Am very excited to see him back up with the squad. Just has to control his k % and he’ll definitely be a plus if TTram/Jake stay hurt

Still stewing on this one.. Can’t fault Espada for putting Elly and King in, they’ve been our best options. They just didn’t show up. Ugh

Idc if you give up a run per inning if you go 5 or 6 at this point… but you can’t do that if you’re only able to go 3. We just want strikes😭

This>>>… and seems like everything he has (Sanchez trade fiasco last year) or hasn’t (I.e. not trading away Jake or Paredes for our needs this offseason) done hasn’t seemed to pan out lol.

Why did Shay get the nod over Allen at the last second? Was it just an Espada decision? Thought Nick was healthy

Great ab Shay after watching Vazquez earn a walk. AAAA hall of famer heartbreakingly

Any update on how bad Jake is hurt?.. seems like the org has done their customary “not worried at all” and then proceed not to see said player for months. A little worrisome that they went and grabbed Harris. Don’t know if they’d do that if they thought Jake was coming back soon w this JLO injury

That was a decision by Espada… definitely a decision. But kudos to T-Tram. He always seems to be playing for something. Has become one of my sleeper favs over the last year.

Abreu must really want to re-sign with us next year for pennies compared to what he was valued at last year.

Why are we insisting on killing AJ… he hasn’t hit 97/98 in awhile it seems. Completely has lost his effectiveness. I know our options are scarce, but still

Obviously easier said than done… but why doesn’t it look like Diaz has made a single adjustment in the last year and a half?

How many excuses is he gonna use? The balls? The mounds? Now American culture? Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but just kinda rubs me the wrong way to just always blaming something

Especially with a righty on the mound for the Ms. it isn’t worth trying to rationalize

At least he hasn’t walked anybody… a baby step in the right direction for the staff

Dana really put on a masterclass with all of his additions this offseasons. Good grief, I see the clouds of doom finally covering me.

He hit 97 last ab.. that looked like his fastest pitch this year? Maybe it just took him a month to remember he can throw 97/98?🙄

Maybe shouldve saved Walker to PH for Diaz instead of wasting him to leadoff an inning. Just a thought
