What a collision there by Rickie Weeks and Brett Gardner.. and it's all Weeks and Kevin Cash's fault.. he's a 2nd baseman/outfielder, not a 1B...regardless, it could be a blow to the Rays, especially considering Gillaspie isn't MLB ready and LoMo is a platoon bat at best.

Should also point out that an error by X. Cedeno didn't help.. Yanks now lead 6-3. Why is it they play so well at the Trop and yet are getting destroyed at Yankee Stadium? Adjustments?

Ausmus doesn't seem particularly interested in using Joe Jimenez. For a team with chronic bullpen issues, they're really fighting off help every step of the way.

3 days in a row he hasn't used him in close games. Eyeroll. He's probably their best reliever just by default.

John "Trial by Fire" Gibbons probably would have used him in all three!

Shockingly, the Tigers bullpen is even worse than the Jays. At least we have ONE good reliever.

He used Ryan in the 7th today, then had Alex Wilson throw almost 40 pitches to finish the last two innings. With KRod unavailable, there was no reason not to give the kid the 7th today.

Gillaspie is probably ready enough. Ideally he'd get 1/2 season more in AAA first, but he has spent ~1/2 year there already with very good results. He's probably an upgrade right now, straight up.

The Rays can't afford to burn any service time on legit prospects and they won't want to make him a Super 2 guy. I'd be very surprised if they called him up this early.

Yeah, I don't think they will either. I was responding to the part about him not being ready, not whether it makes financial sense for them.

 

Maybe they'd like some Smoak in their lives for a little while :)

Why is Matheny not removing Leake here? 2 on, 2 out, 7th inning and a 3-run lead.

 

Because he's one of the worst managers in baseball.

PHILADELPHIA — Even with centerfielder Juan Lagares just days away from returning to action, Mets officials are thinking about keeping a spot on the bench for Michael Conforto, who started for just the second time this season in Wednesday’s series finale against the Phillies.

Apparently the Tigers are converting Gose into a pitcher. Not sure if that was posted before and I missed it or not.

 

Relief pitcher and pinch runner from a bullpen spot

I f***ing despise the Mets.

Is that the plan? Wow that would be pretty neat. And emergency help in the OF. They could go with an 8-man bullpen pretty easily in this event.

The plan is to see if he can pitch, bro. Any decisions after that will be gravy.
