Manfred can’t just decide to do it randomly, the players union has to agree to it. They denied it in the latest CBA agreement however, there is a clause that Manfred can implement new rules and roboumps next year.
My bad, I shouldn’t have said anything. Just saw Tapia hitting 5th in the lineup today and then remembered how good Bird looked in spring and thought about how i’d much rather see his name in that spot.
Technically Chapman AND Springer since he’s DH.
Yeah this is mind boggling for game 7 of the season against THE division rival.
Hoping Tapia hits 2 dingers tonight to prove us wrong.
Guarantee this was a rest day scheduled before the season started. Except they couldn’t have forseen we would have 2 major injuries right now.
Which is why I say scheduled rest days are dumb. This is a weak lineup we’re fielding against the Yankees in game # 7
Scheduled rest days are f***ing dumb. Its the beginning of the season. We’re competing for the division against the team tonight. Rest the guys tomorrow.
