It was, but not how you would think. C'mon Eloy

C'mon Jose.

Yes that's a good question too.

No it was really close.

Fuck. He's safe. Edit: wow. Thought it was obvious Anderson was off the bag.

Nut shot for McCann

This is the night for Giolito to experiment with his curveball.

I don't know how, but the Mets are all over Giolito's slider and they aren't even hangers.

Very true.

Whyyyyyy is Reed batting 4th?

Nice T1, Gio!

+1. Wonderful post.

That post was 100% sarcasm. All is well.

It's August and Eloy is still struggling. I don't want that to happen to Robert and Madrigal.

Madrigal and Robert really should be in Chicago on 8/19, provided that Madrigal keeps raking. (I have no reason to believe he wouldn't) They're past the point in the rebuild where they should be playing silly service time games. Giolito, Lopez and Moncada are all here in 2020, maybe one will be here in 2026. Maximize 2020, and worry about 2026 later.

With you 100%. I'm ok with bringing up Robert and Madrigal around the time they brought up Kopech last year. Given that Madrigal just got to AAA, I'd imagine that Either August 19th or 26th they should be up. I hope to god they don't waste 2020 due to playing silly service time games. They're past that point in the rebuild. Moncada, Giolito and Lopez will all be here in 2020, Maybe one will be here in 2026. Bring up Robert and Madrigal now. 2020 means more than 2026. Worry about 2026 in 2024-25.

Both an approach and mechanical change. Here it is.

After he got sent back to AAA a couple weeks ago. Made a tweak or two. Go read the minor league thread from last night.

This is correct. It is going to be hard to trade for SP. Uncle Jerry better open up the checkbook.

WTF? I never said that. You must be confusing me for someone else. Greene and Vazquez at the least were better options. If Giles were healthy, him too.

I approve of this post. Jay, Castillo and Reed out, Collins, Mercedes, and Mendick in. Also, I'm ok with giving one last look to Fulmer. Osich can be DFA as well, and Ruiz can go back when Herrera returns from injury.

I'd be super intrigued. I'd give something up for him actually. Not something of value, but a little something something.

And you'd have more excitement playing players that matter over someone who doesn't.

I'd rather have the draft pick. There is no reason for them to try to win in 2019. Player development>>>>>>Wins this season. 2020 is a different story. They've had too many injuries to the pitching staff to worry about wins this year. Draft position matters. Wouldn't you rather have had Benintendi and Adell instead of Fulmer and Collins? That is what 5-6 wins will get you.

Please explain. I don't know the context.
