I'd like to pass along my condolences and sympathies to all impacted by the shooting at Annunciation this morning. 🙏

Not that it matters anymore  , but why are Players  who have zero chance of being on  Team  next year- even still here ??

I guess I’d be upset if they were really trying to win. Fitzgerald is what (?) 32 years old. He is magically going to become a competent major leaguer? Keaschall (23), Lee (24) and Lewis (26) are

I can think of a few solutions, each equally likely to happen (read: not happening)

1. Ban sliders.  Even crappy relievers have filthy stuff that's unlike anything hitters in the past have had to face.

2. Lower the cap on pitchers on a roster to 10.  Pitchers would have to pace themselves more, velocity would decrease, breaking stuff wouldn't be quite as sharp

3. Move the mound back a couple feet.  This one feels just wrong for reasons I can't fully articulate

#1 is not enforceable. 

#2 Don't know if 10 is possible but I like the thought. Maybe 12? 

#3 seems like the way to go. That and/or lower the mound again. That made a large difference in the 60s.

Julien as DH?  Yikes!

It's almost as bad as having Gasper there, even though he's at the bottom of the order. 

After yesterday's performance I would prefer Gasper.

Probably covered elsewhere, but is it likely Julien shows enough to draw some (any?) trade interest over the next month? I can’t really comprehend that he’s part of the plan for 2026. Assuming there is one.

Just heard last night’s post game interview- it’s easy to root for Gasper. Whether or not he belongs on a MLB roster I don’t know. But he seems like the kind of guy I’d have a beverage with. 

I met Mickey’s parents at spring training. They were standing next to me watching Mickey in the batting cage. Very nice people who are so proud of their son. Fun conversation

I'm not sure he should even play the rest of 2025. If he's not gonna swing the bat . . . see ya.

Agree....just sad that they use these individuals with BA's below 200 in  DH role
