We should counter by calling up Simeon Woods-Richardson.

Yes, we should counter the Padres counter of the Jays calling up Pearson.

Pearson was a counter to instant ace Chris Paddack last year

Shane Bieber gets two more Ks in the first to continue his torrid pace. However, along the way he encountered potentially now elite hitter Nick Castellanos who hit a bomb to CF. That was Bieber's first run given up.

Update: Bieber strikes out the side in the second.

we dropped Moran?

 

Do we even have a lefty out of the pen

Addition by subtraction.

 

Where's Thomas Pannone at?

Anthony Kay and Ryan Borucki are technically in the BP, both are LR / depth starter types.

Marlins = Bad News Bears

Trout homers in his first AB since returning

... Like a dad boss

[G-Snarls]

He has 70-grade speed and probably a 70 arm in the OF. It's painful watching him toil away at DH when he's probably a 5-win RF if he commits to it full time.

Maddon believes that Ohtani can return to two-way status in 2021, especially with a normal offseason of rest and a regular Spring Training.

 

“From what I've seen, I believe that he can,” Maddon said. “We just got to get past the arm maladies and figure that out."

I have to believe there were commitments re: usage (pitching and hitting) in his original agreement that the Angels have to fulfill (unless they can get his buy in to scrap the pitching).

[Boxcar]

We can safely assume his tendons are barely intact. Montoya will do the rest

 

Remember last month a lot of folks here were on the Giles extension bandwagon

 

Well, thank god he got injured so you could declare yourself correct

Jesus Christ...

I didn't get involved in last month's discussion of extending Giles, FYI

 

Stop obsessing over my every post.

Such a revelation

[Jimcanuck]

Alex Reyes getting the call up. Will this guy finally get it going, at 25?

Juan Soto is back in the Nats' lineup tonight.

I don't think I've ever seen a 2-seamer with that much run.

Juan Soto is back in the Nats' lineup tonight.

 

First AB he goes opposite field for an RBI double on an outside offspeed pitch. He's such a great hitter.

And now he just made an excellent catch. What an exciting player. He did land super awkwardly though so hopefully he's not hurt.

Welp, Juan Soto might have injured his wrist or arm on the diving catch. He's probably out of the game too. Fun couple of innings for Nats fans and baseball fans alike.

 

Edit: he's back out there

That guy’s ultra competitive. His wrist might have to break right off to take him out of the lineup again. He was probably foaming at the mouth watching Bonifacio play in his place.
