    Camargo is the only one. Flowers is barely useful.

    If our top 4 are going to get shut down, we’re not scoring many runs tonight.

    Top-shelf analysis, I know.

    Don't you have to catch a ball before you can frame it?

    I don’t think it matters if you’re such a negative both offensively and defensively.

    Donaldson hasn’t hit a homer in like two weeks. Bust.

    Duvall could've walked again if that strike one outside was called a ball. But he has been giving that pitch off the corner off and on all night.

    Can one of our resident master tacticians help me out? Is it still stupid to let the pitcher reach base?

    Only a master tactician can understand the strategic nuances the pitcher batting brings in the first place.

    Flowers looked bad again, chased two straight high to K on three pitches. Didn't even put up a fight.

    Deep into the dugout to don his catcher's gear after striking out?

    Wonder if enough of us tweeting at Contreras if Contreras would apologize to flowers. Those angry words ruined Tyler's career
