I don't know, i would consider letting him go out for the 7th.

Is Olson going to know how to pitch with a lead?

Clutch HBP works.

In play, run(s).

Hopefully he goes yard.

Second is like a pre third.

Agree, not a fan of the almost strictly every other day arrangement.

Sucks for Kreidler. He'd likely have gotten one of those calls.

I think there's a lot of value for a high OBP player if they have good baserunning skills (ie, not necessarily just speed) and good defensive versatility. That's a very good asset to a MLB bench. I don't know if Vilade is that player, but I guess we may find out.

This start has been enjoyable. There's flaws, sure. But, come on, let's stop and soak in a winning record this late in the season for once.

Has Cleveland conceded defeat yet, or do they want to play this one out still?

Win the series today, and they're only 3 games out of the division lead.

Bad start. I'm still confident that we will see the historical May-September Maeda going forward. And I'll also add in that he's got a good postseason resume.

$100K more than Beverly has been punished.

But a career .793 OPS vs LHP heading into tonight.

No Canha, no Carpenter. 11 runs on the board. Go figure.

Should’of hit him 3rd.

He also kept his distance from Deuce.

It seems like Holton and Wentz have switched stats.

Well, it seems the Tigers do have troubles with lefties. But, it seems they also have troubles with righties, too. I suppose a lefty hitter down and righty hitter up creates a bit more lefty/righty balance on the roster in terms of numbers of hitters.

Baddoo's line seems worthy enough of a call up in this instance, he's already on the 40, and I believe this is his last option year. We've seen him play, we know the general strengths and weaknesses. I guess what I don't understand is, if he isn't worthy of this call up in this situation, why has he remained in the organization? Maybe its more about the defensive versatility (ie, the infield if Vierling is needed in CF) than I think it should be, I don't know.

Deactivate the game result notifications?

I think they had a spot to use, so they don't have to kick anyone off. Additionally, they could always move Gipson-Long from the 15 day IL to the 60 day IL. I surprised they didn't call Baddoo back up. Already on the 40. Offensive line isn't as good as Vilade, but definitely isn't packing the BABIP filler punch either. This might be moot once Urshela is back anyway.

Vilade plays all over the field as well. So that's kind of dandy. Edit: Does this put McKinstry on notice?

Is all of this related to humidity or wind or something?
