we all know this is ending in a double play right?

[Nick]

i mean stallings sucks obviously, but why are you sending him there. He is jacob stallings, he runs with ankle weights on, and they would have had 2nd and 3rd with no outs for the top of the order.

If he

1. doesn’t completely slow down almost to a stop rounding 3rd base
2. slides

he scores

[fish16]

ahhh yes, our hottest hitter avi garcia up with the bases loaded. Wait what?

They have a lot of moves to make tomorrow. Hard to guess who the fuck is on the roster anymore but ill give it a shot:


C- Fortes/Stallings
1b- Bell
2b- Arraez
SS- Berti
3b- Burger
LF- DLC
CF- Jazz
RF- Sanchez
Bench- Fortes/Stallings, Gurriel, Garcia, Wendle, Hampson

SP- Sandy, Luzardo, Garrett, Cueto
RP- Robertson, Puk, Lopez, Nardi, Okert, Scott, Chargois, Brazoban, Soriano,

Then next time Cabrera's spot comes up send down Brazoban for Eury. I'd also DFA wendle for Edwards but what the fuck do i know.

My only note here is the inadvertent omission of Soler over Hampson.

And Brazoban/Soriano get optioned for Eury when needed, and Cabrera will probably be back quickly for the other after a quick tuneup. They need his innings.

Roster expansion Sep 1. gets them Hampson and Edwards/Myers and then Rogers/Brazoban/Soriano coming back. I believe they can only add 2 bats and 1 P.

I knew i was forgetting someone. Yes, soler obviously on there and i would just DFA Wendle and leave Hampson up there.

Why didn’t Jazz pinch hit for Garcia with the righty on the mound?

[fish16]

jesus christ.

[fish16]

good god i cant wait till the new guys get here tomorrow. I really hope they DFA wendle. Hampson does not deserve to go down. He has outplayed wendle at every opportunity.

[Erick]

The Sanchez ball is a hit if Schwarber is in LF, but of course Marsh is playing LF tonight.

[fish16]

this is going to be an absolutely brutal loss isnt it. Also, sanchez has some of the worst at bats in key situations. His at bats are consistently terrible in big spots lately.

[fish16]

let sandy go all 9. Have robertson up just in case in the 9th.

He hit that ball pretty well.

his at bats are terrible. He gets down 0-2 every time he's up in a big spot.

I'm not sure the difference between Wendle and Hampson changes the bottom line. Practically, Wendle should be a 1-2 day a week player against RHP starters.
