Kepler would have had that.

Garver in the leadoff spot? I guess he does have the best OBP.

I knew that lucky Chicken and Waffle Cone would come in handy. Go Twins!!

Pineda was great, especially not losing his cool after all the dink and dunk and umpire donk in the 3rd. Hope we get Garv-sauce and La Tortuga back tomorrow. This offense is much more potent with them in there.

Pineda forgot his rabbit's foot.

Nice grab, Polanco!

AOC is in it too

You aren't the only one. I'm not usually a plugger for the "starving artists", but some of the numbers in this article are troubling.

Do we still need to PM for this? Is "Member Title" how we do this? I read something about not being able to change until after 250 posts.

Oh c'mon, you should have called him/her "Big Inflatable" at least once!

Not a fan of the condescending tweet about fans calling for Kimbrel, but I can listen to the second part of it suggesting a trade. However, stating this is the team we have when it comes to Kimbrel and then backtracking and suggesting a trade involving the team we have is contradictory. The big issue seems to be a lack of another high leverage lefty. Kimbrel wouldn't solve that directly, but he could create a trickle down where Rogers can be saved for that instead of being used as the #1 overall high leverage option. The system isn't well stocked at the top in this area. Moya is hurt. Gonsalves is hurt and not really on that path. Thorpe is stretched out right now, although maybe he could be an option. Nicolino probabaly doesn't have a lot of upside. So I see two options internally: 1) Write off last night's debacle as nerves and weather, then give Vasquez a few more chances to prove himself. 2) Roll with a kid and do what it takes roster-wise to call up Jovani Moran. He could actually be a real weapon. As far as trades with non-contenders go, it's too early for that pool to have a lot of options: 1) Jake Diekman would probably be available, and I would view him as an upgrade over Mejia, Vazquez or Moya in the short term. He's a band-aid though. 2) Paul Fry would probably cost a bit more in prospect return, but he could be a longer term solution. 3) Amir Garrett may be available at some point, but the Reds just did a whole lot to upgrade their team. It will probably be awhile before they go into sell mode. 4) Felipe Vazquez is probably going to cost the most and would be a deadline option, if Pittsburgh even wants to move him. They would also have to go into sell mode. I don't like a lot of what I see on the other non-contenders ATM.

Cruz is saying "Bad Gravy"

This lineup looks like they can score on anyone, but the pitching staff is on balewire right now. Keep running through the 40-man and then some or make a trade or sign Kimbrel.

Bad pizza.

Falvinelli 3.1 has calculated that losing this game, in fact, has a positive outcome on the upcoming home stand.

Garver making a case for following up the La Tortuga promotion with a Garv-sauce promotion.

This Dominic Smith dude is a tool.

Can we trade DeJong to the Mets mid-game, so that we can maybe win?

Good series for Schoop.

Zimmerman, Ross and Hardy will look like Care Bears shooting rainbows out of their bellies compared to these Thor offerings.

Where was that 0-2 pitch to Syndergaard?

Holy crap! Where was this guy last inning?

I was going to save the other half of this bottle of wine.
