    There is a slight edge towards stuff for the closer versus other spots. Batters tend to be more patient and force pitchers to throw strikes more in the 9th. As such, being able to throw something nasty in the zone is usually prefereable for closers.

    Ballpark App trick is legit.

    Bought 3 $20 seats and when upgrades opened the morning of the game (7am), I upgraded all 3 seats to 10th row behind 1st base for $63 each ($149 retail)

    I saved at least $200

    No. Just a light hearted comment at my own expense.

    I don’t think Dusty has any idea why Brown has Salazar on the roster

    In any case

    Playing Julks over Meyers and Salazar over Diaz is just terrible. Come on Dusty. Come on.

    I would like to see Tucker start hitting balls outta the park a little more frequently. He definitely has the ability. He is underperforming with a pace of 21 Home runs this season. Would be nice if he went on a tear.

    He is cheating in some way. Maybe he sold his soul.
    I'm sure he will eventually and get that OPS up. Below .800 is not good for him.

    I understand wanting Meyers over Julks. On Salazar, I'm not convinced he's the third worst catcher on the roster.

    He's not going to get paid with how's he's playing.

    Unfortunately performance "potential" outweighs performance history when it comes to handing out FA contracts.

    You already responded to this once. Like I said, you either misread my post or you decided to add your own words and thoughts to it.

    I agree, it’s odd.

    Y'all can't possibly be upset that Dusty suddenly remembered that Cesar Salazar exists.
