I hope we keep Adonis on the team next year either as a platoon with Rio Ruiz or as a bench bat. He's been new player offensively and defensively since his demotion earlier this year.
 
Hey WIsler

Watch out, cause Imma eatcha

We squandered bases loaded with no outs. Not one damn run.

We've had a nasty habit of late of choking away potential big innings. It happened twice in the first two innings against San Fran last Friday night and it's happened twice in the first four innings tonight. As much as I like Ender, he's often overly aggressive and a centerpiece of our squandered opportunities. The saying is (when taking a risk on the bases) "if you're going to go, you better be safe." Ender's judgment has let us down a few too many times lately.
 
Joe and Chip don't know how a mutual option works. They have zero business ever saying anything about roster construction or financial aspects of the game.
 
Wisler's looked great since getting called up. Throwing strikes, getting groundballs, velocity seems higher, etc.

We really need him to establish himself this month.

Would be nice to go into the offseason with 3 guys you can count on for rotation spots.
 
Wisler doesn't need to be an ace for us or even a TOR pitcher. We just need him to pound the strike zone and be a solid middle to bottom of the rotation starter. I think he definitely has the ability to do that.
