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

There's been more to this inning than the 2 run single, but I think that was pretty catchable. 

I just can't find reasons to like Martin as an asset on a winning team.

That ball supposedly had a .660 expected batting average so I don't think you can fault Martin too much. Still, I agree he's not the greatest OF, which is weird for a guy who looks like a good athlete.  

I think we're seeing what Martin brings if he can do it consistently. 2 singles, 2 stolen bases. His highest and best use is as an on base machine. He's a long way from that now, but I think that's the plan. Unless he can find a way t have a .350 or better OBP, 4th OF is the ceiling.

Great baserunning by Buxton, bad by Jeffers.  But a nice AB by Jeffers for the 2 out RBI.  I forgive him. :)

I have the same opinion as Denard. That's by design.

I thought the same thing , Martin had time for a few more steps and catch it at the ground , he just not a good outfielder , adequate at second base ...

Martin made the right play, the ball died as it was off the end of the bat. If he goes for it and misses, it's an inside the park GS.

Wow, SWR is just . . . not good. Time for Thomas Hatch to come in piggyback style. I still like SWR in the bullpen better than the rotation. 

I don't see him doing well in the bullpen. He does not have swing and miss stuff and he can not put out fires.
