GDT 7/31/19: Deadline day pairs Soroka and Skillet Hands

By the way, we lucked out next series and don't have to face Castillo, the Reds best pitcher. Although now we may have to face Bauer.

DBacks held onto Ray, so Nats will still have to face him in their upcoming series. They were not scheduled to face Greinke.

Remember when we criticized AA for not non-tendering Duvall?

I didn't, I supported the move. Probably one of the few here that did. But I have been a Duvall fan since his good years in Cincy.

The outcome doesn't make Snit any less of an idiot. it just makes him a winning idiot.

exactly, he has been bad since that first game he gave away in KC. Worse than usual that is, thankfully we won anyway today.

It was a small but vocal membership that we can now cash in.

Personally, I'd also argue we'd lost this series had Markakis stayed healthy. Duvall was key to winning this series, esp. game two. He gave us a shot in game one too but managing was bad. Left DK in too long on a day he had struggled but kept them at 2, etc. The loss of Markakis might help us the second half despite it testing our depth.

the Duvall Medal is on the way for the deserving few

I didn’t quite understand what folks wanted to do with that relatively small amount of money.

Yea, depth is always good too. AA understands that better than most do.
