Joe Espada: "Every day (he doesn't throw) is another day that we have to build him up. We're running out of days, but we're still hopeful he can get going here in the next couple days. I'm not ready to say that Luis Garcia will not pitch for us this season."

Kendall Graveman got a positive check up from his doctor visit in Dallas today and could start throwing bullpens soon. He hasn't ruled out making a late-season return.

plus Bregman is having the worst season of his career by farMaxPower said:
I'm not overly interesting in marrying Bregman well I to his 30's unless he's giving us a hometown discount (doubtful). The priority should be Tucker.

maybe Espada learned it from Dusty
but in August...there are no more "instill confidence" at-bats for bad hitters
as the manager...you take charge of the at-bat
