  3. Do they use Gallagher for certain pitchers? Only reason I can think of because I think everyone can see bo deserves much more playing time

  4. This might be the last game I attend at Progressive Field with my favorite Guardian in our uniform

  5. Just gonna say that a win before the all star break would be nice. That’s just me though.

  10. Lmao anyone else catch Gallagher pointing to first right before Bieber threw over? That was awesome.

  14. Tito told Hammy on the pregame show the pitching rotation coming out of the ASG break: Civale, Williams, Bibee, Bieber, TBA. TBA to keep a bullpen pitcher as Quantrill’s replacement until a starter is needed.

  15. Pitcher that tries to get hitters to chase vs hitters that have no plate discipline= bad matchup

  18. We gotta trade for Fermin just so he stops dominating against us holy smokes

  24. Ah soft tossing lefty? AND he’s got a wonky delivery? It’s like a pitcher created in a lab specifically to kill this team.

  27. Am I missing something with this game? It’s blacked out for me in Cincinnati on MLB TV, but I have been able to watch everything else here. It doesn’t look like it’s being broadcast anywhere else I can watch

  28. Should be trying to go the other way against Yarbrough exclusively the first time through. Only way to stay on the ball.
