It feels like there is a lot more to Robert's health than we know. Thinking back, he hasn't seemed to be right in CF for a while now. It would explain a lot.

Maybe they are trying to put off a roster juggle? Who knows with this bunch.

Whoa, kind of surprised MIwaukee deal him, but at the same time, that is a return.

My guess is if he were not, they would have either not mentioned it, or would have said he was leaving his rehab assignment for further evaluation. Well at least I hope so.

At the end of the day if you miss the playoffs you have a zero percent chance of winning. If you make the playoffs that chance goes up by infinity, no matter how small it is. YOu get in, get your match up, and go from there. There is no more random of a sport than baseball.

I would love a six to eight week stretch where almost all of our players hit the grass on a daily basis.

The AL Central being absolute trash is our saving grace. All we have to do is get healthy for a minute. We get healthy and hot in October we can win.

Look, I think it a childish response for someone to feel the need to go after people for not being satisified with this teams performance, and to make it personal, ergo, the very definition of a personal attack. I know you feel the need to lecture me here and have the last work for giving said poster the same type of response to his personal attacks, and that's fine. I obviously don't agree with your point of view, so if you feel the need to be superior too, go right ahead. I feel that if you are personally targeting people, posters responding in kind isn't crazy, especially when the feel the need to break another rule and make those attacks through PMs.

That's nice.

But you really don't have to. We have three guys who are still showing signs of injury and fatigue in Kopech and Lynn with their knee problems, and Giolito post covid. It wouldn't occasionally skip those guys (and really Cueto and Cease couldn't hurt from a few extra days off here and there). A six man rotation, or a five man rotation with a floating sixth man to give one person a day off per each rotation round would give a break to the starters without needing to pen someone.

I think it is weird that people are so excited about literal mediocrity they feel they need to make personal attacks on people over it. If the OP would "stick to baseball" and not make inappropriate attacks at other posters personally, both through the site and DM's, they probably wouldn't get the same back in kind. Now back to the 3rd place parties!

Oh please. You are going to come out personally swinging at people and then do this? Stay in your sandbox then.

Who also apparently is madder that people would have realistic expectations versus rooting for mediocrity. Grrr.

He's mad you have standards apparently.

Your family must love how easily satisfied you are. One game over .500 and you are taking victory laps like we've actually achieved something worth celebrating. Hooray 3rd place!

He will bury all of us.

Not nearly as funny as people who rush to throw their bodies in front of any criticism as if they were his secret service. The whole world knows we're playing short, but sure Tony is a genius fooling everyone.

And they miss the playoffs.

Bruce Levine is full of shit. If he wasn't, everyone else would have run with this too.

I am not buying into Bruce Levine.

Seeing the prices that are out there, selling is definitely interesting. I know they won't, but man you could make some hay just moving some of the bullpen guys.

This ship is not sinking, we are just giving it a couple of days of rest.

It would be nice if one of our esteemed sports reporters could be ever so troubled as to potentially ask a member of the organization they cover, this very tough question, it would be exceedingly nice.

Ohtani incoming confirmed.
