Big win tonight against one of the real contenders. Smyly doesn't look to have anything in the tank right now.

haha I know. The one AB Smyly wasn't even close to throwing him a strike and Vlady's 1st AB he was swinging at everything and struck out - he was a bit anxious.

Hopefully Teo can take over the clean-up spot and provide Vlady a little protection. I know some don't believe in it - I do.

I'm hearing Roark has been DFA'd

I think we have enough long inning guys in the oen between Kay, Thornton, Chatwood and Burocki.

I definitely believe in it. I forget where I heard it, maybe here or maybe it was Tabler, but the hottest hitter should be batting behind Vlad. It actually could work

Lots of HRs today. Kirk with another one too.

How long until he's the starting C?

Excellent move. Atkins isn't afraid to admit he made a mistake and move on from a player he acquired. He did the same with Storen in 2016 and actually turned him into a quality piece in Benoit. This time around there's a plethora of young arms to replace Roark in the pen.

They'll probably give Kirk more playing time in May before it becomes more permanent if Jansen can't turn it around.

I'd be fine with Jansen as the starter if he was hitting like 200 but not .050.

I don't like this half half catcher duties though. It doesnt help either of them.

I could be wrong in this, but didn’t lacava sign storen? I’d have to look at when he signed.

Jansen's AB's are so frustrating to watch. It honestly seems like he hasn't worked on a thing to improve his hitting.

Tough break there.

Man Acuna is good. He made a typical single into an easy double.
