You can't fight in here - this is the War Room!

For the Younguns-

 

Probably the greatest comedy ever--by a director not known for comedy.  Peter Sellers with perhaps the best acting performance of all-time playing 3 main-ish characters.

When watching this movie, think about watching this movie IN 1964...

[jason21nl]

And away we go

[yourout]

That didn't take long

[adambr2]

We really have to stop sucking against the A's.

[wibadgers23]

How is Oakland's bullpen?  I don't see us doing much of anything against Sears.

Might not matter if Civale doesn’t stop throwing BP

I'm sure Ashby will be up and pitching very average real soon.

Ashby is one of 3-4 arms in  Nashville I would welcome to replace Mears 

His fastball has no movement & is very hittable

[jason21nl]

His misses aren’t even close

[adambr2]

We're going to need a lot of luck today. Civale looks like a poor man's Jeff Suppan out there.

Are you suggesting they DFA Mears?  Or just hoping for an imaginary injury?

[folly412]

That "only team not to lose 4 in a row" statistic is about to go away this weekend, isn't it?

Hook: "What the hell is the matter with you"

[edfunderburk]

What an awful start for Civale

[jason21nl]

For whatever reason I haven’t watched Civale pitch.  I can’t stand watching him

Decent chance of it.

I will wait till the 7th to make that call.

He's been DFAed twice in his career already.  It's not like it would be a shocking move.

7th of tomorrow's game, preferably.

Given the bullpen options, I wouldn't be sad if they have to DFA.  Not sure how many phantom IL players can be stocked before MLB gets annoyed, but Wilson would be higher on my list for one of those.

Sanchez can hit some rockets.

[yourout]

fully expected that rocket from Sanchez's bat to be a double play.

[yourout]

Hoskins is missing everything right now.
