  1. Yeah based on that chart above there isn't a single guy besides Rolison I'd feel totally comfortable using. Taillon for 4, Rolison for 3, Carson Kelly for 1, Rolison gets put out to pasture and we find another Rolison for the next time this happens.
  2. Im probably screwing up these stats but savant has it he single as an .840 xBA. Don’t think catch probability comes out until tomorrow?
  3. Eh. Think you just have to white knuckle it for a little bit and hope for a few lopsided games one way or another.
  4. Bottom of the lineup, let’s get some BABIP luck and scratch one across with Busch and Suzuki
  5. Very happy to have been thus far proven very wrong on mo baller
  6. Going to assume Wiggins is dead but if this IL thing he’s dealing with is partly to limit the innings, um, we could use 3-4 a week up in the majors.
  7. 7-1 home stand, we beat up an elite lefty starter, and our thus far walk prone new pitching addition went 7 innings without throwing one. In the worst case here.
  8. 9-1-2 in the 9th, I will take one strikeout, one hard hit ball right at someone, and one terrifying fly ball that lands in Happ's glove a step in front of the tracks please.
  9. Good, not elite. That was a weird enough play that I'm willing to write it off. That didn't take long, offense is a machine.
  10. Streaming era pro: I can watch this game on my phone at my desk Streaming era cons: Pretty much everything else but also seeing posts like this and thinking I'm a minute behind and just waiting for an error that (thankfully) never came
  11. Mediocre bullpen arms + bad BABIP luck. Their bullpen is also worn out, we have more outs left, go win.
  12. Unless you're calling for Ballesteros to be only a pinch hitter, Suzuki's bat is much better than being a short side of a DH platoon.
  13. We're probably still going to win because we're a really good baseball team but we're also currently built to drop a few of these types of games. Doing it after a 8 game win streak against two projected playoff teams is just not something I'm going to let ruin my day. At the same time, come on Alex.
  14. If he wants to keep himself in shape I'm sure his ability to eat innings for the minimum will have some appeal come July when the 5-6 non contending teams do mass sell offs. Or he could just take the $110m he's made in his career and ride off into the sunset.
  15. It was the last year of the deal, so most of it has already been paid. Like $16m for the rest of the year still
  16. No game thread up yet but giving PCA the day off against Sanchez and letting Shaw try out CF. Also going Amaya at DH, so avoiding LH hitters as much as possible (besides Kingery, sorry buddy, better luck next time).
  17. 98 with run back to the inside corner is about as good as it gets.
  18. Backhus is an opener for Taijuan Walker, who looks thoroughly cooked. Going off the 'avoid 3 games in 4 days' approach, they're probably trying to avoid Kerkering, Mayza, Shugart, and Alvarado got pulled for an injury/injury concern last night. Backhus himself pitched Sunday and Monday, so guessing he's one inning at most. Game 3 of a four game, Monday-Thursday series is always going to test a bullpen, but put some runs up early and they might let Walker wear it for a while (and we can hopefully soak up some innings from Little or Rolison).
