Should be able to pick up a closer before spring training next season. I had hope for Lovelady but he doesn’t have it. Moore is usually pretty good at putting together a bullpen. He just needs to let Holland & Davis go.

Should be a big crowd tonight with Salvy going for the record, great weather, and it's Buck Night. Wish I could be there.

I’d had enough. The error, the first pitch weak groundout to 1B, then the meek popout.

Dozier got booed by a LOT of fans when he swung at 3 straight curveballs in the dirt. I wasn’t one, but he did deserve it too.

so Singer was scratched from today's start?

Moved to the DL

Duncan, PB, et.al., what the deal with this Heasley guy?

2018 draft guy. He’s been really productive through the minors. Doesn’t have the pure stuff of the higher ranked guys but throws strikes and mixes pitches well. Has been dominant at AA this year.

Awesome. Excited to watch him. TY

Nicky is legit!

Salvy adding to his personal best for walks in a single season.

One of the least inspiring at bats I have seen in a while from MAT right there.

Salvy wearing the golden sombrero tonight.

Needs a day off.

Or at least a day off from catching. Assume Matheny will DH him tomorrow for the early afternoon game.

And have a doubleheader on Monday

Yup. It’s the last home game for a while and he’s going for the single season HR record, so I imagine Matheny will have him playing. Will probably just DH him.

I’d give him the day off Monday as well to let him finish the last week strong and with fresh legs. Would like to see him take Soler’s record, if possible.
