    Marwin's nearly down to .600 OPS. He's really hurt the lineup over the past few weeks. BBref has him as a sub replacement level player (-0.1 WAR).

    Well... in 162 game season terms, a 6 game losing streak is the equivalent of a 16 game losing streak. We're now in a position to fight for the 7th or 8th seed... yikes. It's always better to get hot late in the season rather than early!

    Finally, a quick inning!

    Smart move by the Sox walking Cruz. I'm surprised other teams haven't done that more to him.

    I'm started to get tired of watching Cave. He's sporting a 35% K rate and hasn't provided any power. Jeffers has hit well so far, even if it's been only singles, but perhaps Larnach or Kiriloff could do the same in Jake's spot.

    Finally, a multi-run inning! For some reason we hit well against Giolito, but not against mediocre lefties! Also, Chicago's defense looks just as bad as it was Opening Day.

    I had a similar thought over the past week... it seems like the Twins have have been hitting a lot more lazy fly balls than usual. Only Cruz and Sano have been consistently getting the barrel on it.

    The Marlins actually acquired a veteran? It feels like it's been years since they made a move like that.

    The A's got Mike Minor, a trade target of the Twins last year, from their interdivisional rival, the Rangers:

    The Indians have traded Clevinger to the Padres:
  14. Danchat
    It should be noted that he hit well in the Fall League, had an OPS of .975 for whatever that's worth. As for actually calling him up, they'd have to add him to the 40 man and start his service time clock, which I don't think is wise for a guy who hasn't figured out AA yet.
  15. Danchat
    Royce had a .665 OPS at Fort Meyers A+ and .649 OPS at Pensacola AA last year. If called up, he'll likely hit below .200 and strike out a lot. He needs time to mature as a hitter. I could see Larnach or Kiriloff hit well if called up, though it's far from a sure thing that they would be an improvement from what we have now.

    The Rockies are getting Orioles reliever Mychal Givens. Looks like we should expect more trades to come today.
  17. Danchat
    Pineda is being activated for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, so a 28 man move and a 40 man move will need to be made.
  18. Danchat
    Seems like our RISP has been dreadful the last 3 weeks. They can get runners on somewhat consistently, but really have no way of getting them in outside of sac flies, which usually guarantees we only get 1 run per inning.
  19. Danchat
    Time to break this inning open! We need to take a big lead here.
  20. Danchat
    Can we acquire him in a trade before the deadline? Possibly for a CTBNL (coach to be named later)?
  21. Danchat
    Trading Thorpe? Well, you might get some cash for him after he's DFA'd. I think the most tradeable asset is one of Kiriloff or Larnach.
  22. Danchat
    I am worried about this team, but I'll try not to overreact too much... but this offense needs a kick in the pants. Get Buxton back, Donaldson back, DFA Vargas, and maybe trade for a RH bench bat with a bit of pop. Either that or give one of the OF prospects a shot just to see if they can get this lineup going again. As for the pitching, Thorpe needs to be DFA'd and replaced with a starter who can fill in these bullpen games. Whether that's Duran or a guy on another team, I'm not sure. By the way, what happened to the opener? Why not have Clippard/Wisler start a game, get through the 1-5 hitters, and then have a starter try to go 5/6 innings? I like that idea more than these bullpen games. And if this team really wants to compete for the World Series, they need an ace starter... but it doesn't seem like getting one through a trade this year is possible. And our prospects who could become that aren't getting a full season in... ugh.
  23. Danchat
    With our offense, this might be game over.
  24. Danchat
    So, remember that article that said regression was coming for Dobnak? Well, it's here!
  25. Danchat
    Kepler hasn't been hitting very well against lefties.
