@iansutliff23 @azfreedman @SonjaMChen Nice. Thank you!

@JeffSpiegel Looks like a tired guy that may be missing spots due to possibly having to work harder to keep velocity up and ends up missing his spots due to more focus being spent on fighting through fatigue rather than a fresher arm just focused on location and execution.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@JeffSpiegel I think Wrobo is hitting a wall with the innings pitched. Decisions would be easier if the offense wasn’t sputtering, but giving Knack a chance can’t hurt at this point, even if he can just give15-17 outs and save the pen. At this point Wrobo is straining the pen and losing.

@JeffSpiegel Good timing with Skubal coming over, Snell back and hopefully Glasnow a couple of weeks away.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@scottgeirman If they don’t win tomorrow, they should consider throwing Skubal on Sunday. The can’t afford to get swept by Arizona, winning one game of three is a two game swing in the standings for them.

@CoachBerokoff @Dodgers That’s cool, I can see that, should’ve been worded better. But it can be viewed as disrespectful to his new team, would be interesting to know how his teammates feel. Either way, the Tigers aren’t going to pay him. They took him to arb, they offered 19 to his 32 mil. Cheap.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@CoachBerokoff @Dodgers Curios, from a coaches viewpoint what did you think about Skubal comments?

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@CoachBerokoff @Dodgers I hope Mookie would be willing. I can’t believe he got old already, I think the wear and tear of short is zapping him. There was talk of Abram’s possibly being available, if Betts bounces back, it’s like adding another bat because he isn’t giving us anything right now.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@CoachBerokoff @Dodgers I love Teo! But…I think he needs to go and give a shot to Tibbs or DePaula. Pages stays, Tucker is stuck here with the 60 million. Freddie stays, so does Smith and Muncy. Move Betts to second and see if his offense bounces back. See if CJ Abram’s is available. What do u think?

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@CoachBerokoff @Dodgers This offense needs a boost. I really wanted Arraez at the deadline. Regardless of how this season ends, it seems that the offense will need a refresh. They need some youth infused.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@Howard_Cole @PensiveJustin If you had to pick one that you think will be a true star, which one do you choose?

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@rotchurts @TheKevinDalton 4 shots (albeit unacceptable) in a parking lot is not a mass shooting.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@Howard_Cole Is it still the rule that if a player is acquired via wavier prior to the end of August is still eligible for the playoff roster?

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@JeffSpiegel Some of that might depend on their confidence level with Will Smith being able to come back and stay back. Maybe confidence is low since they acquired two catchers?

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@DodgersTailgate If they want to keep leading the division they better start scoring consistently again.

[Mike Nielson @TeamBlue43]

@JeffSpiegel Man, no kidding! Hitting edges and corners with power. Throw Yamamoto and Snell after him, devastating!
