3 straight walks in the 9th with a lead is inexcusable to me.

It was horrible but he had a 0.90 ERA coming into last night and was a huge reason we won on Sunday. You don't ditch a reliever after one bad performance. It's how he bounces back that you worry about.

Maybe, just maybe hearing the boo birds after the blown save in the 9th will spark something with the hitters?

I mentioned it in the game thread last night, but it’s been a weird year so far, not just with our lineup, but look around the league…. The run differentials are a little wacky, even if it is early…

If our offense was just around average, we’d be above .500. A little power would be nice too. Is it too much to ask?

They had to have been booing Estevez...too many walks for a closer

Jac Caglianone is likely to face Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw tonight. ��
Get some, Yung Jac

He faced him last night.

Had 2 hits off him. Solid single and ripped a double that bounced off the wall.


He's gonna be up before the ASB if he keeps this up.

I would expect a move to AAA sometime in May.

Oh absolutely, but the whole team hears it, and they know the fans are getting restless. Might not be anything, but maybe...

I'm excited about Jac too, but this isn't Kershaw from 15 years ago, or even five years ago. Jac hit that oppo double off a chest high 88 mph "fastball". Not trying to be the party pooper, but...

He'd throw a 3 hit (Bobby) complete game shutout against our current big league squad

yeah, Kershaw is def working thru some things but, man that had to give Jac a jolt of confidence... if he needs it or not

Here's what I found on Lugo...

Lugo chose to honor his paternal grandfather, who was Puerto Rican, by playing for the Puerto Rican national baseball team in the 2017 World Baseball Classic.
