Well! From father's day becomes save the bullpen day. Also, another day of no offense from our C and Kim.

Also probably a short thread today. Hard to stick around. Anyway, Happy Fathers Day to those of you in here who qualify

Our C has one of the two RBIs.

Hard to imagine HSK gets many starts the rest of the way. Might need to bring Farmer back and DFA HSK down the stretch.

If AA doesn’t grab a legit starter through trade, he isn’t serious about winning a WS this year.

We would need to trade for an actual LF before we can dump HSK, in order to clear up Dubon to start at SS the majority of the time.

Unfortunately, that's down on the list of things that we need at the deadline.

The first two things we should be focusing on is starting pitching. We have one pitcher in the rotation currently capable of pitching in a postseason setting.

Phillies up 5-0 on the Mets.

Division lead about to drop to 4.

No doubt, but a LF with a pulse would be the third thing. Our lack of offense against decent pitching has been a major issue. We've gotten really lucky with clutch hitting the first part of the year, which masked many of our flaws offensively for a while. Dubon and Smith hitting out of their mind with RISP in particular.

The issue is going to be finding teams with pure upgrades that are selling. There are only 7 teams more than 3 games out of a wild card spot right now, and only 3 that are more than 6 games out right now. That's going to result in a really small amount of sellers, and lots of competition.

The off-season is the time to buy, which makes AA's refusal to even go after low risk guys like Soroka in the off-season all the more frustrating.

Do you trade him?


At this point, I'm only including him in a trade for a star level player with multiple years of control (such as Yordan, if he were to become available).

I'm really surprised they haven't moved him up to AA yet. He clearly has nothing left to prove in A ball.

AA went to see him yesterday. You’ve got to think he’s moving up to Double A or to another team soon.

The only three players on our farm that we should absolutely not part with are Hartman, Southisene and Caminiti.

We're an older team in win now mode, at least we should be in win now mode. Pretty much everyone in the organization should be fair game to be traded if it gives us a better chance at winning a World Series this season.
