    Montoyo probably made Giles throw 20 pitches this morning just to be sure his elbow is hurt. Seriously though this is a huge loss to the pen. Romano looks good but the team will need more arms to turn into useful late inning guys.

    The PA and the league both suck. No sense putting more blame on one or the other. Equally bad for the sport. Adam Silver is the best example of a commish who has the game’s best interest in mind. Every other league lacks in that.

    Yup. In the Wild Card game, Osuna looked like he was willing to keep pitching through an injury, but Gibby immediately took him out. That was extra innings in an elimination playoff game. Montoyo doing this in the 3rd game of a truncated season is insanity. I mean it would be insanity regardless, but the timing makes it worse.

    The NBA has a much smaller amount of people, and didn't need to bring all the teams. A better comparison for MLB would be the NFL. If the NFL ends up in a bubble, then MLB really messed up, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

    The sad part about this for MLB is that the TV ratings were really good so far. Maybe it was just because nothing else was on, but people obviously missed baseball. Shutting down again would hurt the sport.

    The only way to trade Vlad is to build a time machine and trade him two years ago for Yelich when that's what the Marlins wanted from the Jays before settling on the Brewers offer. Now all you do is put him at 1B/DH (which they did) and hope he turns into what he was hyped to be. Preferably before 2025.

    The MLBPA didn't want to bubble its players. I think this was essentially 1) do what MLB ultimately did, or 2) do not have a season. No in between.

    Agreed, but the MLBPA was not going to agree to a bubble, which I believe is what put the kibosh on the "Florida-Arizona-Texas" bubble idea that was floated around a few months ago. I don't even know how baseball can be played in a bubble. There are just so many people involved. I don't think it was even realistic.

    Rob Manfred being in charge during a pandemic is one of the scariest things about this season. I was hoping for the best, but even one team having an outbreak impacts the entire season. A few players on each team was expected, but an entire team is hard to work around.

    Wow. He also had Giles pitch 3 days in a row last season shortly before the trade deadline, and Giles got hurt then too. I don't see Shatkins firing him after 2 years. They should, but it would make them look bad for hiring him in the first place. Unfortunately I think we are stuck with him.

    The whole point of the runner on 2nd is to avoid long extra innings. I think all of the games so far have ended in the 10th. Oh well, Yamaguchi hasn't looked good in any spring training or summer camp sample size, and he looked bad here as well. The rule likely didn't change the result of this game. If Montoya is still managing in 2021, then Shatkins deserves criticism. He's fine for a rebuilding/tanking team, but if you actually want to win, hire someone better. A lot better.

    They better overturn this.

    Vlad diving for the ball when there was a f***ing shift and Biggio was right behind him is almost a perfect way to lose at the Trop.
  14. glory
    Montoyo is bad on every level. Geez.
  15. glory
    Ump trying to save Giles.
  16. glory
    I can live with the weight since that doesn't seem fixable long term, but good god man, hit the ball in the air!

    Hatch is the real deal.

    Starting the season in July was the best thing for Grichuk.
  19. glory
    I was hoping Montoyo was saving Wags for the 8th inning today.
  20. glory
    3 straight fastballs in the same spot.
  21. glory
    That would have been the better option, although Cole gave up two warning track fly outs in his inning.
  22. glory
    Yeah he looks and manages like a fall guy. He was here to soak up a s*** ton of losses because no good candidate would have. At least I hope that's the case. So far I think Gibby 2.0 was more analytical than him, so I'm not sure what the point was for hiring him other than to take one or two seasons on the chin.
  23. glory
    If we assume Romano, Bass, and Dolis were unavailable, Giles being saved in case we take the lead, and Cole already used, who else was available? Hatch and Kay going tomorrow, so they are out. Is Yamaguchi with the team right now? Other than that it was either Sammy G or Waguespack. Sounds like this was going to be a loss either way.
  24. glory
    Sam is not a high leverage reliever. He is a mop up guy. Was hoping for the best there, but not surprised.
