Timberwolves and Rockets are big scoreboard watchers tomorrow. Much rather play Los Angeles without Reaves and Luka than Denver.

Kevin with an error? Send him to Toledo!

This Islanders Senators game is intense

I haven’t liked her for a long time but it is true she is known to be difficult to work with and her NIMBYISM is exactly what California doesn’t need.

Riley getting a hold of one breaks the game open, for now.

The doctors will fix him up. We may not see him for a while though. His season high in games played is less than 60. Time to cut bait...

Riley Greene homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field. Kevin McGonigle scores. Dillon Dingler scores. Wow! One run short of the magic number.

bad chase from Tork.

Riley's best AB this year. You could see Junk was setting him up for a high fast ball but then he left it middle middle instead of getting it up high enough and Riley didn't miss.

Pistons are playing great ball. Playoff intensity is way different so maybe they choke but based on the eye test, these guys look primed to make a deep run. No real passengers on this team outside of Lavert on occasion but even he has pieced together some nice games.

Two out, two strike thunder from Riley.

Let's go!

Finally Riley

I don't think anyone knowledgeable ever said he couldn't play short. I believe they were speculating that he'd probably end up around major league average, which is pretty damn good btw, and if another player came along who could play above average short, it could push McGonigle to 2nd or 3rd, where he'd be above average, and he'd hit enough in any case.

Lack of posit noted. I would bet the current plan is for Rainer to play short and McGonigle second, with the hopes that Colt Keith can stick at third so they can put Briceño at first. To your point, in baseball, plans really work out as planned. But you do have to plan to a best case scenario, and develop adjustments in case it doesn’t happen that way.

Riley with the ribbie single! For as bad as Riley has been—.204 BA, .573 OPS, 73 wRC+ coming into the game—he had gotten on base all 14 games, and now all 15.

that's cold.

2-0!

TBF, I didn't posit that anyone was - other than possibly media or fan speculators. All I said what you don't decide on what to do with a major leaguer based on prospects with better gloves - at least not until they are closer than someone like Ranier.

Riley Greene singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Owen Caissie. Colt Keith scores.

KEEF THE NEW SENIOR DOUBLé

Double Colt Keith doubles (7) on a line drive to left fielder Heriberto Hernández. Kevin McGonigle scores.

Cmon Wenceel. Do it for me, McGonigle
