Lane Thomas is a solid ball player 

Here in lies the issue with MLB. I have no idea who that guy is.

Nor do I. 

They had him batting second today and he went 1-4.

I see him a decent bit…an Indians style guy (yeah I still don’t call them the Guardians)

Great against lefties and usable against righties. Runs well, defends well….he’s a 110-115 OPS+ guy

He’s scrappy and solid….I’d love for Reds to have him

Bolstering your lineup with a .250 hitter isn't your style.    LOL 

I dont give a shit about average. But his other stuff is above average, and he definitely improves this lineup. I am just not sure why he cost the team so much. Where they bidding against themselves?

Maybe this will reverse jinx it, but I am victory lapping already on Lane Thomas being an AWFUL trade. I legit cannot believe we had to part with as much as we did for a platoon guy without power. Vogt has been shit for a month+ now also.

Why did you say he was a good addition on July 30?

He was then, terrible now.

He was never worth what we gave up. And now they are trying to make him work because he was the big trade so we have to suffer thru him vs RHP. 

I mean trading for a platoon player is one thing. Trading for one without power, who hits the side you as a team are decent at, and giving up more than most teams did for less make it one of the worst trades I can recall.

I did like what I saw from Cobb tonight, though. Vogt continues to suck dong and didn’t pull him when he should’ve with a completely rested best-in-the-bigs bullpen…

Well this has turned into a real sh#t show.

This Front Office should not survive. Although, the man firing them is probably the real reason for this roster manipulation. 

Manzardo at least is justified by 2 days from getting an extra year. Valera is out of fucking options...we just gonna cut him without seeing if he can hit anything but ST pitching?

I was dreading this day’s arrival. 

Not great.

"Golf clap"

That was a big comeback win today!

I'm 100% back invested, baby!

What was looking like a sh#t show has rebounded pretty decently. Still a ways to go.

Lane Thomas has 4 RBI on two infield singles today. How often does that happen?
