Maybe guys like Romano/Bass/Garcia want an inning to keep fresh? If so, you let them. Day off Thursday. Games Friday Saturday MAYBE Sunday. They can go 3 in a row I think. Then you’ll have off days on the Monday and the Wednesday.
Yeah probably makes sense to have extra position players. Some pinch runners and maybe 3rd catcher so we can sub Kirk out if he gets on base? Maybe Gurriel on the bench as a pinch hit option
I think we might need Espinal just in case as a SS backup. Stick him at the bottom of the lineup if Bo gets injured. Maybe Lopez fills that role better, idk much about his D.
Interesting stat I just uncovered:
Berrios has given up at least 1 earned run in EVERY single start going all the way back to mid-May. YIKES.
The last time Berrios gave up 0 runs? He pitched 7 shutout innings vs the Mariners.
Exact same as me dude. Couldn’t bring myself to go to game 5 after sitting through that brutal 14 inning loss in game 2. I made a pretty penny selling the tix though so it wasn’t so bad
Neither probably see any playoff innings.

We’ve just played the Rays so much recently that im over it. I love the M’s. Would be a much better series IMO and I wouldn’t even be angry if they beat us.
If we play the Rays and lose i’ll be f***ing heated all winter
