McGuire in, so Liam might actually be able to throw a breaking pitch.

Barlow is prone to one bad pitch.

Luis fucking saving us again

TA can't be pulling that.

Is it just me or should Yoan have fielded that single by Taylor? TA had no shot, but Yoan did.

Grandal finally does something on offense and decides he'll just give one of those runs back for the hell of it.

They had Lopez at home easy, Grandal forgot how to catch the damn ball.

Yaz fucking sucks

That's a dot.

This team just refuses to score add on runs and the bullpen has to do this just about every game.

Graveman doesn't look real sharp.

I can see it if he actually pitches ok. Like ERA around 4 to 4.5.

Foster getting hit a lot harder as of late.

What an outing from Cueto

He looks done.

Catch the ball Yaz

Cueto probably only good for 70ish pitches with how much he's thrown in AAA.

Isbel is playing a hell of a RF

Johnny Kueto

The good thing with Ayton is that he's still only 24 next year. So even if you sign him to a 5 year max, he's 29 at the end of that deal. If AKME thinks that he can be an anchor defensively while being a solid offensive center, then it might be something worth pursuing. The advanced stats really don't like him. RAPTOR has him as barely better than Vuc this past year. Although because he played on a such a good and deep team, the on/off numbers might really not be in his favor.

If the offense doesn't wake up soon, I can see Menechino getting the boot too. The Royals weren't even expected to be good offensively and they fired their hitting coach.

The thing is that would you pay Ayton $177 million over 5 years? Coby + Vuc works for him in a S&T money-wise, but this would be a huge financial burden on the Bulls, especially if they retain Zach on a max. I also think you need to be careful with centers that CP3 plays with. They usually don't do as well without his distribution skills.

I've always assumed it's pro-rated based on the days he's on the ML roster.

He didn't opt out (yet), so I think he was promised a call up for Tuesday. I'm guessing he'll be put on the team on Tuesday as the 27th man for the DH. If he pitches well enough, he'll stay on the team. If not, they cut ties with him.

How many times have we seen a winning team pitch a position player? I remember Chris Davis saved a game for the Orioles once cause it was in the 14th inning, but I don't remember the last time a team up by 13 pitched a position player.
