So, who do you line up to pitch in the next three innings? #useastarter

That deserves a curtain call. Anybody know what Laggy is wearing on his forearm band?

Bunt that, suckaroonies.

Ruben watched a first-pitch meatball go by.

Folks missing a great game. Well, you're probably catching the game, BUT YOU'RE MISSING MY POSTS. TravisBOMB followed by something ever rarer, a Flores walk. He's suddenly a walk machine.

#STARTGILMARTIN! #GILSTARTIN!

Ron and Gary agree that we wasted Maybone there.

#DILSONDONGER!!

Second decker Ceciliani. That's something.

They just cut to the Ehrhardt banner again.

Two back. Might have been three or more, but two outs on the bases. Whose idea was that brick backstop, anyways?

Simmons maybe impressed me more in missing that soft liner by Duda than in many plays he makes. He had no bidness being even in on that play.

I veer away from the Harvey-as-savior perspective, but this is pretty macabre/funny.

Just saw the Lunchbuckets during the game intro!!

But three-run homers, those are hard to match.

Foltynewicz bunting like a Met.

Lots of activations and deactivations, including two guys in today's lineup. I don't know if their performance will be more attractive, but their appearance certainly won't be. #ByeByeRecker TransactionActivated From Bereavement ListDemoted To Las Vegas ContractDemoted To Las

This one kinda hurt. I mean, having lived very dangerously the last two days, it's relatively fortunate to walk away with one win, but it still hurt. Flores not picking the double play ball cleanly. Not that it matters that much without Tejada out, but that's why you use defensive replacements. And Muno spending the afternoon butchering third while he's likely a better bet to come up with those plays at short. There's only so far the "I wanna stay off the back page" logic can stretch. None of Muno's errata led directly to runs... but they were deeply consequential in that it stretched the pitching staff's workday, asking them to get three more outs that, in the end, they didn't have in them. Someday, somebody will wake up and realize how wasteful it is to default to changing relievers at the top of the inning whether the previous guy threw 3 pitches or 30. Bobby Parnell threw all of four pitches. With your closer out, and desperate for solutions, why not just let him start the ninth? And sooner or later, you've got to let Gilmartin see the light of day against Freeman and Markakis. You know you're playing Russian Roulette treating �lex Torres as a lefty specialist when he's just not.

The report from Rubino nonetheless said they intend to activate him, at least initially.

Frayed Knot wrote: Are you just going to say this reflexively after each and every loss or are you going to toss in a cogent argument one of these days? It would be nice.

Doo could almost bunt a double here.

So, assuming Familia is unavailable, after Torres, we have Gilmartin and then we dip into the rotation.

Grubbage.

No good door to pick here.

Johnson getting all the calls on that walk.
