Went to use the little boys room and the Nats bullpen strikes. Also as bad as Castillo has been, he has come up real big quite a few times

Eh. Third Base, And short are stacked, Abreu hasn't been that good, Colome is 11th in relief pitch ERA. McCann should probably go. They have guys that have legit cases, but most of them wouldn't be snubs if left off.

Only because people feel the need to blame absolutely everything on it.

Doesn't a lot of that have to do with Chapman allowing him to play way to his left?

They need to get the hell away from DC. Cursed series. Go beat up on KC for a couple days and give it another go.

some sort of blood disorder. There's hope he returns for the end of the year.

There's nothing more frustrating as a baseball fan than a LOOGY coming in and walking his guy. Also going with a LOOGY with no outs, nobody on in the sixth is a ...decision

You haven't watched many other teams then

He threw a 95 mph cutter that moved like a slider. It was crazy.

Hard to discount Giolito. Moncada is such a damn freak though

Was that as unfortunate as it sounded

Do your thing Timothy

Masur doing color and Farmer doing PbP makes zero sense

Whether he gets weaknesses exposed at higher levels or not, continuously hitting .350 in AA doesn't do anyone any good. You can't find holes to fix that way.

I would tell you it's the best place for him

It depends on how long it takes to get him signed and playing games. If it takes a little while, he'll get a quick tune up in Kanny

Basabe making the Majors this year was dead in the water the second he broke his hand

I mean we have over the last 2.5 weeks. Whether that was a long enough time to see harder contact, idk

The laughing reaction on anything positive got old the second it started.

Who’s the personnel you have in mind for 1? Edit: I see you said Robert/Moncada. Not sure I love that but I get your point.

He's either a 1 hitter or a 9 hitter. It all depends on his on base skill, which seems to be dependent on his BA because he doesn't walk a ton.

FWIW I think Madrigal can be a useful player as is. But I want more than useful out of a top 5 pick/.

I would be surprised too. But running him out there to get blown up every 5 days isn't good for anyone. Banuelos getting blown up is a non-issue

Wow they really want him the be the 2nd basemen next year.

I'm starting to think giving him a few weeks in Charlotte when Cease comes up might be in the cards
