“We ain’t taking that!” as Pham took that to the IL. Oof

We have a .667 winning percentage against the Braves. They’re also worse than us.

They still have a worse record than the Rockies guys.

Let’s do better than Vaughn for a future lineup.

Didn’t even realize he was hurt

Yeah, there were at least 3 guys in that deal that were likely going to be non-tendered the next day if not traded (Soroka, Shewmake, Nicky).

For that O’s package, I would drive Garrett to Baltimore.

Yes he was apparently.

Kinda wild to say we’ve been shut out 33 of the last 35 innings and didn’t lose all those games.

Come on Chris, just 2 more.

Yep, I've been saying you might as well throw in the money owed to him for the buyout as well just to get some interest back. But how will we ever replace Eloy?!

My God I thought for sure Eloy was going to be safe at first.

Trade value!

So Jac Caglianone is at the game today.

Gettin close

BOOM!

Maybe they can plan around it to get him some rest. Make his last start July 9th, let him pitch an inning (or 2) in the ASG July 11th, and then let him make his first start after on July 23rd. Basically 2 weeks off without putting him on IL.

Got it at 7.5 on Underdog.

Trade value!

Agreed. Can't see that O's one happening unless more is added going to the O's.

That feels like a lot for the O's to give up for Crochet, with his injury history and 2 years of control. They would get him for a half season more than if they traded for Cease in the off-season, but also may be facing an innings limit with Garrett this year. Maybe if you added a reliever or included Fedde as well (how many pitchers do they need)?

I'm sure there's someone else that we added at some point that shouldn't have been given a shot (or even could have sent someone like Vaughn down at the time since he sucked then). Edit: well, Julks is now showing he is just a guy so there is that.

Old have kept him over Ortega, who I forgot even was on the team at any point.

I remember they could have kept him and probably needed to to avoid playing Pham, or anyone else, in CF. At least not as much. Edit: although the whole situation probably put a bit of a chip on his shoulder when he left.

If I recall correctly, I think there is someone else maybe @ChiSox59 and I suggested could have been sent down instead? I can't remember who though. You're right, there have been so many moves and players coming and going.
