I believe they’ve decided to sell Skubal already—because if they were actually trying to go for it and compete for a playoff spot and World Series, they’d bite the bullet and call Clark and Anderson up.  Can’t keep running McKinstry, Vierling and Outman out there most every day and claim you’re going all in.

Whatever requires the least amount of risk is how they will go. I'm guessing they will try to middle it.

So at least we have Montero tonight. Which is good.

But I no longer believe this team, as presently constituted, can do very much to justify not trying to get a huge haul for Skubal.

And I don’t particularly care if it’s a haul that will help us for the rest of this season or in the future.

Various players that were miraculous contributors in the past simply can’t be expected to be founts of miracles again. Carp, Meadows, Matty, McKinstry… etc.

And whatever contract AJ made with the devil two years ago at the deadline, the dark one says this contract has expired.

And hoping that aging, returning players coming back from injuries like Baez and Torres are going to put us over the top, and that a mixture of luck and analytics will lead us out of the mire - again  - is asking for more than reality can bear. 

I wish this team the best of luck and I’m gonna follow it, but I think we’ve already seen the best days and more best days are only in the future.

If they move Skubal they go 35-15 post deadline.   Add Torres and we're still ok.   Add Mize and drop to 30-20.

Jemai Jones hitting as soon as he puts on a different uniform crushes me.  It tells me something was not quite right in our hitting prep.  Maybe change of scenery was all he needed but I dunno man.

Watching Dylan Smith’s numbers with the Giants in the exact relief role that we need badly is what really peeves me.

I don’t know why they had to interview Gunnar Henderson and ask him how great he thinks Kevin is. Is it because they were both high draft picks or something? Since when are opposing players expected to laud players on the other team?
