He'd be a relatively good buy as far as acquiring pure talent.

The metrics have moved closer to when he was an All-Star. Strikeouts back up, most notably.

I think the articles right in that none of us on the outside will be able to pin down with any accuracy what he'd cost.

If it gets to him, I think you got a pinch hit Rua for Moreland against Chapman.

At some point Odor is going to have to start taking pitches and working the count

Certainly sounds like a better option than blowing out prospects for Sale or Tehran

I'd actually like to see a Chapman-Moreland at-bat.

Good potentional for one of the silliest looking at bats of the season, or Moreland has a chance to punk him and send one into the Bleacher Creatures in right field.

You wouldn't trade for arguably the best pitcher in the AL if he became available?

To have Hamels, Sale and Darvish through next season...that would be absurd.

It has the potential to get a lot more bang for your buck than trading for Sale or Teheran.

I'd sure love to have Chris Sale, though.

If I'm the Braves, I keep Teheran and try to build around him the next few years. And it'd take a king's ransom for another team to change my plans.

Oh well. Maybe Chapman come out next inning.

Given the likely cost, no.

I sure would. I'll gladly trade potential for a proven, perennial Cy Young contender with a very friendly contract. Seriously doubt it happens though.

Rangers bullpen does't believe in"making it easy."

Adds some drama to games, though.

Barnette's trying for the ground ball...they're not going to swing at that at this point though.

I used to enjoy watching Castro with the Cubs, but I think he'd be a more productive player if he learned to not swing the bat so often.

That's a creative way to avoid the bullpen choking the game.

Well, I guess thank goodness they're carrying 3 other catchers.

Too worried about framing a pitch that wasn't close...

Chirinos has been terrible since his return from the DL.

First time since we got swept in Oakland we have lost two straight. Sucks but can't complain too much.

Will the last 2 games force our hand into trading for bullpen help?

Funny how bad things seem to happen often when you walk the leadoff guy in an inning. Terrible. Might also need to score more than one run, but the 1-2-3 of Bentaces-Miller-Chapman is absurd. Just stupid.
