Happy Independence Day! Let's keep yesterday's fireworks going against the awful (33-53) Rockies!
Brandon Bielak, RHP: 4.37 ERA, 4.68 xFIP, 7.0 K/9, 3.4 BB/9
= VS =
Kyle Freeland, RHP: 4.88 ERA, 5.02 xFIP, 6.0 K/9, 2.9 BB/9
Key pieces vs. Freeland: Mauricio Dubon (.400 in 10 AB), no one else has more than 3 AB against him
Freeland is not very good, and our lineup is right-handed-heavy. The offense really should have a good day (knock on wood). Bielak isn't great himself, but the Rockies actually have baseball's worst offense so far this year. How bad? Rangers and Rays are tied for first at 20.8. The second-worst offense, Oakland, has been worth 3.5 WAR total. Colorado is at -0.3!

Who gets the day off? I'm thinking Altuve and Chas today.
Seems like a Kessenger and Bligh day.

Altuve pulled. No word on why yet.

Altuve pulled. No word on why yet. It happened during BP so it’s hard to imagine anything other than an oblique pull. |

Need a W to keep pace with the Rangers. They are currently up 6-2 on the Red Sox in the 8th.

When is this pitching staff going to learn not to walk batters?

Well, Diaz can still throw out base stealers.

Yainer throws better than Mr. Intangibles.

When is this pitching staff going to learn not to walk batters? I feel like the walks have happened way more this season. |

No. I did see a video of him coming out of the batting cage holding his side and clearly in pain. |

Is Freeland a one-hit wonder? I remember he used to be good.

Bielak is doing well. I’d feel more comfortable if the offense could push across a few more runs.

With Meyers getting these singles, Dusty gonna think he deserves to play over Chas.
