Y'all are some liars. All of y'all. You don't care about JV. Y'all just want Rally Kate back. I know your tricks.

Both can be true

Notes:
- Lance Lynn has some no trade protections. Seems like the teams on his no-list are Mariners, Padres, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Mets, Yankees, and Tampa. He may leverage that to force a team to pick up his option years
- Padres don't know what they're gonna do yet, leaning towards buying
- Orioles likely looking to load up on leverage bullpen b/c they're unwilling to pay the high cost for starters
- Pirates are talking to teams about Mitch Keller and David Bednar
- A's might look to trade Blackburn, and are getting some calls on Sam Moll
- Ohtani trade unlikely

Brandon Bielak enters today's start with an 82.7 left on base percentage. Among starters who've thrown at least 60 innings, only seven starters have a higher one: Blake Snell, Clayton Kershaw, Yusei Kikuchi, Michael Kopech, Shane McClanahan, Josiah Gray and Wade Miley

I 100% agree with that.

In enemy territory tonight for the game. Pluckers in Ft Worth

In Longview for work the next couple nights. Anyone have a recommendation for dinner/a beer?

Not sure if Bodacious is open for dinner but it's pretty good BBQ

I thought the other 2015 guy was Ketch.

Padres leaning towards buying? Buying who? They are dead in the West, 4 games under .500 and 5.5 games and 5 teams back in the WC.

They're already over all the thresholds, aren't they? What does a few million more, prorated, mean in the grand scheme of things?

need something from 7-8-9 tonight

not a bunch of 0-fers

it's the inability to admit they were wrong about numerous player personnel mistakes

Shouldn't have to ask for this type of thing around here, but yes, I am

Damn. 10 pitch walk.

frustrating

Semien goes 1-pitch 1-out

but then Lowe has a 10-pitch at-bat walk

Bielak over 20 pitches in the 1st

Ferk

Ugh…Jung is so good

Feel like that one was predictable after the walk and falling behind. Hope the bats pick tonight to be on.

F me.

Lowe's 10 pitch AB set that up.

Great job, Bielak. Give up runs AND burn pitches.

Are you calling me fat?
