Jung has gotten hot at Toledo in September...currently on a .391/471/717/1208 OPS streak...seems like a logical call up for Keith

I really don't understand why Melton is in the bullpen. Are they trying to limit his innings? I would have swapped Morton for Melton a month ago. 

I would never have traded for Morton. Montero can give you his 4.50 to 5.00 ERA and he has more upside. But...bargain shopping gets them a seat on the couch watching the playoffs on TV. But don't worry, we have prospects in the minors who may help us win a game in 2028 or so. If they even make the majors.

Keith? Or Sweeney? McK and Javy as SS

Keith pulled his right oblique and went for imaging after the game. Didn't sound good. He left the field immediately and told Hinch he couldn't play.

Ah, that makes sense-thanks.

Our problem with Cleveland is they have figured out that left-handed pitching causes us BIG trouble. That's why we went so hard for Bregman and , as much as it hurts, perhaps should have gone the full mile. If Greene doesn't hit we struggle. Period. We were getting real Lotto luck with McKinstry- Baez etc but now it's back down to our core - Greene. 

FWIW I still believe we will win the Central....and play in the first round...

I think they just lost the division (and playoffs) today.    And, I don't know about what next year looks like after this.  Sometimes teams don't recover from epic collapses.      The absolute arrogance and stupidity of doing next to nothing at the trade deadline.  Like you're so good you don't need to go for it now.  After the All Star Break when they were brutal I made a post that was sort of a joke where I wrote "this is going to be really painful"     This is very very painful.      Sitting still (at the deadline) didn't send a good message and you heard that from the Red Wings last year.  The team captain, Dylan Larkin, talked about how let down the team was when they did nothing at the deadline.  I think it's kind of the same story here.      If this does happen, doesn't someone need to go?   I don't know who, but someone?   

I think someone needs to go if they don't make the playoffs.  Leading candidate would be Harris but maybe Hinch or Hinch and Harris.  I think Hinch manages the team like its a little league team.  It was just stupid to do nothing at the trade deadline when they were already struggling at the time.  Everyone knew the pitching rotation and the pen were in big trouble and what little they did do made the team worse.

Nobody is getting fired no matter what happens. I am more sure of that than winning the Central which, agin, I believe we will do.

Harris and Hinch are both good at their jobs. There is no need to fire anyone.
