Oh, good. I thought BJ might get a night off or have to bat 9th or something.

Jason Heyward got the Heart and Hustle Award (which I didn't know even existed). I thought Heyward didn't love baseball.

It's also known as the PWB award.

[TURBO]

This could get ugly.

[TURBO]

Not an easy play, but BJ has to make that play.

[jsebe10]

If we don't rip this guys titts, someone needs to lose their job. His #s are ridiculously awful.

lol there just really is no point in calling out his fails anymore. That dude, man I swear.

[stpeteirish]

Minor is terrible, again. Does he get a free pass all year?

[Garmel]

Good damage control by Minor.

[CyYoung31]

I'll take it.

[Bama9507]

Minor start. Thankfully I can't watch.

[TURBO]

1 run? I am relieved.

He will settle in. Just a little rusty is all. Give him a chance to find his release point. He was stellar vs the Cubs.

you had me until the last part.

It was mentioned on the Bill Shanks show today that Freeman has been a little mentally effected by the release of his good buddy STRuggla and that could be a reason for his recent struggles...thoughts ??

***Bill himself wasn't on the air today so save your personal insults***

I guarantee Gattis gets a hit in his next AB with nobody on and 2 out. We just can't buy a hit with runners on and I still don't understand why Fredi messed with the lineup. I like La Stella lower in the lineup with a chance to drive in runs.

Small sample size and such, but La Stella is 0-16 with one walk (counting tonight) when batting 2nd and 2-20 and two walks when batting 1st. I like him lower in the order as well and it looks like he performs better there as well.

[CrimsonCowboy]

In addition to the bullpen, I still contend the rotation needs attention before the deadline.
