At least.

I really feel like he has the highest ceiling in the system.

Romy is hurt.

Hopefully we get at least one "All we saying, is give Sosa a chance" This weekend

If they get healthy, sure. If not, no.

Jesus. Apparently they are going to bring him up to bench ride him.

Have you traveled anywhere by plane in the last two years?

Said this in the other thread, but feel really bad for Danny. He was winning himself a major league roster spot with his recent play.

Excellent. So this is just a way of freeing up a roster spot for now.

Also, just saw Mendick torn ACL. Guess we don't have to worry about him until next year then. That sucks for him. He was playing himself into a major league roster contributor.

So when does that push the recall of Eloy back to? Anyone know?

I have to imagine this is a desperation move. If they were looking to fill time, they don't go down for Sosa. They would have either gone higher floor for someone like Yolbert, or tried to find someone on waivers/small trade.

Based on how much guys who were playing all of the time aren't currently playing, there is definitely more going on than we know. Unless something crazy happens again, Sosa is going to have to play a pretty fair amount while he is up here. I don't know what Danny's status is, or how long he will be out, but Leury is obviously hurt, Moncada is out, TA still isn't 100%, and they don't seem to trust Burger to play 3rd very much. Sosa might not start a day or two a week, but a guy like Harrison is going to be getting play to fill in behind some of these other guys leaving plenty of ABs for Sosa at 2b and SS.

I am going to say this much out loud. Everyone is going to have advice for you. Literally everyone. Don't feel obligated to follow any of it. You guys know your situation better than anyone, and your rationale for what you are doing and why. It is also 100% expected to have times where you are all of scared, confused and in awe. Every situation is unique, and despite how much they will act like it, no one is an expert on your family. Finally enjoy it. All will tell you how fast it will go, but it will go even faster than that. Take pictures, stay in the moment. Have loads of fun.

And the crazy thing was he was hitting the ball harder than he had in a week.

Every time they fail to win, the pressure to rescue Tony LaRussa is going to grow. This was Jerry's move to save this window, and he is the one who looks bad if it doesn't happen. I think that has weight.

I hate to say it, but especially this year. This year has been a damned disaster. To come out of it with a playoff birth would be good for these players.

I think this is where AK and company make their noise. Draft day is where they really do work.

Sure we'd all love to see 95 wins, but that isn't going to happen in 2022. Forget it. If they make it, it will be around 90 wins.

100% know.
