fathom

His velocity was fine, so hopefully no surgery needed.

Sousa just made the team, didn’t he

DVS implying it’s arm related

Ugh

Crochet in

Should be our 8/9 hitters vs LHP

Crick in

He looks really bad in the at bats I’ve seen. Not a lot of balance at the plate. Oh well, it’s ST.

Severino in

Yeah I know...even though Tony sounded less then enthused about the role he’ll have this year on the podcast. Ironic, I know

One of Kimbrel, Crick, Crockett, Burr or Severino was supposed to pitch tonight and didn’t. Very interesting to watch if Kimbrel doesn’t pitch.

Did Romy come in when Robert reaches first or when he ran to 2nd?

Tony had an interesting comment on the WS Talk podcast about how you might not be able to get a pitcher now if you add a RF. Sure seems like another move is coming.

It’s going to be very annoying if Harrison bats 7th this year

He’s pitching tonight. Not that I think it’s happening but they wouldn’t be in the same deal. Romy could always be a possibility for the A’s.

Did I miss why Engel is playing

Yep and Stoney even said Kimbrel mentally doesn’t like not being the closer. I personally think it’s a horrible decision keeping him on the roster for a role he doesn’t want.

On WS Talk podcast, Stoney said he thought Kimbrel is likely to be traded if a team has an injury to their bullpen. Doesn’t sound like anything imminent.

Just wait for the reaction if Kopech looks bad tonight

Yes

Lots of smoke the Reynolds trade takes place

Who knows

I feel like he’s going to sign a deal like Rodon but for a few million less per year. Gives the signing team some protection where they can bring him back if he has a big year. Have a very hard time seeing any team give him four years.

And trade Bellinger for Kimbrel
