    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Thank you, Dodgers. 

They don't deserve the greatness of The Yord.

We need 2 bats, a starter, and 2 relievers to be a serious WS contender. Since it now appears that McCullers and Garcia are not coming back at all this season, maybe a healthy and refreshed Verlander can have a cascading effect on the pitching staff.

I think Verlander, Brown, Framber, and Ronell is a good enough 4 in the playoffs. Arrighetti or Bloss can move into the bullpen, the other goes to AAA.

Bats should be 1B and CF.

Cleaning out a closet..

If they need a new 1B, I know a guy who is tan, rested, and ready.

9 RBIs and 2 HRs from a postion needed to produce runs, what an idiotic statement.

Yeah 2hr 9rbi in a month plays when your other option was jose abreu

Vlady jr/Walker do that in like 7 days.

Will Wagner would at least hit closer to .300 and have a OB near .400.

Dana on Sirius about SP at deadline

"Try go to big and see if there’s a deal that makes sense for the organization,” Brown said of his efforts to add a starter. “If that don’t work, we’ll go down to mid-level and hopefully we can land something there. But it doesn’t hurt to ask. When you go through this, ask and thou shall receive sometimes. We want to try to go big, and if we can’t get the big thing done, we’ll try to go mid-level so we can get through this.”


Skubal and Crochet continue to be the names thrown around out there as "big"

It's time to give Leon his shot as the everyday CF. 

I'm not sure how many more days I can watch an outfield of Cabbage/Meyers/Loperfido (insert Chas for any of them on a given day). They may be fine defensively, but way too much swing and miss with that group. 

Tucker needs to rub some dirt on it and get back on the field sooner rather than later. Or if Tucker's "bruise" is still hurting then give Leon a chance.

The potential solution to your swing and miss blues is Pedro Leon? Our Pedro Leon?

Aledmys Diaz activated to roster, Kessinger sent down, Hensley DFA. I wanted a veteran bat on the bench but Diaz seemed done. Bet he starts at first tonight.

Are they really going to try a platoon at first with Diaz? I don’t recall how he hit lefties but he hasn’t hit anything since he left Houston. I mean he did hit .333 in four games in Florida. It’s Abreu 2.0.

When they signed him a couple of weeks ago, dana said he was there for leadership/clubhouse presence

Hopefully it plays out that way and he sees the field as much as Kessinger 

Diaz starting at first with his .103 batting average. Something feels strangely familiar… At least he broke up our outfielders batting 789

Holy shit, we really called up Diaz today. What the acutal fuck?

For his career, he’s been slightly worse against LHP than righties. So not great, Bob

I think Diaz may be on that 8 day plan.

Either do something in next 8 days or gtfo and make a trade.

Seems like penny pinching(thanks Abreu) wishing and hoping that he shows signs of life

If they aren’t going to, or are not able to, do a complete upgrade at first, I would look at a potentially cheap platoon upgrade like Mark Canha. He hits .288 with OPS over .800 against left handers. If they are content with Singleton against RH. 

We can get the tigers to throw Skubal in too
