What happens when McGuire gets hit in the nards and has to leave the game?

Mendick has to catch.  Harrison in.

We have to lose the DH. 

I wasn’t sure if that rule remained in place.  Not really sure what purpose it serves.

This.

Hall-of-fame managerial.

Can't we send down the turd that is Seby.  He can't hit and we already know that.  Bring up the young guy Perez who has way more upside and skill

I figured out why we never pinch run for Yasmani... he switch hits

Another puzzling decision there. 

TLR never needed it in St. Louis, so of course he doesn't care about losing it. 

I know Vest is tough on lefties, but why pinch hit your back up catcher.  Would rather have seen Sheets or even Harrison.

One thing is certain, Levon Helm is awesome.

Up Schitt's Crick won't accomplish that on his own?

So Tony used the backup catcher to DH lol. Seby had no chance

That's even a question? Seby was the obvious choice. A career .170 hitter. Who else could pinch hit?

Sheets is in AAA.

Why Seby?

Why not Harrison or Engel

If Sheets wasn't on Charlotte roster...that would be quite the magic trick.

Lance should probably be done but he'll probably be out there in the 5th.

Uh-huh.

Why not Harrison or Engel 

Engel is coming in for defense later.

Yep. And how many guys are available in relief? Two? 

Ha, hearing Stone talk about Baez is hilarious

Kyle Wrong DNA Crick isn't THAT bad...almost a 3 ERA.  That's obviously a bit misleading.

What the hell happened to Crick's velocity? He used to throw 96 with the Pirates.

Does he rip into him?

Is he calling him El Mago or whatever still?  The Magician...wishing the Sox had signed him instead?

He's got a crick in his neck

The Little Magician!

Talked about him getting booed, etc., earlier. Says he's a good fielder but basically if you throw a slider you can get him out
