Shelton - Jones is going to make 80 pitches no matter what.

If Cruz buys into the switch, it could work out really well because he can run like crazy and his arm is other-worldly. But I wonder about his attention span. As I observed him at the game I attended a few weeks back, he didn't seem focused. In between pitches, he was looking all around the ballpar...

This seems an odd time of year for Cruz to be trying to learn centerfield. On the other hand, a good move I suspect in the long run. Actually, it seems like a good time to do it. The team is basically out of the playoff race but is still playing major league games. If he screws up out there it won'...

good chance the Bucs will win 1 or 2 to zip tomorrow. The Cubbies are going to be exhausted.

Edit: Tellez did a good job of avenging Triolo.

This seems an odd time of year for Cruz to be trying to learn centerfield. On the other hand, a good move I suspect in the long run. Don't forget how great it worked moving Davis from catcher to rightfield with little practice. What's the worst that can happen? I don't mind moving him to centerfiel...

I looked at Face's game logs for his 18 win season. It looks like only 4 times did he blow a save and get a win. I always thought that it more like ten that year.

Most closers probably get at least a couple wins after blowing saves.

I would like to see someone in leadership get through to Cruz. And that probably means a change in leadership. Shelton and his coaches are worse than useless. They're counterproductive. I see Cruz's problem as more ignorance than selfishness. Because I don't think he consciously decides he doesn't ...

went to walk the dog after the 8th. Pleasant surprise to see the win. Nice to take it from the Reds. Is that India still crying out there?

The best lineup would have Reynolds back out in the OF, McKinney in CF instead of Bae, Grandal the DH. IDK if McKinney can play CF. If not, have Taylor out there instead of Bae. I'm more confident in him as a CF, and does it really matter which one is at bat, neither of them can hit. Grandal is one...

Remember how great he was in getting out of run downs a few years ago? IKF seems to be a very good player and if he can hit 2...
