Grandal probably kicked his dog.

I think they decline his option but I wouldn’t rule out a return completely. They can probably bring Cesar back for cheaper if they want to wait it out. I’m down for an Escobar reunion though like you said.

Hopefully Sheets gets most of the at bats Goodwin was getting. Otherwise there doesn’t seem to be a purpose (I assume he will be sent down when Engel comes back).

At minimum, you would think he would spell TA at short and maybe enter a platoon at 2B with Cesar (actually surprised this hasn't been talked about yet for Leury who does better against lefties).

Yeah I was thinking they could decline that option and re-sign cheaper later if they wanted to.

Yep same issue a day later.

They might as well have added him yesterday instead of Mendick and added Mendick today.

Wow that is awesome! I assume he will be at SS tonight with Tim out?

Nice reference.

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.
