Don't look at me. Bashlor wasn't my idea.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Given that we have two relievers I have any confidence in, and one gave us four outs yesterday, I'd have left Oswalt in.

[bmfc1]

I agree.

His OPS was over .800 last week and he's signed to the league minimum. I'd be shocked if they got no bites on that.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

they interviewed Joey Bats on the radio pregame yesterday, came off as a total mensch. Can't understand why other clubs haven't bitten

[Edgy MD]

OK, 591 career homers due up in the bottom of the 10th.

Wilmo

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to pinch run, but only Guillorme is on the bench.

[bmfc1]

I enjoyed Keith's "uh oh" as Wilmer "ran" from 1st to 2nd.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

maybe you have degrom run

[Edgy MD]

C'mon! Pinch-run with deGrommie!

Or the bullpen catcher.

[Edgy MD]

Man, the way they're watching that hook for called strikes is eating me up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

To begin the 7th? - Definitely.
But then -- once he started that inning Single - HR - Single (bunt) -- I had no problem pulling him at that point.

Bashor should take that lame tattoo to the UFC and and not got up for a long time

[ashie62]

Oswalt was very good. A 2019 contender.

Coulda dumped Wheeler for Oswalt?

[Edgy MD]

Why would anybody dump Wheeler?
