    Should have been a sweep if we’d have been proactive on Minter but taking three out of four in Phoenix two years in a row is hard to complain about.

    i'd sent Minter down weeks before we finally did, we allowed him to blow too many games.

    I had a healthy respect for David Peralta in the off-season when his name kept coming up in hypothetical trade talks but after these seven games with Arizona that respect went up times 100!

    Well, it was unfortunate Viz got hurt all the sudden.

    And Minter was only one with closer experience. Venters was rehabbing.

    I swear... Luke Jackson going to come out of nowhere to become the next dominant closer... lol at baseball. The guy who was most on the hot seat is now our most valuable 'pen asset for the time being.

    I wanted 3-4 on that west coast trip and the boys pulled it off. Great late inning play in AZ this weekend. The offense picked up the pitching and vice versa.

    Honest question, would you extend Culberson? I would not spend much as we control him through 32.

    That said the guy has shown he can excel in this role. It’s a tough role. Some say comargo is coming back to true talent but I’m not sure. It’s hard to play part time and multiple spots.

    I don’t know how the extensions work but would it make sense to do 3/6million with a team option on the end?

    Swanson taging balls and still bad luck. Hit was probably on his worst contact.

    Anyone have a suggestion of a team who would want ender? Every time we sign someone to a bargain contract I swear it comes back to not be a bargain. Hopefully Ozzie and acuna break that trend

    Why would we extend a bench player, especially when we already have him through his prime years? It’s not like he’s going to become to expensive to keep.

    Ender has been worth his contract up to this point.
