GDT 6/22/19: Swatting Gnats

Might be one of the greatest grammar mistakes in the history of internets forums.
The funny thing is the first time I read it my mind autocorrected it so I didn’t even notice. I’d be a disaster as a proofreader because I tend to mentally fix obvious errors and not notice.
 
I can get in the Stroman train if he is cheap.

Couple of buddies told me he had a massive dick in high school though.

Puts a potential new spin on his trademarked “HDMH” acronym.
 
Can just see it now

*thethe and buddies watching Blue Jays game at a bar"

thethe: I wouldn't mind seeing Stroman in a Braves Uni.
Buddy 1: Yeah only problem is he has a massive dick.
thethe: For real?
Buddy 2: Oh yeah. BIG time massive dick. Remembered from high school.
thethe: Well that sucks. Pics or it didn't happen.

our phones learn our habits all too well...I never have to type in all of expecting a yuge game...I guess thethe's phone does the same but puts in a different word than game

Austin Voth will pitch for Washington tomorrow. He’s a 40 FV guy whose been so-so in AAA this year. Big break for us to avoid Corbin.

HUUUUGE opportunity to FINNISH the Nats tomorrow.

I wonder if he’d agree to be sent down. I’m pretty sure he’s out of options. Maybe a mental reset and getting his command straight under less pressure could be what he needs if it’s mental. It’s clear he’s not right. There are no signs of him turning the corner that I can see.
 
It is but I feel like we have a lot of the pieces we need. I feel good about Soroka and Keuchel. Fried and Teheran should be alright on the back end. I wish we had another middle of the rotation starter or better since I don’t trust Folty at this point. I think Soroka, Fried and Teheran May regress from early in the season but will still be fine.

The bullpen really isn’t bad with Newcom and Touki out there. Swarzak was a great pickup, Minter has improved Dayton looks decent, and Jackson looks solid although he makes me nervous as a closer. One more high leverage guy would be nice but it’s not urgent any more.

We need one quality starter and for some guys to get going again. We’ve had some rough outings lately even by the good ones but it’s fortunate our hitting has been red hot.


I don’t think you guys realize how lucky the bullpen has been getting and how many guys are pitching above there heads.I hope it lasts for the rest of the year but I think regression is right around the corner for Swarzak,Jackson and others and it’s gonna suck.
We need atleast 2 more arms for the pen and I’d get rid of Blevins who is done for and start using Minter as the loogy.
Our offense is elite and I believe we can patch together enough starting pitching to make it work but I’d rather add BP help at the deadline more so then another starter although I wouldn’t be opposed to both.

Hopefully a fake injury is in the works and we just flip he and Gausman.

They have definitely been lucky but they are much better than they were earlier in the season. I would say our bullpen is a little better than average but has gotten great results lately. Early in the season it was miserable.
