50-31
The record looks okay but our division lead is dwindling. Down to 5.5 games. We need to get back on track ASAP. Unfortunately we're going against Musgrove today, and I have a feeling he's going to be pretty damn motivated. We didn't look good against our last ex....
On the plus side, Peacock should be able to do well against this team, and we have a number of guys due for a bounceback game.

When our offense gets healthy they will be great. Pitching....Ugh.

The pitching last night was terrible, but they can’t keep letting random pitchers dominate them by hitting those weak grounders and fly balls. The pitching help should be fixed by trade, but there’s no excuse for the sputtering offense. They have a lineup most GM’s would kill to assemble. |

The Rangers and A’s aren’t going away, and even the Angels now have a winning record. I hope the organization isn’t taking an easy approach to these blowout losses because we all know how dangerous Oakland was last season. You can’t take this division for granted just because of the Mariners. |

Interesting, Álvarez and Straw play secondary positions today. At least Hinch is trying something new. |

Straw's batting .167 in 2 starts at shortstop .. let's hope he breaks out

Straw would get more starts if Brantley was injured instead of Diaz. At present Hinch has to decide if he prefers Straw or Gurriel on the left side of the infield

Not a good start so far for Peacock with the inconsistent bats ready to bat in the bottom half.

An overhand throw instead of underhand probably makes the difference there.

I’d like to see our guys hit line drives the way the Pirates are.

Maybe he can settle down and at least give us 4 more innings without any further damage... The offense needs to score more than 4 runs anyways.

The offense should be able to score five runs, but will they?

7-game hitting streak for Jose. It would be nice to see him have a big day and set the tone. Maybe steal a base or two.

They’ve got to get Peacock out. Enough already.
