Lewis DH Correa SS Wallner RF Buxton CF Miranda 3B Santana 1B Larnach LF Vazquez C Castro 2B I waffled on Wallner LF, Kepler RF. Kep hasn’t hit as well as Larnach and Kep’s fielding has been good but not spectacular, not enough to bump him ahead of Larnach’s hitting. Vazquez has been one of the better hitters on the team over the last month, when I was ready to trade him for a bag of balls in early July.

I watched Sands blown save, it never occurred to me to lookup if he had a save this season, and he has 3! holy crap!
-
Go Brew Crew!
-
They are currently on track for 39 wins on the season, if they finish with 38, it will be the worst winning percentage in modern baseball history.
-
9 pitches. Trot Alcala back out there
-
Agreed, but Okert, Thielbar, and Sands are the other options. Sands would be my preference, but Rocco hasn’t trusted him in the 9th
-
Alcala 8th, Richardson 9th?
-
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
-
agreed, it’s someone else’s call I can see a scenario where Duran’s contract extension talks are impacted by the FO and Manager converting him to a reliever.
-
Correct, also decisions change. Varland is a starter now. He may not be in the future.

Varland pitched 68 innings last year, so he lost his prospect status coming into this year. He’s still a pretty good pitcher, but borderline in the rotation even now with all the injuries. Agreeing with others SWR is firmly in the rotation for 2025. He’s proven himself to be an MLB starting pitcher. While he might not be sexy/have the upside, he has a high floor. Matthews and Festa have been a treat to watch and such amazing potential. definitely agree with the gist of the OP that these 4 youngish pitchers give me optimism for the future

Dobnak got 3 years 10M. That was a great contract for both sides. Dobnak still has options, unlike Disco what I mean is: 1) Dobnak is down to his last year in 2025, essentially a 1 year $2.25m deal 2) they get their outs very similarly, sinker mix, Pitch to contact, tons of base traffic. 3) I trust their effectiveness about the same. Similar WHIP, ERA, etc, Dobnak is a bit more trustworthy on the injury front being a year further removed, but much shorter track record.

Hilarious! Almost as funny as the DeSclafani article.
-
Anthony DeSclafani is exhibit 1 that there is such a thing as a bad 1 year contract. we’ve seen dozens of Anthony DeSclafanis over the years, and I can’t recall ever being relieved that we got them. Randy Dobnak is already Anthony DeSclafani, and I don’t want another one
-
Jeffers’ everything continues to slump. Likely it’s a combination of all of these factors, with injury/fatigue impacting his hitting too.
-
Isn’t that more reason tho? Both are very ineffective
-
Not Thielbar?
