So... everybody sucked.  

Including Schlereth.

I don't see Albert O as a big, physical, blocking WR.  

Nope, got Albert O mixed up with OZ.  My bad.

NBD.  Three players on the team I really struggle with their names, Marlon T, OZ and now Albert O.  But OZ actually blocks well for his size.  With Devonta Smith to mentor on that, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised but then there is Ngata that certainly has the size to block and did a bad job of it.  The good news for Albert O is that Stout works with the TEs on blocking.

I hear ya... but his size is 5'8".   

It would be nice for Castro to do something positive at the plate.

I thought the knock on him was his blocking?

I like it in theory though…

Not talking traditional in-line blocking but rather blocking off the line.  Pretty good at that. Don’t base everything on one post on the internet.  Hell, Calcaterra isn’t good at in line blocking but was pretty good off line. A big part of off line blocking is getting and staying in the way and not engaging before the pass is thrown or engaging the player(s) in your area on the run.  Some chip blocking.

Yeah. Sam and DE might as well be lumped together here. 

And light DT.

Edmundo > Rodolfo

Wilson has played 3rd base as well... so even keeping him around would have made me happier than Castro.   Wilson has a power bat from the right side... 3rd base option as well as OF gives you some options.  And Sosa can play the rest of the IF spots.  

 

Public service announcement:  Don't walk the tying run to get to Alec Bohm.   That is all.

I've heard mixed things about his blocking.  Who is he blocking?  Is he blocking DL from a inline TE position?  Is he split out and blocking a DB or LB?

Wouldn't be shocked to see Marsh come in to bat for Rojas.

That baseball team is hitting baseballs all over the place.

Its another good day to be talking about the baseball!

LOVE IT!!!

 

If Rojas ever learns how to really bunt, he'll be special.

Now the baseball guys are bunting the baseball to score more baseball runs!

Trea TURNER!!!   Philly's favorite!

Phillies hit for the cycle in this inning.

Bohm - HR, Turner - 3B, Realmuto - 2B, Stott/Castellanos - 1B.

Bring him home Morey.

 

 

 

 

Kruk reads the EMB!   

WIP has been fairly despicable over the years but that host starting the standing O idea for Turner looks to have been a brilliant move.

 Castro was this bad when he got sent to the minors this year. He really was good for 10 days in April then been a disaster. At least roster expansion come later this week. Suarez is expected back for Sunday and pache soon after that.

Yup.  Bring Wilson back... the interesting thing will be how they will build the playoff roster.   Maybe keep Covey off the roster, and keep an extra position player.
