Yeah that should have been blocked.

Baez would have swung.

That ball probably skips by Collins to be honest.

I've been going back and forth on this myself. Hamilton is fine for defense and pinch running, but like you said, a healthy Engel can do that. Hamilton should not receive any at bats in the playoffs (if he is on the roster).

I don’t think he is the 8th inning guy. Bummer pitched the night before and Hendriks wasn’t available (TLR said 2 days ago Kimbrel would get closer duties 2 days in a row). So I’m not sure who else TLR would have used but I wish he would use Crochet more, at least better than how he has handled him so far.

I went 3-0 making game threads against the Cubs earlier this month. Hopefully you do too.

If he said that, then yes they definitely need to flip roles.

Kimbrel for closer!

Would have been nice to have him to trade in the rebuild years for sure.

I mentioned it in some thread the first day of his rehab assignment. I think it was last weekend?

We can unclench now.

I'm already mentally preparing for Kimbrel's inning.

Cut them some slack. They just got baseball back in Toronto for the first time since 2019 haha

Yeah seriously lol lets watch this guy give up a bunch of hits and runs with no one warming up.

Thought the exact same thing. What an idiot.

66 pitches. I'm hoping for a quick next inning so he can get 2 in.

Far from over with this pen but hopefully we hang on.

MLBTR did this last year while there was nothing to talk about it (it was like last June) and it was a pretty fun read. 2 writers drafted 2 new teams.

Exactly why I said "would have been nice to have" haha

Pretty much because Moncada is out but would have been nice to have Mendick at 3B against a lefty.

I’d be ok leaving Keuchel off the roster. Fine back of the rotation arm but we only need 4 starters. I go back and forth on this and think Cease coming out of the pen every game (so many day offs built into playoffs that it is possible) with his stuff could be fun.

So Hamilton and a catcher as the 2 extra spots?

Nice thanks.

What about Colas? (sorry if this was shared before). About $3 mill maybe?

Yep, which is why I don't think we see Sheets.
