Atta boy Danny

Crushed that

I am not a big fan of signing these old dudes but yeah lets not freak out after a few weeks and let him hit his way out of it. I'm betting he feasts tonight.

I just can't get over how slow his bat looks. It seems really hard to believe he'll get to that power, but if he we were able to become a good framer could be a flowers type. It's just a big if.

I think Goins should be enough.

I'd really like 8 but yeah, you have to win 7 and take advantage.

I think some interesting things I'm trying to figure out is you have teams, really all in NL like mets/reds/nats/phils...rox that are underperforming and may be looking to get ML ready help. And if there are any matches where there are major league for major league swaps that suit both teams competitively.

95% likely he doesn't help us at all but Jose de Leon's comeback with the reds went south. But his velo was back, and we have really seemed to get a lot out of sinker ballers recently.

this is one of the best parts about big league pitching. Suddenly it can just click. By the same token...it falls apart so quick. \

September baseball is so bad

saliva testing should be a really effective tool, but because we are relying on a bunch of individual actors to get it up and running and set policy around it I'm still in wait and see mode. A town like Champaign-Urbana is a good pilot for this, but if it's just a few offices in Chicago doing this it kinda defeats the point.

The angels are 9-20? Good lord why are they so bad at this

The Phils really traded a lot for their bullpen pieces. Not looking forward to trading and honestly think we have what we need in-house unless some knock-on-wood stuff happens.

There are no easy answers right now, do whatever is best for your kids. I don't have a problem with parents trying to find a solution that can. I'm just responding to the idea (that didn't come from you) that public schools aren't accountable to anyone which is why they closed, or why they struggled. They are accountable to every family and student in their district. They can't just make a policy that works for only 80% of them. Some are doing terrible at this, some are doing well, but this is not easy especially when its compounded with zero additional resources to figure it out. The virus is the enemy here, not a bunch of districts being unsure how to best balance the health risks of their students, faculty, and community around them. I think New York should absolutely be trying schools. They benefited from not doing indoor dining and it has stayed low. Illinois, while infections have been much higher than June, have not seen the hospitals get out of control. But they lost the ability to do schools with how they handled it, a big issue, in my opinion. I do think I could create a plan that would make me comfortable as a parent and includes in person, but I don't blame them for not figuring it out when the guidance they've received is "have less students" and "you figure it out".

You have to remember the value that this at bat will have in mendicks development in a few months

TBH I’ve been surprised he’s had so few of days like this so far.

Oh hell yeah let’s fucking do this eloy

Ain’t over dude

Obviously we need to sacrifice today’s winnable game for some theoretical advantage a month from now (in a 60 game season)

It’s one of the better what ifs of recent years!

Im surprised nobody does any Kyle Lewis what if’s after the season he’s had.

Wasn’t he in our July sox camp?

Good lord dude

Sorry thought we were replacing Ryan goins not Moncada

Brock Holt is now a free agent
