I would. Who knows what the hell Shelton will do?

Not even Mrs. Shelton knows.

So we just need Perez to foil this lefty lefty thing.

I want to see a different angle on that steal. The one that looks like he got the wrist might be fooled by the angle, but if they did get him, they messed up

Ke'Bryan Hayes pinch hitting for Perez.....sure could use a big hit here

I wonder if there's a designated "tape his mouth shut" person for the back up catcher now

Hayes has to do better than that

Gameday showed Hayes grounding out on ball four. With each passing day I’m having less and less faith that he’s going to contribute in more than a mediocre way going forward.

We need to understand, what he's getting paid is what teams pay a guy like him. We're so used to not having actual major league players with a major league salary. IMHO right now he's a bargain, he's showing as a 2.5 WAR player, not that I think that stat is the end all be all. We want to believe every third baseman is a power hitter.

I'll take him, and he's a keeper

Wilson has now tied his career high for innings pitched in a start

Hayes is who we thought he was, which is an average hitter and an above average defender. Basically his father in a nutshell. Charlie hit .300 and had 25 home runs once in his career, that year he played in Colorado. So take that for what it's worth.
