 

Of the 5 curernt starters, only Varland's 4.24 is higher than Lopez's 4.11. Gray 1.82, Ryan 2.21, Ober 2.55.
