Jose Abreu

Gameday says he was hit by a comebacker in the 2nd

Is it true that Giolito's injury was a result of being hit by a comebacker the inning prior?

I really hope that's what this means but I think you're giving them too much credit. Deep down I think he's still getting regular playing time for the rest of the month at least

I read somewhere that the Week 7 one might be wrong. Not that it really matters, since we'll find out tomorrow

After 3 consecutive days with an appearance, I'd be willing to bet that he's not available

Ruiz was warming too which makes it even worse

Seems kinda dumb. What if we need him tomorrow in an actual save situation

Not that it matters anymore but I think he would have been

Good call

You're still not sold on LaVine?

Moncada

Eloy

One more hit and he'll be batting .500! At what point does he just get intentionally walked every PA?

We've had this debate plenty of times here, but I've always thought they would have won it without him too, and that's excluding that he wasn't particularly good in the postseason

Honestly, if I were a Packers fan, I would hate that. It was clear that he wasn't himself last year and playing through such a serious injury can be detrimental in a lot of ways

I'll guess early-mid June, which is when I think Kopech would've been up had he not struggled in April

I like him. He doesn't walk often but also doesn't strike out (sound familiar?). For a defense-first catcher at an age-appropriate level, that's sort of intriguing

In like 10 games

I'm with you on McClure but you totally jinxed him. 5 earned runs in the first inning...

Well there's an RBI single for Robert. Ho hum

Yeah, it's not obvious for sure, but he at least has shown an ability to work counts and play multiple positions *without* being the literal worst defender in the league. Unlike Palka, he was once an actual prospect and not just minor league depth. Might as well see what he can do in more than 40 ABs or whatever he got last year

Having Cordell and Rondon at 8/9 would make the lineup so much better. Not necessarily because they’re so good, but because they at least look like they belong on an MLB team and can work quality ABs
