    Ive said for a long time now, trade Lewis. People replied saying he was looking great and getting comfortable at the plate and on defense...still waiting for that. Just trade him. He's underperformed for years now. How many seasons do we need to accept this? He is a HUGE reason the team is struggling. Being late to his defensive position is just another example of why. 1B is supposed to produce high end offensive results. If we had that, we'd likely have won a few more games. Kremer is what he is. A #5 starter. We have those. If we sign or trade for a top end starter over the offseason and he is a casualty of that, so be it. Id much rather see a guy like Zebby or Prielipp get a rotation spot over him. Morris and Gomez look to be getting a tired. I dont think theyre used to pitching this much in a season. Jeffers has been rough. Makes me wonder if he aggravated that hand injury and is trying to play through it.

    Someone needs to be displaced when Ryan comes back. The guy on an "innings limit" would make sense. Its very clear to anyone watching that he seems to get tired or hit harder around the 4th inning or so now. Ober has been getting the shorter leash and its mostly worked well for him. I'd imagine the decision would come down to one of those 2. Maybe they pitch them both in a piggyback type situation after Ryan returns? Let Bailey go 4 or 5 inning and have Prilipp finish the game. If Ryan is fully healthy upon returning, he is better than anyone in the rotation except maybe Bradley, so whichever guy is taken out of the rotation, it will be better for the team. Since Prielipp is on an innings limit, I suppose he would be my choice. Send him to the BP and let him take it easy the rest of the season.

    I like his offensive profile. His bat has been much better since he broke out of the slump. Baserunning still needs some work (tripping on the way to 1st base comes to minc) but hes quick enough to make up for some of it. Where I worry is his defense. He seems to be prone to some odd mistakes. Hopefully an offseason of work in the OF will clean up those mistakes. Hes a good player. I definitely like having him on the team.

    Should've been ERod called up. Last option year, we need to see how he fares against some MLB pitching. His defense would be a big upgrade over Larnach, too. Just let Buck get that surgery and get his hip right. He's not doing himself or the team any favors by trying to play injured. Will Gonzalez even play? Or did he get called up to sit on the bench? Atleast it wasnt Gray called up again.

    Culpepper got caught lifting his head on that error. Gotta make the play first. I was happy when we traded for help at the deadline. But the players didnt respond. Atleast not yet. Still a little time, i suppose, but its running out fast.

    Very rough night for Kremer. He just could not find a rhythm. Clemens and Lee with HRs. Kind of a fun little back and forth they have going on. 22 HRs apiece. Since moving to 3B, Lee has really turned his season around. Jenkins getting his 1st ML hit and walk. The moment most of us have been waiting for finally arrived. He sure looked like he belonged out there. Im hoping ERod is, at minimum, a September call up to get his 1st taste of the Bigs. More than deserving of a promotion at this point. Let him take over LF. Jenkins in CF. Keaschall in RF. Shut down Buxton and let him fix his hip. He hasn't looked right since July when he first got injured. Even if he plays, his bat has been terrible. Honestly, im ready to see a daily lineup of the future. LF- ERod CF- Jenkins RF- Keaschall 3B- Lee SS- Culpepper 2B- Clemens 1B- Lewis C- Jackson Thats a lineup I'm ready to see.

    We are right near where people figured we should be. A weak AL has us in a playoff hunt and instead of selling expiring contracts and calling up young guys at the deadline, we were buyers. Delayed some arrivals. Its been a fun year
  19. soyouresayingtheresachance
    He shouldve been traded.
  20. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Id much rather see Acton or Anderson
  21. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Glad we didn't get him. Awful Awful teammate. Terrible attitude. Clubhouse cancer.

    Very nice start from Ober. He was throwing well and absolutely shouldve been out there to start the 6th inning. Yet another game the BP gave away. They came into a tied, winnable game and made it a blowout again.
  25. soyouresayingtheresachance
    What a clutch hit from Clemens to tie it up. Too bad it was wasted. 2 hits. No walks. Lucky to score twice Back to winning ways with Kremer tomorrow!
  26. soyouresayingtheresachance
    He has become my favorite player on the team. Anywhere you put him, hes been good to great on defense. Has good power. Been a great teammate.
  27. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I agree. Its a natural progression down the defensive spectrum. My opinion, with Buxton still being a capable CFer, I'd discuss the move with him 1st to make sure hes ok with it. I feel like hes earned that.
  28. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Trade them both. Larnach is a platoon hitter that cant play defense. No room on the rosyer for guys like him. For Ober, the rotation already has 6 guys fighting for 5 spots before adding Ober to the equation. Plus Rojas, Festa and Zebby at AAA. Again, just no room for him with e eryone else waiting.
