Glad Caratini is in the lineup tonight.

[MMMordabito]

No RBI for you Vic, but we'll take what they're giving.

10 game hitting streak for Royce! 

Everything going right for Lewis right now. Playing team ball and still got a hit. 

[Patzky]

Brooks is hitting like Caratini these days.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Did those of you watching the game on tv notice that Lewis glanced toward the first baseman just before the ball was thrown which Lewis bunted successfully to that direction?

[Cory Engelhardt]

Just posting that Hunter Greene is going to get his elbow looked at after he had pain in his last start.

Makes me think there is a reason he wasn’t dealt at the deadline. 
 

Ok, back to the game 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Dang it caratini.  

[ashbury]

Okay, Kremer, they got you your run.  Make it stand up.

Speedy ?

[Western SD Fan]

I have noticed this year that they have not been putting up the expected runs scored bug in those situations.  I wonder why? 🤔

If he's purposely setting something up for later in the game, or later in the season, more power to him.

If it's a tell, hopefully one of his coaches explains to him what that is.  😄

@stringer bellsaid it better than I can. Are we witnessing his upside this season which is pretty meh? Do we think he will be a 25-30 HR guy in the future? I’m still skeptical about his long term fit here at 3B. 

[Rodney29]

Did Caratini fall down twice going down the first base line to be thrown out by 2 strides on that double play ball. There is “catcher slow” and “Caratini slow”. My goodness!

Saw that too. Sucks for him. As much as I was interested in him, I don’t have access to medicals. 

Edit: However… if any MLB team wants to sign a 36 year old that can top out at 70 MPH for a single throw, I have been cleared after my annual physical today.

Actually the 1st half of the season they massively outproduced with RISP. Now it just seems a regression to the mean.

I’m willing to let the season play out here. Have to see if he can make adjustments. Lewis seems to be doing that. Keaschall I’d argue has made adjustments. Lee has to get to where he can produce again

I think he will settle into a decent utility player.  2nd 3rd maybe 1st.

Royce Lewis can beat you in so many ways.

Never thought I'd be typing that.

Sounds like a job for speech to text, then....

Agreed. He’s in the bucket of players that need the rest of the season to decide on their future role.

Wait.

We're ... given a choice in these matters?

I will have to reconsider everything.

Out of curiosity, would you rather have Lee as the utility guy, or Ryan Kreidler?

[MMMordabito]

Can't be walkin' Bobby

Why not?  He can't hit it over the fence that way, and the force out removed him from the basepaths.

Towing the line on sacrilege there...
