flavum Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 If Reds/Braves runs long, not sure what network Sox/A’s starts on. ESPN2 has Astros/Twins. So maybe ESPN News? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been complete dead weight with the bat and doesn't deserve to be on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no guarantee that he's any better. The only guarantee is that he's not Mazara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia was hurt for most of the season obviously, but he played well while he was in. He had a .758 OPS. Almost 200 points higher than Mazara.

He went 0-4 which is exactly what Mazara would have done. Whatever Garcia did before his injury is ancient history.

tray Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Mazara can't catch up to high fastballs. He gets jammed easily on inside pitches. I would put Leury in if for no other erason than to get him some more at bats if it goes to game,e 3 and we advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Garcia coming off of a hand/wrist injury and Mazara are both shitty options. Garcia is supposed to kill lefties and he looked awful yesterday.

Danny Dravot Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Honestly, with the righty going and García coming off injury and McCann looking pretty bad of late, I think it should go- Anderson 6 Moncada 5 Grandal 2 Abreu 3 Jimenez DH Robert 8 Engel 7 Mazara 9 Madrigal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 McCann got pull happy. I think he may be well served by trying to go oppo more, like has has done so effectively in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why a 1 game sample size is enough to bench Garcia but 50 games still gives you any hope on Mazara. And if they each go 0fer, well, Garcia gives you more range in the OF. So even in their offense is a push, the advantage is to Leury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two great bullpens, and I think Bassitt gives us trouble. But I think Keuchel will do same to As. 1 more win, get us to an ALDS, that would be amazing. I wouldn't want to "settle" for anything this season, but getting to the ALDS would be a great accomplishment in the first year of being competitive with essentially two starting pitchers. A win today is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the premise of this that Jason wanted to do last game? Jason wanted to go on twitch or some livestream and do some analysis. He expected Stone to say no and he did. Anyways hes doing 8 hours of statcast broadcast for ESPN today covering all the games, redzone-like. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
