Evans needs to be on his game tonight. Hopefully Naylor is back in the lineup, I'm tired of Solano taking ABs.

TLO wasn't following the game last night, had a very important golf match to attend.

He was great his rookie year too. Bizarre.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Sat Aug 09, 2025 4:10 pmWhat's the deal with Boyle? His WHIP was 1.72 last year in 48 innings mostly as a starter for the A's, who were playing in a pitcher's park. But for the Rays, who play in a hitter's park, his WHIP is 0.88 so far this season.
