    Yup, he would’ve scored. All third base coaches suck.

    We are definitely not paying JD to bat in that situation. I guess Cora hired coaches who he was certain were dumber than him.

    Well, there's a break from TB's coach...two outs I think you gotta send him there, although on the reply Betts had the ball to Holt by the time Duffy was rounding third. Still think ya send him.

    EDIT - upon further review he was already around third and putting on the brakes before Holt had the ball. Maybe a gift from TB's 3rd base coach.

    Will Kelly get a chance to get back on the horse today?

    The ball is being hit pretty hard against Walden. I would get him out before his luck runs out.

    Whew. Through the inning. 3 solidly hit balls, but 3 outs...way to go Walden, welcome to the show. Now sit down.

    Pull him.

    All three outs were hit dead nuts.

    His luck is limited.

    Who should be brought in?

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Lol. I came inside and looked at the tv and thought I saw Kelly.

    Yeah. Take him out.

    Offense has been brutal today. Gotta cross our finger now with this pen.

    A walk with two outs. That drives you crazy.

    The walks are annoying, but Barnes had done his job in all three games he's pitched.
