When is Cruz back? He was tearing up on lefties
That sucked
Brutal time for the bats to go cold. They miss O’Hearn already
Call me crazy, but I believe we can win tomorrow, sweep the Mets and take at least 2 of 3 from the Marlins, that’ll put us back in contention for the WC spot.

skenes is a bumb
Garcia is not a MLB hitter. Now 3 straight ABs dating back to his last start where he has struck out on 3 pitches. Just unacceptable
get someone warming up
Guys looks lost at the plate at the top of the inning, Skenes walks the opening batter on 4 pitches. It’s been a fun ride this season boys lol
This feels like a 2-1 game
skenes will allow 5 at least per usual.
I was going to say something about Endy having bad splits vs LHP and it makes no sense to not have Henry there, but then I checked Henry’s and they’re just as bad
F ESPN
Not too excited about the lineup, but hope it works out 💪
Why does it feel like Paul and Henry broke up? Lmao
Let’s try this winning thing again!
Not sure I love Lowe in the 2 hole vs a lefty. But let’s ball
Oh! Endy behind the plate! 🤯
Endy roo catching him tonight. Interesting
No Davis catching Skenes tonight 😳
Skenes to spin a gem tonight, LGB!

Ben needs to claim Austin Hays!
Probably cuz he can’t reach 100 anymore
Skenes day!
I thought you were teasing us for a minute Jim until I looked it up
Happy ozuna day!

I know their seasons are about as bad as Ozuna’s, but overall and especially when we get a healthy team back how would you guys feel about picking up a Soler or Refsnyder to platoon against lefties? I’m on the fence

Take a shot. Austin Hays was also DFA’d today and is the best of all 3. Get it done GMBC
At this point I think I’d take any of the 3. Send Password back down and sign one of them. Not sure who you’d have to cut from the 40 man but get it done. We’ve seen the in house “improvements” not be successful for the bullpen so why would they be now?
I think they are hoping Simon can be the solution. Not sure Harrison is the lefty we can get back on track against 😂
Definitely in for a tough one tonight. Hoping we can see the heart of the order get their bats going again. Need to get rid of the injury bug ASAP and get healthy
I really hope our offense gets back on track, and we don’t need to take those risks. If we keep struggling then maybe we’ll desperately need to pick someone up.
That’s where I think I’m at too. Cruz was mashing lefties and KG can hit lefties too. If those guys can get back soon and the offense can get back on its feet that shouldn’t be necessary. However if it is it might be worth the shot. Maybe even worth it on a vet minimum until the guys are healthy?
Ozuna released! That sends a clear message, we’re looking for the best team available, regardless of money or anything else.

Skenes needs to step it up today and the bats need to wake up ! GO BUCS !!!
Not sure what we will get out of Skenes today. I am at a loss
yup.

weird feeling, not feeling excited for a skenes day.
Probably cuz he can’t reach 100 anymote
definitely a real concern.
Who get’s DFA’d Jim?
Big Skenes day needed.
ronny simon legacy game incoming
Can you imagine! He has 1 in him I know it
LGB!! We need Skenes back today, let’s get that W!
