5 hours ago5 hr 21 minutes ago, DoUEvenShift said:No vargas in lineupI'd imagine his hand swelled up pretty good over night. I think if it was something requiring a DL stint he wouldn't have played defense in the bottom of the 9th. It sounded gross AF in the stadium. Did it hit him right on the inside of the wrist and back of hand?On a side note I'm so god damn sick and tired of these "june gloom" days in the PNW. Rule of them every may and june is if the sun is out it's 72 and nice. If it's not out it's 58-62 and depressing. We're stuck in the latter. Last night it was 63 and fine at first pitch and then was 55 and a damp chill by final pitch.Chicago weather hasn't looked much better. Slow start to spring and summer.

5 hours ago5 hr Ok, I get Vargas is out but must it be Acuna? Move Colson back to SS and play Sam at 3B and I guess improve you OF defense with Hill.

At this point, it’s legit painful seeing his name in the lineup card. I was hopeful that Acuna could right the bat some, but he just continues to pound the ball into the ground and he’s not a good enough prospect to commit at-bats to when he’s struggling so much and the team is actually winning. Hopefully a DFA and a clearing of waivers will happen soon.
4 hours ago4 hr Okay Burke, this is where we're at after that complete crap game you pitched against the Cubs.If you pitch a good game today, we're gonna be thinking, "Oh great. You can pitch a good game now in Seattle, but against the Cubs you have to suck it up? What's up with that? Huh . . . asshole."If you pitch a bad game, it's gonna be, "Oh great, another stinky game, just like against the Cubs. Nice job . . . asshole".Bottom line here: It takes a while for us to forgive poor performances against the Cubs. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by vilehoopster
4 hours ago4 hr Brook reported that Will said x rays negative, Vargas was scheduled for an off day today anyways and he's probably available to PH. I'd probably just let him rest up. We did enough to prevent the sweep this isn't a game we need to go all out to win imo.

Have you all noticed what he's been doing down in Charlotte. He's up to 15 home runs with an OPS of 1.065 (all his batting numbers are nuts). That's some crazy stuff; it seems like he has to come up soon, but where and for whom?

You have this odd horrible mix of diehards that have never seen a WS (lol) that want to use the team as their emotional barometer and then bandwagon fans from last year that just want to get a picture with the Moose and a crab boat.
3 hours ago3 hr this is so American. player merchandise of former NPB players that are currently on active MLB rosters is not allowed to be sold in storefronts in japanMajor League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) strictly regulate the licensing rights of active MLB players, which prohibits Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) teams and their affiliated stores from selling merchandise—such as jerseys, shirts, and caps—that feature the name or likeness of any player currently on an MLB roster.

That means you got to cut two of your outfielders just to make room for them. The most likely options are probably Acuna, Grichuck, Hill, & Kelenic. Candidly, don’t think you can cut Kelenic just yet because the underlying metrics are good and the roster need a LH corner OF until Braden arrives. Even Hill is a tough cut given his status in the clubhouse and his role as a late inning defender & pinch runner (especially if Acuna is gone). To me, the best course of action to get Gonzalez on the roster is cutting bait on Benintendi and opening up the DH spot to rotate guys around. I don’t see them doing that this early in the season, but maybe around the All Star break you make the change if Jacob is still hitting and Andrew’s doesn’t come alive.

3 hours ago3 hr They were able to get to Hancock last time for a season high 5 ER, so we'll see if that was just an off day for him or if it's a Soriano situation where the Sox inexplicably have his number.Murakami took him yard, but T-Mobile is a less friendly ballpark.

You have Antonaccia in LF who hits left-handed, Peters who can play all 3 spots and hits left-handed, and then you need at bats for Hays and Pereira (assuming both get healthy enough to come back at the same time).Benintendi has been hitting better of late so I don't think they will move on any time soon.
