Do we know if Rodon has an expected return date yet?

While I'd like to hope Mazara is going to turn it around soon, I hope after a couple more days of him grounding out to 2nd and striking out would warrant a "Nomar Mazara optioned to Schaumburg, Andrew Vaughn called up to play RF because he can" thread.

What i was thinking. He had so much potential when he first came here. He had an upper 90s fastball, his curve was just a hammer as the other poster mentioned, and if I remember correctly he had a fantastic straight change as his primary offspeed/putaway pitch. I wonder what happened.

Hopefully they resign James McCann. I think he needs to be a bigger priority than what people are saying he will actually be. Figure it out, he's a major reason this team is where it is.

How did that pop out of the glove?

Amazing isn't it? I would say that being on a team that actially wins probably makes a difference in focus on the field for him...

Geeze that umpire almost poked EE's eye out as he called his swinging strike.

If its at DH, thats fine. But he's currently being outperformed by our other catcher.

Spread those wings baby

I really want Yolmer to stick. But in order to do that my man's gotta get consistently on base and bat at least .250 to keep a spot on this roster.

WUSSUP BOIS DA GOOD GUYS UP 2-0 ALREADY AGAINST THE TWINKIES #2020 VISION THIS OUR YEAR BABAAAYYYY

PITOOOOOOOO

What I was thinking lol

I'm not sure we really should have expectations for this team once they get to the post season. Most of these guys need postseason experience. I'm not expecting a championship, but I am expecting a decent showing in at least the first round.

I'd do it.

James McCann is better than Yasmani Grandal. Change my mind.

Alright lets go. Top of the order needs to get the job done here. Can't let this be a missed opportunity.

I would be absolutely fine if we didn't trade for anyone

No

I would rather Grandal learn RF, put McCann as the primary starting C, and have Collins be our primary backup. Can we make this happen?

What a division race!! All 3 teams atop the ALC are 20-12. If you go purely based off records...you could say we have the toughest division in the AL.

I know I am rather annoyed by it...although I wonder if there really is some subtance to the theory that the more James gets rest. The better he is. He was overused by the Tigers and by us, and he wasn't that great during the 2nd half last year. Maybe he needs less games in order to be a great catcher?

1st place...this late in the season...what a weird feeling

It's dragging on.

Dat ball wuz kilt
