Good article on J Ram. Only 23...24 next month...seems like he would be older as he was originally called up in 2013. It's been fun to watch him breakout this season.

If he listed as 23 and from the Dominican Republic, he is really about 27.

I believe so. Tough task ahead. Hamels vs Tomlin looks over on paper, but then we have Kluber and Carrasco. Sunday is anyone's guess with Salazar slated to start (I'd personally rather see Clevinger). I would be happy with 2-2 knowing we are missing Darvish and that our offense for 3 games has been non-existent.

this is a big concern, especially since 3/5 of our starting pitching is struggling

Came off a huge emotional series at home versus Toronto. 2 crazy walk off wins. Flew across the country and had to play in an empty, quiet football stadium. I'll reserve judgement on the offense until after Texas. I think they will be fine.

Tomlin/Salazar on the other hand...

Bauer gave up 3 runs, which is a solid outing all things considered.

If I was ever dumb enough to run for political office, I'd want you as my campaign manager-lol
