I don’t see the Phillies quitting. NL East kinda sucks this year. I would not be shocked if the Yankees went after him. Gary Sanchez has been awful at the plate and has always sucked defensively also has an extensive injury history. Could see them chasing that move for a chance to win it all.
Absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t be trying to add to this lineup. The cost are going to be low. Obviously you don’t move any top prospect for a short term move. I think its a situation where you toss AAAA player or 2 eat some salary and get some more talent on your roster. The bottom of the lineup and bench is just awful.
Travis was up and we had first and third. No reason to make that gamble whatsoever. If that was Drury, Panik, Espinal, Jansen, or McGuire maybe you make that gamble but not with your 3-hole up.
He was never going to throw 100+ pitches especially after a 30 pitch inning and facing the top of the order. I don’t even disagree with this decision. What really hurts is not letting Shoemaker pitch deeper last night because the Jays don’t have their best relievers tonight.
