    Gimenez collected 5 hits and a walk in his 2 games in the leadoff spot so that's a perfectly fine choice as well.

    That series seemed to have acted as a bit of a launching off point for the team. Since the last game of that series they've ripped off a second best in MLB 33-18 run.

    I wouldn't necessarily frame the earlier series against the Angels as some kind of beatdown. The Angels took 2 of 3 games, but one of the victories was by a single run as that was the first game where Hoffman surrendered 3 runs in a third of an inning.

    He was finally on his way to a better start last night but the game was suspended after the second inning.

    To be perfectly fair he quietly ripped off a 148 wRC+ from mid April until the end of June. He hasn't gotten as hot as he's capable but with the improved defense and baserunning he's still been a solid contributor to the club.

    It was mentioned on a recent broadcast that someone in the pen was battling through some sort of injury issue so an IL stint could be possible.

    I like Edward Cabrera as a Marlins target.

    I disagree completely. A healthy and productive Santander would be a massive addition to the middle of the lineup. I can think of few better ways to complete ruin the relationship with a player than to attempt to force him to remain on the injured list after he's healthy and ready to return.

    That's surprising they allowed Santander to try to play through the issue. It was apparent he was a shadow of his usual self and wasn't even able to swing the bat with his usual intensity. He offers no defensive value and isn't a great contact hitter so if he isn't able to club fingers he doesn't have much to offer.

    The first time the Jays played the Yankees was during that awful 4-12 stretch so hopefully with the team playing much better over the last 7 weeks this series will turn out differently. The Jays have been performing very well in their limited plate appearances vs left handed pitching so hopefully they can at least take one of the first two games of the series.

    This isn't nearly the type of gotcha response that you think it is. The correct answer is I'd want neither of these guys hitting with the game on the line in the 9th inning. The team employs multiple better options on the bench to pinch hit in this type of situation.

    I'm not referring to this season only. I think Rojas has always been a bit unheralded compared to other arms in the system throughout his entire time in the organization.
  13. max silver
    I hardly think it's worth worrying about who is hitting in the 7-9 spots in the lineup.
  14. max silver
    It feels like Rojas has gone a little under the radar compared to other arms in the system. Hopefully he can finally find a way to remain healthy as the injuries have sapped so much of his developmental time.

    Macko's 2-2/3 inning/8 ER outing likely didn't help his chances either.
  16. max silver
    When you start to get to your 8th depth starter options and beyond beggars can't be choosers.
  17. max silver
    Assuming that neither of them are needed for rotation duties, I suspect that Macko and Kloffenstein could eventually be long man options at some point this season.
  18. max silver
    Yeah I had the same type of thought. It's interesting that a player can have the same types of issues with ground balls and low angle fly balls with attack angles that are too high or too low.
  19. max silver
    DeGrom would be awesome but it's probably a coin flip at best that he doesn't miss a huge chunk of time given how injury prone he is. Given how surprisingly competitive the Cardinals have been it's far from a given that they'd be looking to trade their most effective rotation member.
  20. max silver
    Aces aren't quite as important in the playoffs as they used to be given the birth of the super pens that largely started with the mid 2010's era Kansas City Royals. Starters aren't allowed to go deep nearly as often as they used to be even when in cruise control, and with the extra built in days between games this allows the managers to really lean on their relievers to produce outs like never before.
  21. max silver
    You have it backwards. It came out after the game that Bassitt told Schneider that he was done for the day.
  22. max silver
    I sort of doubt the front office would be willing to trade Yesavage in particular, although I could see Stephen being dangled if it were for a player with some remaining control and not a straight up rental.
  23. max silver
    This was a frustrating loss on many counts. I absolutely hate running the contact play with the infield drawn in as it far too often leads to unnecessary outs at the plate. This is one game where I fully agree that Schneider used far too many relievers, particularly with YRod pitching a dominant inning while using only 10 pitches and not being brought back out for a second inning of work. I was not a fan at all of the Little replacement as Hoffman has experienced a lot of games where he simply doesn't have it and bringing him with several runners on base and asking for 4 outs seemed to be a potential recipe for disaster.
  24. max silver
    That would be borderline negligence for a team with a retractable roof stadium to leave it open when the humidex is 45C.
  25. max silver
    There is literally a heat warning in place. Unless you like fans and players being subjected to potentially dangerous levels of heat I don't know why this would be upsetting for you.
