Lake optioned to Iowa to make room for Straily. I think as long as he comes up within 20 days (and with roster expansion, he can if they want), it doesn't burn the last option. But will there be 40-man space for him?
Honestly Alcantara is being propped up by UZRNG right now, but he's probably due some BABIP too, so basically just whatever you feel like believing about him is fine.
IT'S BEEN LIKE 10 GAMES. That's why I'm not going to do it. Just takes some patience and self-discipline when he looks as hopeless as he did in that AB. early adopters get more credit when baez has a .265 obp 500 pa's into his career I don't think that's all that far off, and it doesn't bother me.
My kid doesn't say much, but he does occasionally swear in front of other people when he's mad. I tell them his mom does it in front of him and there's nothing I can do about it, even though I practically give him lessons.
Protecting kids from swearing is the worst reason for banning it. Swearing is awesome, why wouldn't you want kids exposed to it? Just try to teach them appropriate contexts, and laugh when they fail and swear in church.
So you're saying a player who was good in the minors, called up to the majors and struggles and when he's sent back down to the minors and is successful again "just sucks and is a 4A player"? Tell Anthony Rizzo that. Age matters.
