If we have enough prospects left to trade for an ace to finish the season with, we will have a pretty good shot at the wild card.

Yordano also has to stop sucking, he was able to turn it around last year so there's hope (and he's had some really good starts this year)

I think Yordano can turn things around, but I've lost all faith in Young.

U don't need 5 solid starters to make the playoffs, but u do need 4

We're not buyers or sellers, we're stay right where we're at'rs.  We have the talent to make the playoffs but Alex has to stop sucking

agreed. if we can find 1 serviceable SP for cheap I'd take it

Do we even have anything to give up for a SP?

It would completely handicap our already weak farm system.

Yea I think we just have to plug Gee into the 5th spot and hope our 4 other guys can play to their potential.

we aren't making the playoffs with this pitching and hitting and team.

Dayton won't sell regardless, but he should.

Did you guys not read my post about how easy August and September are?  Making a decision at the end of July is the same as making one today.

my guess is he'll restructure gordon's contract through 2025 and resign chris young

i don't want to sell either, primarily because the market value for our players isn't there and secondly because i like this group (for the most part).  we just need to be more realistic with our expectations.  head into next season with the core of the team and find better pitching in the offseason. 

there are at least 2 pitchers on this roster that don't need to be here anymore

it'd be great if we could get both a hit and a walk today.  i've got my fingers crossed and my thought and prayers prepared.
