Well looks as though we have Kim as the full time SS and Grisham the primary CF (with maybe Myers sprinkled in).

May have a very stable line-up for the rest of the season with Drury the primary DH and Bell at 1B. Mazara and Batten may be lost souls except for rest games for a starter.

Note Gallagher is with the club on the “taxi squad” in case Alfaro needed to go IL … interesting it is not Campusano.

Well Kim with an RBI knock and Grish #14 3 run blast... WNT...(aka Who Needs Tatis)

We got Miami + Nats and SF ... cant complain

Saw a note on Peacock where we have the easiest schedule in August and the 3rd hardest in Sept

Brewers have 7 vs LAD

Miami is better than the Rox,Reds,Pirates and Cubs.

Their Starters alone make them tough.

It is what it is….just putting it out there.

Look at Miamis Home record and look at Rockies home record... Rockies are a very good team at Coors..and Miami is one of the worst (if not the worst) team at Home

Very quietly Trent Grisham just tied his career high in HR's for a season over the weekend with another 200+ PAs to go or so...

I have looked...Cardinals are at Home against the Rox...not Coors.

I've also looked at the 3 arms they are tossing at us.

We need all 3 of our Starters to dominate...which they should.Worried about Manaea though of course.

Glad our offense has been improved...but Alcantara is not known for giving up more than 1 or 2 runs.

Pitchers duel tonight?

A number of ways to spin the following but consider the slash lines for SD vs. previous team for:

Soto: 326/463/512 vs 248/408/485 ... clearly as advertised

Bell:140/288/163 vs 301/384/493 ... a real head scratcher given his career

Drury: 200/280/444 vs 274/335/520 ... if it were not for the three high profile HR a disaster

Basically 43-45 AB with SD so ... small sample size and we should expect a hot streak for Bell / Drury to approach their "norm" (good) OR the change of teams / ballparks had enough impact to depress their performance for the rest of the season which is also short (bad).

Added pressure on Melvin ... playing the under performing deadline adds or start selectively re-inserting Myers (been hot as a PH) and Mazara? It is about winning NOW and not the past or future of the individuals.

Not doing well for the FA of Bell or Drury.
