We even screwed that up, or his son would be our starting OF. Of course he might not have survived our minor league system/coaching 2-3 years ago.

What’s the rule for adding players to the 40 man roster right now? I’m not too familiar. The 40 is full and only position players available to call up are Sheets and Romy and apparently Romy is hurt (hasn't played since 6/18). Only way to open some spots save for trading guys on the 40 man is if Mendick or Engel are hurt enough to put on the 60 day IL, or start waiving some pitchers. Sousa, Severino, Markel, Aybar and Bilous seem like the most likely options. Edited June 22, 2022 by JoeCredeYes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Robert actually should be benched…saw the replay, no clue why he was admiring a flare single that was totally misplayed in left instead of busting it out of the box. Arguably could have been on third with the throw through to the plate. Benched even if it means Leury in CF one game. Josh Harrison scored all the way from first on the play…Robert ends up on first. And he was not injured coming out of the box…he was just posted up watching the ball drop in front of Gurriel, who had a pretty terrible defensive series.

Unless it is COVID related, you either have to have an open 40 man spot, or open one up by removing someone else from the 40 man roster in one form or another.

Might be a cracked kneecap or ACL/MCL/PCL. Definitely a deep deep knee bruise/contusion at the very least. Direct knee to knee contact. Burger had no angle and should have peeled off much earlier…or been called off by Mendick and/or Haseley.

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) https://www.mlb.com/video/luis-robert-s-rbi-single-x5018 Here’s the full video of the Robert play in question…Stone starts calling him out at the end. Guess we will hear he was told to take it easy with a 7-2 or 9-2 lead or whatever it was at that moment. Bad habits just keep proliferating. Lack of communication calling off fielders. Trail runners constantly advancing. Not catching or holding onto balls. Terrible throws or missed relays/cuts. Such a sloppy team and organization overall. Talented but directionless. Or rudderless. Choose your preferred adjective. Edited June 22, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until his time had passed…not unlike JR and TLR. Unfortunately they just don’t know it quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it feels like watching the movie Major League, only a pinup of the owner isn't going to work in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just going to say that exact thing. It seems odd to try to argue that they took him out due to health, but also he is going to play tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
