Then they should sit him until then. He's looked terrible.
1 hit and it should have been an error. I don't think he's had a "good out" where he at least hit the ball well.

Sure, not a big deal. Good chance to get some of the back end some work. I'm sure we'll see those guys in the 8th and 9th.

[Hootie]

when Rios gets a day off Cain should be in RF and Dyson in CF

Orlando should only spell Gordon and PH for Dyson late in games against a lefty.

I'm almost uncomfortable with how well things are going this year, there is literally nothing to work on, so all we can do is keep taking care of business.

Hud says Morales is fast, maybe he can play 2b

[Hootie]

Young doesn't need to pitch. He's rotation depth in case of injury and our long reliever. Morales in the 8th, Madson in the 9th, 6-0.

That's what Im saying, at least until he's 100%. But Hootie says that would be embarrassingly stupid so what do I know?

[Hootie]

I want to see another Moose dong

I have a feeling we're not going to need Young this year

Yep. This roster is damned near perfect. There is a clear "then" for every "if".

[Hootie]

it's a 4 game sample

Alex Gordon looks rusty. That's it. Why is this even a debate right now?

Injuries happen.
