Just remember that his favorite pitch is ball one. Watching him battling MLB hitters with underwhelming stuff and getting the win will teach a lot to this young staff.
Abbott looking awesome again with 90 pitches through eight innings. Heading out for the 9th!!
Great diving catch by Fraley. It's small things like that by their vets that make me ignore the cries for a "much needed trade" by the ignorant podcasters. There's not much available in the OF market and what is available is over priced and not much better than what's already here or in AAA.
I'm as old school as it gets, but this mentality of the trade deadline being even close to the same since before the expansion of the playoffs is ridiculous. There are too many teams still in it and can't signal to their fanbase that they're giving up on the season. In the American league, there are only three teams more than five games out, Orioles -8.5, A's -10.5 and the White Sox -13.5.
In the National league, there are six teams over five games out. Arizona -5.5 is NOT going to sell because they had an awesome late season run last year and they made up a lot more than 5.5 games. The Nationals -7 are a possibility to be sellers but Atlanta -9 still thinks that they have a playoff roster that can overcome their rough start so they're not likely to sell. Pittsburgh -11, Miami -12.5 and Colorado -22.5 will be in the market.
That means that there's a good chance that there will be 23 teams trying to improve from the rosters of the seven worst teams in the league. Overpriced for not much available.
