Or just play Grandat 1B when McCann catches so you can switch his position and not lose DH.

Thanks!

I can't remember but was it announced that the extra inning rule would be in effect in playoffs? I hope not.

Oh I know. Just that Terrance Gore has been picked up by playoff bounds teams it seems like towards end of year last few years.

Yep. Think Terrance Gore (where is that guy?).

Serves the role of speedy bench piece in playoffs I guess.

Then why even bother playing a single game the rest of the year?

Well yeah I always assumed this was the work around. The "player to be named later" and then resolving it within the 6 months or whatever.

What would be a fair deal for 2+ years of Nimmo?

I think he would clash too much with Coop.

Going forward, I'm good with expanded playoffs, but maybe not 16 teams. 6 in each league would be fine with me (top 2 teams gets a bye the first round?). Especially with baseball likely expanding to 32 teams soon.

Gotta be a new record.

He looks like a doofus except for when he hits.

They've said thats normal (for a coach to grab a glove and stand at a position) for simulated games.

Could he just replace Gonzalez eventually with Madrigal coming back and replacing Goins?

Yep. Especially when it's only 2 games and against a bad team.

I agree with this. If Madrigal is back, play Mendick at 3B in Pittsburgh and give him 4 days off.

If he comes up and struggles (they call him up to test if hes ready for playoff run/playoffs), I could see him start next year in the minors.

Agreed 100%.

I've been saying this to my friends last couple days. I wouldn't be upset if we started seeing Engel in there more since defense would be improved and he would be hitting 8 or 9 (depending on where you want Madrigal in the lineup, but probably Engel 9th with Mendick in lineup).

Honestly, never counting on him again. And neither should anyone on here. If he comes back, I'm throwing him in the pen.

I think promoting him would mean the end of EE so the at bats would be there.

Yoan has to be sore or something. Dude had what, 3 days in a row off last week (third game in the series, off day, and then PPD Cards game)?

Exactly. As a kid, no one ever used it by its meaning. And likely started because you just a heard another kid use it without knowing the meaning. But you learn and grow up.

Unless you get overwhelmed with an offer (don't see it happening), you hold onto him.
