Bubbles wants to bring bjax up. The only thing buns is excited about is both cashner and wells threw today. I want to see cashner pitch again

Mateo is falling apart!

I haven’t been watching for awhile, but turn back just because. I want to add that Marcos Mateo sucks. He’s horrible.

Mateo is this year’s Caridad.

I feel like I am not going to pass judgment on relievers who have been overworked like none other

It’s not like Mateo has been worked that hard though. The problem is he comes in when the game sucks and can’t even get someone out. That’s not on Quade. That’s Mateo’s problem.

I just saw the passed ball…it seems this game is so boring to the Gameday and scoreboard update people that they neglected to mention that Byrd actually made it to second base on the passed ball (hence my confusion) and they also didn’t state that Hill replaced Soto two innings ago.
