I did not think this would hit 7 batters into the game...

Just need 1 more here lol

There was a boost on Rivers for Castillo to have over 6.5 Ks. Basically a slam dunk.

Wasn’t it a 4-6 week timeline?

The resident Seattle..…resident speaks.

Yep. Great stop gap while TA has been out.

Yeah just stick them in the 9 spot and see what they can do. They need some legit upgrades to other spots though.

Just stay in-house and spend for upgrades in the outfield. Go with Romy or Lenyn. Romy has looked good and probably has earned an early look or at least the option to compete in spring training.

Yeah it would have to be really cheap for me.

See what he wants but I feel like they could stay in-house at 2B.

I feel like if you bring back Abreu, you gotta trade Vaughn. This team needs to get more athletic, more left-handed, and Eloy needs to DH more (not that that is a guarantee they would). Colas likely comes up early next year for one corner spot and either a free agent or trade candidate plays the other. Preferably a left-handed bat.

Get. A. Real. RF.

Makes sense to keep running him out there, not putting him on the IL for almost 10 days, and then trying to play him again.

Why even play him if you don’t think he can play a full 9 innings?

Our lineup is deep enough for Robert to be hitting 7th?

Edit: I see August 25th as last game he started, only going on paternity list for a few days. They love to play short handed.

Counting the game he pinch ran, how many days has he missed?

4-5-6 coming up to bat down 2. Not too crazy to come back from.

Why didn’t Graveman pitch the 9th?

The opener idea is fine. Opening with a reliever who has struggled to find the zone and has a 7+ era is not.

If it was for him, it would almost be the plot of Major League 2 lol

Haha, can’t blow the lead if you never had it.

Yeah, it’s definitely an area where they can save money on an already high payroll for next year.

Only thing Gavin Sheets should be doing next year is platooning in LF to start the year for like a month until Colas is ready with a real addition (Nimmo?) in RF and then getting optioned for depth. Hell, with Eloy’s injury history, Sheets might be our DH in this scenario.

Looks like I missed a great one last night. How has Romy looked lately? Good enough to decline the option on Harrison, save some money to spend elsewhere, and roll with Romy at 2B in (hopefully) the 9th spot next year?
