I think this is an excellent plan. Good Thinking!

What is Cooper and the bench coach doing? Ricky is surrounded by people to advise him of situational things to think about.

We need pitching and he is a pitcher. Certainly I wouldn't overpay for a half season guy. Just pay half of what a whole season would have cost. I would prefer a 3 year deal and I really don't think his posturing about a 1 year deal means much. The right offer would get it done unless he's a greedy idiot. In that case...I don't want him anyway.

We are allowed to trade for already major league ready players. I hope someone is looking for quality but blocked players. The team is starting to look rather good positionally. The prospects already in hand look to be enough to be very good. Of course any team has room for another 5 star ass kicker. As always...pitching-pitching-pitching is the need. Trade for it-pay for it in free agency-and draft it. Need a never ending supply of quality arms. We are fine already at every position as we wait for Madrigal & Robert to arrive. The return of Kopech and Rodon and Arrival of Cease gives us playoff potential now without adding anyone. In the off season find a #1/2 type guy and another 3/4 and this team contends.

Ho Hum!

If Fry can't come in and mop up a game like this...what useful thing can he do?

Entertaining game tonight! Keep it up boys. On a side note: Nice to see McCann start on a regular basis.

Boy,,,Fry has really struggled. No pressure here and yet he struggles to just throw strikes.

Wow! Ricky got his defense lined up just in time. What a catch.

Amen!

I've tried that please stuff. Hasn't worked for me.

Well...at least for tonight I'm glad I'm not Cleveland.

Lucky is good.

Oops... missed that pitch runner thing.

Not so nuts when looking for an insurance run.

Eloy did well to stay out of the DP on that Anderson ball.

Bummer is taking less than 20 seconds from the time he got the ball back from the catcher to throwing his next pitch. I wish Coop could convince more of our staff to do this. So much more effective.

We might need those runs if Herrera gets into this game. He has shaken my faith as of late.

That didn't take long. Jose has really rediscovered the long ball.

Ricky must be managing Cleveland tonight. Keeping the pitcher in with 105 pitches to start the innings.

Herrera shouldn't sniff this game with the way he's going.

Marshall makes it look so easy. Needs to show the other guys his secret.

Way above expectations. Actually looked like a 4/5 starter if you squint.

Eloy is starting to look comfortable. He's going to have a nice second half.

Really...Really Smart. I would have never thought of that DP.
