He did reach back for 99.6 on one pitch.

Hopefully he's just ramping things up still.
I think he is the biggest hole for sure.
Christian Benford has looked good and Dorian Williams was flying around on Sunday. Philips, Settle and Ford haven't shown the ability to replace Jones.
It would be huge if DaQuan Jones could somehow make it back for the playoffs.
I have an almost 10 year old phone and no data plan. I went twice to the Rogers Centre this year and had to use the phone of people I was with to get in.
I've made it this far without ever having a data plan but it is becoming just too inconvenient. So it will basically be yet another mandatory monthly fee.
Yeah hopefully the offseason will help with the wrist issue.
Meaning that maybe he won't be able to double-fist a dozen donuts and he'll have to slowly eat them with only one hand!
I didn't realize how bizarre Josh Donaldson's season has been.

You might think he's having a pretty good season. But he has a 0.076(!!!) BABIP. Yet he has a barrel rate pushing 20%.
Just crazy stuff. Overall it makes for a 75 wRC+
He pitched in the minors for his first 4 starts. It had been quite a long time since his last major league action so 4 starts down in the Japan Eastern League seems reasonable.
The team playing like there's a weight off its back lol
For everyone involved, sending Manoah down was the right thing to do. Personally, I am interested in what Manoah could look like if he is willing to lean into the pitching lab side of things.
