That Ohoppe AB looked like some kinda Hoskins impression 

[kevinisaname]

Good job getting out of it, Tobias!

[Bulldogboy]

Given that Bauers homered last night I would stick him back in there against a righty. Hoskins is making this a soft platoon at least.

[Brian]

Great hussle by Turang.

Yeah, Rhys isn't doing anything right now, so might as well stick with Bauers.  Much better D too.

What are folks thinking on Myers? I like that he doesn't walk guys. He pitches to contact. Lately, he seems to have really good command within the zone as well.

Yet, his FIP is above 5, and it doesn't really seem like guys struggle to square him up. Hard hit and line drive rates are right around league average.

He's neither a ground ball nor fly ball nor strikeout pitcher. There's definitely been a lot of luck involved in getting his ERA under 4, but can he be a decent back-end starter? Like, I don't know, Chris Narveson (4.31 career FIP)?

I can see a lot of possible variance for the guy, and that makes him kind of fun to watch.

Given the rotation options, he's fine.  He competes and doesn't go into nibble mode once he has two strikes.  His first time up is similar to Rodriguez in that they both were trying too hard.  He's calmed quite a bit of late.  I'm still anticipating the wheels coming off at some point but the org seems to get the most out of guys like him.

Keep adding on runs, guys. Two is not enough!

[kevinisaname]

Man, nailed that one, but right at the second baseman. Come on, Willy. Please.

Sigh.....

If I were the Angles I’d walk to Adames and pitch to Hoskins.

As you wish

[kevinisaname]

Only so many teams are going to fall for that.

[Bulldogboy]

Having to try to steal home when your big hitting 1b is up says it all.

Yeah but with Hoskins up, it made sense to try 

[Sixtolezcano]

Even Murphy is getting desperate with RISP.

[yourout]

For as good as they were with RISP for most of the early season they have been just as brutally bad lately.

Not in the third inning.

[kevinisaname]

Tobias is pitching well again (knock on wood).

[shanedog19]

Two home runs for Mitchell in Nashville tonight. Time to call him up.

[Brian]

Hoskins reminds me of Luke Voit.

[kevinisaname]

Man, Rhys looks awful.

[Brian]

Sanchez smoked that one.

[kevinisaname]

JACKSON! KEEP THAT KID IN THE LINEUP!

[Brian]

Wow that was impressive.

[82brewcrew82]

Exciting!!!!!
