Why are we still pretending Paul Blackburn is a major league pitcher?

Need a top of the rotation guy for the post All-star game. Would like to see Alvarez back, and in his rookie form. The offensive production from the spot has been inadequate. Thought that the bottom of the order guy should have bunted over Taylor before hitting into a DP. Lindor needs a blow every so often as do the other regular players. I can live well without the All Star game, no comparison to what I viewed in the 60's!

Not sure that any available starters are top of the rotation guys and the price might be prohibitive. I also don't plan on watching the all-star game. Naming the rookie Misiorowski after 25 innings pitched renders the thing a clown show. The Phils have a legit beef about their guys not being named.

"After lining an opposite-field single, he then stole second base—a feat made easier after the Mets had just pinch-hit for Luis Torrens. Hayden Senger did not come close to throwing him out at 2nd base". I don't get it. Senger's throwing arm is unsurpassed. The runner had a tremendous jump and it's on Manea for not holding him closer.

On a day that Taylor and Vientos went a combined 4 for 7, you'd think the team would be able to score more than 2 runs, but the big 3, Lindor, Soto, and Pete countered with a combined 0-10 to lay the 1st half to rest. Looking for the boys to come charging out for th 2nd half. ⚾️

Justin,

I totally agree that Holmes to set-up role is necessary. He has been less dominant the past few weeks and is heading into fatigue/injury territory.

I would love to see one of the young guys get a look soon, especially Jonah Tong, although I agree they need to get a playoff caliber SP before the deadline.
