Kopech getting no love from the home plate ump

My thoughts too. They were talking about him hitting triple digits when he first came up, then mentioned 90-93... Yeah.

And out at home...

Gladney doubles off the LF wall

90-93 according to the telecast

Oh he's safe

Heads up DP!

Maybe Hawk should get on the horn with Jerry then, instead of blaming everything on the marketing department.

Quoting SSS here provides no real relevant info. No one is disputing that Burger has an option remaining. What you fail to or refuse to understand is that said option is used when he gets sent to Charlotte, not the other way around. Burger would have to make the 26 man roster for that option not to be used. Once the option is used, he can be recalled at any time, for up to 3 times this season. He could stay in AAA all year and no matter what the option is still used. Waiting for an “inevitable” Mondada injury would require use of a limited bench spot to keep Burger with the big club while he rode the pine instead of getting AAA ABs everyday. That would be a horrible usage. Burger is likely a AAAA guy so trying to save his last remaining option really isn’t that big of a deal. Every team has guys like Burger and Sheets, which is why they have no trade value and are still in the org to begin with. This really isn’t difficult to understand.

More or less confirms a bench of Seby, Sheets, Alberto, and Romy.

I do believe.

You mean the offseason fluff pieces didn't magically make him young again?

What a fine use of $12M there Rick.

Don't give them any ideas now! We aren't in the clear until that becomes officially official.

Trying to have more faith in Grifol than that, but nothing would really surprise me at this point.

Seriously, wrap the starters in bubble wrap and let the kids take on the Northsiders.
