    As I said weeks ago every team knows pitch this team in the bottom of the zone. The other thing this team can't hit junkball pitchers. You will see that tonight with Perez pitching for the Braves. And of course he is a LH pitcher so Shelton will load the lineup with RH bats. This is the week to show up or start setting up their golf reservations for October.

    There isn't a single person here that thought this team would be in the position it's in at the start of the season. You all wanted the rebuild to start in April and now that they still have a chance it's bring up this guy or that guy. They brought Culpepper up and he hasn't set the offense on fire. The 1st of September is just around the corner and they will add Jenkins and a pitcher. And then again Buxton will probably be on the IL,because I think he just wanted to play the game in Iowa. Which ever team ends up being the 3rd WC in the AL or the NL has 0 chance in the playoffs.

    Sorry but Keaschall is a player without a position. He can't field the ball at 2nd and even if he can field the ball in the OF he can't throw the ball. When he makes a throw it looks like he is short arming the throw. His throws are more rainbow than line drive. His bat is fine,but defense is hard to watch. Can this team afford to have him in the lineup everyday. Because the team can only have one DH maybe he is the DH against LH pitching. It would give the team a better look at Roden for the next couple of weeks.

    Lewis was on MLB before the game and told Harold Reynolds he was going to go deep to LF. That's hard to do when you SO numerous times. Watching Taj start the game he doesn't have the mental makeup to pitch in a game like this. He needs more experience before having him in a game like this. You saw how Nola handled it versus Taj and its more between the ears than ability. The whole lineup looked like deer in the headlights swinging off balance and striking out again and again. They all seemed to be trying to hit one into the corn.

    Watching the games over the last week its easy to see that Clemens needs to take a seat. He has become an automatic out,with his only hit being a bunt. And Keaschall is a player without a position. He can't field at 2nd and he can't throw from the OF. With Lewis now getting most of the play at 1st that also means he can't play there. He may need to go to St Paul and Jenkins take his spot. I don't know if his throwing a baseball can be fixed or not but it's not working as is. It is a real problem for the team and their chances going forward.

    When Buxton went on the IL they could have brought Jenkins up but didn't. Why is that,maybe they know something that we don't. If fans want to see Jenkins or Culpepper play they do play just a few miles from Target field. The way I see next years roster it will look a lot different because this roster is full of multiple position players. As a player you need to know what position is yours to play,not what glove you need. If there is such a logjam in the OF why didn't they move someone like Wallner. He is another one who could have been up to replace Buxton but they chose not to.

    DFA this guy or that guy isn't going to help a team that can't hit pitches in the bottom of the zone. Every team is now pitching this team at the bottom of zone. The other thing is with the stacked RH lineup against LH starting pitching Clemens is the best hitter. The SP has been terrible since the break giving up runs in the 1st and 2nd inning game after game. Hard to win when you have to come back from a deficit again and again. Really tired of the booth saying Taj this and Joe that when you see they are at 40 pitches after 2 innings. Hopefully the new SP with a 6+ ERA can get passed the first 2 innings tonight. I turned last nights game off after the 3rd inning because I saw the hand writing on the wall. This team can't keep Witt off the bases and a single or a walk is the same as a double. The time is now to show up or look to next year.

    Don't know what game people are watching,but since the break just 1st base alone has had Bell,Caratini,Clemens,Jackson and Lewis. And 2nd base Clemens,Keaschall,Kriedler,and Lewis and Lee 1 game. It really doesn't look like the infield is settled to me.

    Its pretty plain and simple you play musical chairs with your infield things like this will happen. Last night Shelton moved Lewis to 2nd late and Caratini to 1st and had 5 infielders and still lost. Caratini was not able to get the ball down the line. At times Shelton seems to over think the game. Not saying Lewis makes the play but probably reacts differently than the night before. If or if not more trades are coming the team has to settle on the infield positions to remain in the playoff run. They can't keep giving extra outs to the other team.

    Clemens was on MLB Central and DeRosa said he was going to go deep in the game and he did. It was a great win and everyone should be excited. This teams biggest problem though is can't hit LH pitching. They stack the lineup with RH bats and are just not getting it done. If they want to get a playoff spot this will need to change.

    After Sands had a hard time to get 1 out in the 6th inning why would you think it was a good idea to send him back out in the 7th inning. The lead had been cut basically in half and the momentum was now in the A's favor. There has to be something going on with Buxton because he was terrible in the whole series. Maybe he hurt his hip again making the catch stepping over Martin and hitting the fence. They can't look past the Royals just because Witt is on the IL. The next road trip has the Mariners and the Brewers as well as the Royals again and Witt could be back next week. It's all hands on deck for the next 12 games or they can look to 27.

    Even a Little League team score a couple of runs when they have 7 walks. This one falls on Shelton,should have PH numerous times and didn't. Caratini looked like he had zero interest in being in the box after fouling the ball off his knee. Bell and Lee were flat out terrible hitting into inning ending DP's. Just maybe Clemens,Larnach or Roden could have sparked a comeback. This hurts because both the White Sox and Cleveland lost and the Tigers won and only a half game back.

    Trading Jeffers and or Jackson may be on hold until Caratini is ready. He had to be helped off the field last night. The last thing a catcher needs is a bruised knee. If they still think the team is still in the division or WC they can't go with one catcher if Caratini is on IL. This is just another thing that has happened to the team they didn't need.

    One out of the last 4 games has been watchable. This is starting to look like the same team that came out of the break last year. They had a workout last Thursday that apparently didn't do anything to get them fired up for the 2nd half. They will be a seller if they get swept by Cleveland and should be.

    Love the folks who always say the team needs to increase the payroll. How has that worked so far. Did that work for them signing Donaldson or Correa and with Lopez going down has been a drag on the staff. With the CBA coming at the end of the season the team needs to at least play the next 10 games and see where they stand. I think the owners have a better idea of where the negotiations are heading then anyone here does. With the Jeffers situation being what it is he should be traded before the deadline. He has been unavailable for weeks and the team stayed in the mix. With Larnach and Bell,can you really trade 100 RBI away to replace them with a rookie who could look over matched in the box. With Roden being called up over Wallner I would say that is the end of Wallner as a player of the future. So let's move him for whatever he brings.
