Skubal pulled at 77 pitches through 5.

[sabretooth]

How does Harold factor into that play?

They better not be protecting him for another team.

[Nerb]

The only way Skubal comes out in that situation is injury or trade. What the hell.

Willi is playing SS.

Maybe they are going to try to showcase some relievers here. If that’s the case, then I’m thinking Jimenez in the seventh, Chafin in the eighth, Soto in the ninth.

[SoCalTiger]

I saw him rotating his arm a bit last inning. My guess is injury precaution.

my bad, that was Schoop. I thought by the body style it was Harold, who is at 1b of course. Harold does go to sleep on plays though.....

And there’s Joe in the bullpen warming up for the seventh …

they were shifted to the left side. It was the 2b walking away with his back to the runner.

We’re going to see both Fulmer and Chafin tonight, I suspect. Last chance for a pre-deadline audition.  

[chasfh]

Do we still want to run Baddoo out there every day?

It was worth a shot...try someone else.

I don’t think we see both of them because they’ll want to give Soto a chance to pitch a clean ninth to impress the potential adopting parents.

Call Derek Hill up (too soon?)

[Nerb]

Saw on twitter Skubal's velocity was sitting 92-93 in the fifth. Not looking good imo 😕

baddoo is done.  should be in double a.

[kdog]

No trade...might be worse.. an injury.

He might slip through waivers and stick around, but he’s organizational soldier material at this point.

Wouldn’t it be a gas to see Tampa claim him, though?

[Tenacious D]

It does seem odd to pull Skubal there.  Pitching a shutout, close game, relatively low pitch count.  If it was to audition relievers, why bring in Vest?  I’d be surprised if he were to move.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Greene with yet another diving catch.
