Any thoughts 2016's Rule 5 draft surprise could repeat his charmed year went out the window. Though desperately needing a starter, looks like he's not going to fit the bill.

While Mickey & Goofy celebrated in the 4th inning that maybe after leaving 7 on-base in the first 3, that he'd be a real Genie to strand the 2 they were looking at. The three run HR occurred in the next breath, and now losing 7 of 9 -- Boston up next!

What a treat to listen to Orel Hershizer on the Dodger game that followed. Even without Vin in the booth, there's announcers that are full of game insights and meaningful analysis. Mickey & Goofy are the epitome of laziness and redundancy, not content with just repeating each other's stereotypical clichés, but offering little more than reading the media guide from cover to cover, and reciting the 60 pages given to them before every game by the teams' PR staff.

Without the words "that" and "just a little bit" Tabler would be silent half the time - a great idea!
