Nothing that really stands out, which is obviously a good thing. I’ve missed watching some of the past several days, but from what I’ve seen, he looks like a huge acquisition. There was a big hole at 2B, so this seems to be great news.I have not seen a game yet but Chavis is really making an impact at the plate...how's his glove at 2b?
I don’t see how it would work with Kimbrell, financially, though. In a perfect world, he’d come back for a reasonable price, and they could sort out the middle/later inning relievers by adding another option to the mix.i cant believe kimbrel is still available.
kimbrell must be getting bad advice from his agent. or he is an idiot. he clearly is not getting what he was looking for. i read it was 6 years lmao. keep dreaming.I don’t see how it would work with Kimbrell, financially, though.

They seem to be leaving the starters in too long, which happened both yesterday and today, after both Sale and ERod had pitched gems. They both finished close to 110 pitches, with terrible last innings. That tells me that they recognize the weakness with the middle relievers and are pushing the starting rotation too hard. That’s a shame, because the starters have really looked good lately, even with Eovaldi on the DL.
Oh my god. Alex Cora did it again by bringing Porcello back for the 8th inning, last night. What the hell is going on with this? Why do they feel like 6-7 inning starts with minimal runs allowed aren’t good enough?They seem to be leaving the starters in too long, which happened both yesterday and today, after both Sale and ERod had pitched gems.

I was there, with my brother.What the actual eff? Please, someone tell me that they’re experiencing this game, tonight.
This Lakins dude needs to find a different career path, and I can’t believe that Cora allowed this to happen. He did a terrible job of managing today.
They’ve got to try and shake that off tonight before heading to NY for an important 4 game series. Last night’s game is the kind that has the potential to haunt them for awhile, if not change the season entirely.I was there, with my brother.
The kid (is he related to Dan Plesac?) pitched a gem. But Tito was owning us all night. Getting picked off to end a threat after he almost did before was ugly.
I thought Cora should have kept Workman in there. Can't afford to waste a masterpiece by David, and clutch hits and plays leading up to the eighth. We needed six outs. By the time we got one, the lead was gone.
It seemed painfully obvious they should have postponed to a twinight double-header today. All was well until the eighth.They’ve got to try and shake that off tonight before heading to NY for an important 4 game series.

Maybe I’m just being dramatic, but I don’t like the vibes that I was getting in those late innings, especially heading to NY tomorrow.
As predicted, the late inning meltdown has led to 3 straight sloppy losses. They’re now 8.5 games behind with two more tough games in NY.They’ve got to try and shake that off tonight before heading to NY for an important 4 game series.

OK first priority is to determine what needs to be done to help the team.As predicted, the late inning meltdown has led to 3 straight sloppy losses. They’re now 8.5 games behind with two more tough games in NY.
Even if they split tonight/tomorrow, they’ll still be almost 10 back heading into June. That’s not a good sign. This past week has been a disaster.
I think they need a quality arm, whether that be a starter (kind of a pipe dream), or more realistically, a reliever. Something. Someone who can throw the damn ball.OK first priority is to determine what needs to be done to help the team.
I think that some relatively minor adjustments, maybe getting some bullpen help, can be enough to get the team going.
We need consistency, and right now we seem tired and a little dejected.
It's only June.
Must hang on to finish the deal tonight.I think they need a quality arm, whether that be a starter (kind of a pipe dream), or more realistically, a reliever. Something. Someone who can throw the damn ball.
Yes, it’s only June—and yet they’re almost 10 games back. That’s something I’m used to seeing here with the Pirates. Luckily, as you said, they’re still a good team and there’s time, but it’s not easy to come back from 10 out, either.
Bucs only 5 games out today.Yes, it’s only June—and yet they’re almost 10 games back. That’s something I’m used to seeing here with the Pirates.
They should be scouring the world for a good setup/closer type of guy...there's gotta be one somewhere out there, so we need to get him before someone else does.I think they need a quality arm, whether that be a starter (kind of a pipe dream), or more realistically, a reliever.

hopefully 8.5 in a little whileit’s not easy to come back from 10 out, either.
Cora is the key.so, 3 June...are we done? Nothing feels special about this team
