Brian king as a leverage guy is dumb. Joe Espada the manager of the year fellas. 
such a dumb and lazy take. Dubin needs to be back and Sousa needs to be the 3rd leverage guy and dubin the 4th. King should never pitch up in a tight game. 
this is becoming Taylor Scott like. The first half of each season for them was found money. That’s not who either guy is.

I'm coming around to the idea that Caratini needs more ABs and Diaz fewer. And I say that having once thought Diaz was a pretty special hitting talent for a catcher. 

Yep. You just can't have guys with sub .300 OBP in your lineup, and Espada loves batting ours back to back. Obviously, this season it will never happen, but replacing Diaz and Walker with Caratini and Paredes would do wonders for this lineup. I'd resign Caratini in the offseason and look to trade Diaz. Walker is another sunk cost experiment at 1B.

Damn right, been saying this.   He's been good but not the guy you want pitching when it's tight in our favor.   He's the guy you pitch when its close and we are down.

it got away from him, it happens 
3.04 / 1.16 whip, he's having a good year 
 
win the series tomorrow 
3.17 era for a RP who pitches one inning in high leverage situations is not fucking good

walker has very good numbers the past 30 days 

situational hitting has been lacking 

He's hitting .194 on this road trip. It's kinda funny, because in the 3 wins on this trip he is a combined 1-14. At least he's only struck out 7 times in his 35 PAs.

Especially when it was a guy that carries a .658 OPS against left handed pitching that took him deep.

I hope we are still in the 1st place after today. I don't feel good about it.

even if it's not today, with the upcoming home series vs BOS while the Mariners get a road trip @ BAL, we will be looking up in the standings by Wed or Thurs.

Looks like opponents forgot to throw him high heaters. Works as well as a foot-outside slider to Diaz.

I would selfishly like to be in first (even if it's via a mariners loss as well) for tomorrows game. Gonna be an electric atmosphere.

The opposing scouting report has to be so easy for this team. You have to focus on throwing strikes to like 2 hitters on this team, and one of those guys in currently injured.
