  1. Wins are always nice, just wish we could’ve spread out some of the runs when we needed them the past 7-10 games

  2. Lol. Highlight of the night was Cole on the post game show with a Chappelle show reference. Kansas City, home of grits n gravy

  3. Shota didn’t have his best stuff, but kept the team in the game. Merryweather still on his way back from injury, so I’m not going to rag on him. Especially when the bench players came up big to bail him out. PCA triple. Seiya continues to rake. Dansby and Morel with hits and solid defense. Craigh wearing the full uni. Great all-around game. Fun to watch. FTH.

  4. If you’d told me when he signed that Imanaga would be 9-2 with a 2.95 ERA going into August I’d have been overjoyed. Even with his struggles he’s been a real bright spot.

  5. Finally a pinch hitter move made by Counsell pays off. The starting pitching has been solid most of the season but the offense continues to be on life support and barely has a pulse
