Probably more likely we see tonight’s configuration than Goodwin. Honestly with a 26 man roster that is healthy I don’t see how Goodwin makes the playoff roster. Bench will be Leury, Collins, Sheets and Hamilton IMO.

First 2 games 100% guaranteed on Thursday the 7th and Friday the 8th?

I noticed Yermin hasn’t played much lately. Is he hurt or just out of favor?

I’m gonna be Cleveland first this series and even I would love to see this in game 2!

I think there are lots of reasons Kopech can’t and won’t go 180 IP next season.

Yeah what they’ve done with Kopech this year is terrible. All around. He have been in aaa til early to mid summer managing inning, working up endurance and getting control back. And he should have been starting games in the bigs since then. Now pwe won’t even get a full 2022 out of him in the rotation. Major fuckup, bur TLR wanted him in the pen and probably doesn’t care too much about what that means for the future.

I don’t think Engel is at 50%, but even so, he’s an enormous upgrade on Goodwin.

Maybe Wright dropping his suspension is the short term roster play tho?

They play tomorrow in Detroit too ya?

Touche!

Please get the taste of yesterday’s brutal game out of our mouth with double digit runs, please.

Hopefully Cesar gets jettisoned to the moon. I’m only half kidding. He’s terrible and Leury should be the 2B moving forward; Engel/Vaughn can cover RF in the playoffs. My guess is Fry.

Can we get some Grandal analysis tho?

Yep. It sucks cause that early season Rodon was so good. But anyone expecting that to continue for 180+ innings and into October we’re always in for a rude awakening. I was pulling for Carlos and still am, but was always of the mindset of ride him while you have him because eventually he’s gonna go down. Now hopefully he’s alright and can contribute in some way in October. But expecting him to go out there and give you 7 innings of 1 run ball with a bunch of Ks went out the window months ago. Nothing that happened today changed that.

We are. No way Hahn picks up that option at this point. He’s not getting $6M on the open market.

Side note - how TF does Sheets not make that play in the 8th? Dude is unplayable at 1B. Between him and Cesar it was pretty ugly over there. Cesar just keeps fucking up in the field and he’s swinging with a pool Noodle at the dish.

Running out of time to get into full gear tbh. Don’t really expect to see that. Just playing with some damn life would be nice. Tonight was disgusting.

Ummmm I highly doubt this is how most athletes wives feel lol.

Dudes struggling to get consistent at bats in aaa these days. He’s headed overseas.

For sure, but TA certainly seems to be a family man and I can see that fucking with his psyche. Bummed to hear that honestly. Hope he’s able to clear his mind.

Haha yeah I’m just joking around. Grandal is a stud and was quite literally the best fit for this ball club when they signed him.

Ok we’ll keep dreaming about early season Rodon returning dude. It’s not happening and never was. Sorry bud.

Woof

Rodon hasn’t thrown over 5 innings in 2 months. Hard to dominate anyone doing that. Things weren’t suddenly changing at the snap of some fingers once October rolled around.

What issues are you guys referring to??? First I’ve heard of this.
