94 MPH middle/middle and he rolls over one. It's like watching Heyward all over again.

Turner won't be on the team by the ASB, hopefully it'll happen sooner. He's obviously washed.
Hopefully Horton can continue to attack hitters and stay ahead in the count. Honestly not even Brown has his stuff. Guessing he won’t start the majors like Wicks did but that turned out to be unsustainable
Man I haven't been paying attention. Sux are on pace to lose 120 AGAIN this year
More surprising, they don't have the worst record in mlb!
Being overshadowed (undershadowed?) by how bad the Rockies are
Angels are really bad too. I just read they are on pace to break the all time BB/K ratio on offense.
Hope I'm wrong but don't have a good feeling about this series.
Going to need to trade for more pitching if this team is going to compete down the stretch. Top 2 guys in the rotation are hurt, 1 out for the year in Steele so now relying on a Taillon who is maybe a 3 or 4th starter in most rotations, Rea who is a career journeyman, two rookies in Brown and Horton, and another backend of the rotation pitcher with a history of injuries in Boyd. Pair that with some questionable guys in the bullpen and we are only in mid May right now they are just 1 more injury to the rotation from having to rely on more journeymen pitchers they picked up off the scrap heap in the offseason or minor league guys that have had mixed results.
So far some of these guys have panned out in small sample sizes with Flexen, Pomeranz, Hollowell, Keller, and Cosgrove but can they keep it up or will they come back to their career averages at some point. We said during the offseason bringing in a front end of the rotation starter and 1 or 2 lockdown late inning guys for the bullpen was needed and with the injuries we knew would eventually happen not addressing that could come back to bite us,
The offense is in a small funk at the moment but I think it will be fine. Especially if they can get 3B figured out, hopefully when Shaw is eventually called back up he can improve the play we've had there. Have some bats in Iowa if the offense gets into too much of a funk where you can try to plug in Ballesteros, Caissie, or Alcantara and move on from Turner.
