According to Tags on twitter. White has a knee issue, Gomez is sick, Marwin is dealing with something at home and Kemp is at the dentist.

Sparkie just said that Kemp is available today and may be the only player available to play the field.

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #5 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:12:06 pm »

After 4 still scoreless. Quiet in here today.

Got too much of the plate with that pitch. Dang

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:21:26 pm »

Hard to be perfect. However, what hurts is that little pissant Odor scored the run.

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:26:04 pm »

No kidding, that guy is a piece of work.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #10 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:40:26 pm »

What made it worse is that Odor doesn't even get on if Rasmus is in LF instead of that statue, Tucker.

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2016, 02:42:26 pm »

He's got his feet stuck in the mud it looks like. Come on boys get this kid some runs behind him, he deserves a win.

There's Mike Scott again blowing his 82 mph fastball by the Mets.

With Gomez at least you get some defense amd some speed. With Tucker you get zero.

Okay, genius. Maybe the simplest explanation for Luhnow's inaction is that the team was too far away even with a move or two. I could buy that. We've got more prospects than we have spots for them on the 25 man roster.

I'm putting it all on the offense. When you don't score but a run or two there is always some pitcher to blame for giving up a run.
This offense is not ready for prime time.

Please. In a 1-0 game, BBand HBP are inexcusable.

BizidyDizidy · « **Reply #40 on:** August 07, 2016, 03:59:31 pm »

Hard to argue with the Kemp PH, but not clear Gattis can catch Giles.

austro · « **Reply #41 on:** August 07, 2016, 04:00:00 pm »

Giles mercifully trying to make sure that this isn't another 1-run loss.

Out of the 5 outs Giles got, 6 were strikeouts. Don't see that too often

Not sure , but it wouldn't have mattered. Springer would have been an easy out at first.

BizidyDizidy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 07, 2016, 04:20:58 pm »

Giles joins the club as the 72nd person to have 4 strikeouts in an inning.

hostros7 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2016, 04:21:05 pm »

Kemp can play left. No interest in ever seeing Tucker out there again.
