So, does anyone remember who we got for Dobnak when we traded him to Houston?

[stringer bell]

Buxton and Castro (and now maybe Lewis) are the only ones who could score from second on that single.

Hopefully Gray keeps his pitch count under control. Sometimes he’s his own worst enemy. A lot like Odorizzi in that respect.

Tough error, hopefully they change it.

Got called E3 but that's a surprising hometown call on their own batter.

[stringer bell]

Change it to a double just because Gallo redeemed himself on the DP scoop.

Yes.  Sorry if I was cryptic.  My phrasing was unambiguous to those of us of a certain age.

[Parfigliano]

Realistically what could they get for kepler??

[MABB1959]

Kepler takes Wallners spot?  Not very fair or smart

[mrtwinsfan]

our Lefty hitters are 2-13  and r.h. 4-9  so far, Rocco Hello

“Man” I dislike that Menard’s commercial and the smaller guy looks like he’s in High School. 

MLB audio (radio) just plays about 3 commercials interminably. Wasted money and irritable listener.

Shop Kepler for interest.

[twins_89]

I think it is time to move on from Kepler. It's getting hard to justify playing him over Gallo, Kirilloff, Larnach, or Wallner.

So that means keeping Kepler until close to the trade deadline.  It's unlikely other teams offer anything of value until then.

[RickOShea]

Anyone amused at umpire Jeff Nelson's hot mic comment?

Big Max fan ,  but cant argue that   Good Point,  Max its up to you!! 

[MABB1959]

I don’t think they could get much anything for our veteran players

Keep Waller?

I cant get TC broadcast for this series.  The HOU tv broadcast was puzzled that Rocco had so many righties on the bench.

Rocco's got them right where he wants them..................got them thinking.

[MABB1959]

I hope they leave Gray in for at least 7 innings

Yeah, pretty unconventional strategery there, with a righty on the mound.
