It won't be Thor. They put him on the IL back to July 27. Blisters.
As for a Cy Young run, he would basically need to throw shutouts the rest of the way. He's damaged goods. If the Angels, Phillies, and especially the Dodgers can't fix you, then I think you're done.
He's literally listed on the IL. Cleveland put him there backdated to July 27.
The Cleveland website shows a transaction to the 15-day IL and that he is on it but also lists him as the starter tonight.
Yeah, ESPN has something screwed up they have him as probable then I have him on the IR just below that. LOL.
MLB.com lists the Indians putting him on the IL and assigning him to the minors, but has him listed as probable starter for tonight, too
Cleveland traded for him while he was on the IL so as soon as it was official he was moved to Cleveland's IL. He was rehabbing for LA (KC) in July. He's pitching tonight.

You joke but I think we need to hold Maldy so he's not going to a competitor to give away some secrets. Maybe Crane can give him a retirement package and hire him as bench coach as soon as the season ends.
Which part 2015? Giving away secrets or keeping him around in a coaching capacity? I like the idea of Maldy in the coaching room.
Forgot to take the second sentence out. The first part is a reason why.
And trust me, my guess is as good as everyone else's, but the vast majority of pitchers on the staff are very vocal about wanting him to start when they pitch.

Then the vast majority of pitchers like losing more. It's clear they do worse with him behind the plate.
I feel like posting this on baseball reddit just to start a whole new "They're obviously cheating!" ****storm
Yeah, like I said, my guess is as good as everyone else's.
Like I said earlier...It's just people skills that Maldy is good at.
He is so good at communicating he makes you think you're better off with him. Before you know it you're asking him to catch you.

He should start a cult when he retires
The @astros are 170-48 (.780) in games in which Yordan Alvarez has reached base multiple times.

That is the best team record for a player in such games in MLB's modern era (min. 200 games), supplanting Joe Collins (210-63, .769), who played for the Yankees from 1948 to 1957. pic.twitter.com/QRv7b36TGQ
And Kwan. I only know because of fantasy baseball, but he put up a .904 OPS in July.3B Paul 97 said:
Let's get down to .5 game back tonight.
Will Thor continue his struggles or will this game be the springboard to a 2024 Cy Young run?
Can we keep Ramirez and Naylor quiet in the series? They seem to carry the offense.
Every game left will be critical in the playoff chase.

So we should bat him 5th so that he gets less at bats and less chances to get on multiple times?
Incredible.
Our 6u softball coaches know to bat your best players near the top so they get more ABs.

Not only that but how many pitchers out there are decent to pretty good but their weakness is they start slow so you want to try to jump on them early. That has to describe at least 1/3 of decent pitchers so WTF would you want your best hitter to possible not have a chance at that ambush?tjack16 said:linkdude said:The @astros are 170-48 (.780) in games in which Yordan Alvarez has reached base multiple times.

Yes, if they hit him early the 5th guy comes up but how many times do we have a couple of line outs and a walk and a Breggy pop-up to end the 1st with Yordan leading off the 2nd. It's so disheartening.
Civale has two more years of club control. Manzardo is the No. 37 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline and No. 69 in Baseball America's most updated rankings. https://t.co/J4wYi8P2uZ

Manzardo is ranked 31 overall on fangraphs, in the baseball prospectus top 50, and 37 on MLB.texasaggie2015 said:BREAKING: #Rays acquire RHP Aaron Civale from #Guardians for 1B prospect Kyle Manzardo

He's having a downish year in 2023 at age 23 in AAA, but he absolutely mashed in '21 and '22.
Would anyone do Gilbert for Aaron Civale? He's in year 5 and has topped 100 IP once in 2021.
The more time passes, the more I am convinced that it is a comfort thing not manifesting in reality anymore.texasaggie2015 said:

I think Maldy continues to contribute MAJOR value in game preparation in the pitchers/catchers room, which carries its value over even into Diaz starts.
Therefore, that value is happening whether he plays or not - it is neutral as to which player is on the field. In every on the field attribute, Diaz is now the better player.
This is why I concur that finding a way for Maldonado to retire and move onto the coaching staff in the offseason would be the best possible outcome.
While I feel the same about Brantley, I get the sense that he may not be ready to hang them up yet, as his decline is injury related, not ability related.
So just a fun thought here... we are looking for a cheap lefty bat.
Why not go get Tyler Naquin from the Brewers Triple-A team for cash. He would be a cheap lefty who has a career hitting in the mid .200s at the MLB level. Can play all the outfield positions, and is hitting .286 in triple A.
Doesn't seem like a terrible option for a lefty plug and play.

Jake Cousins made nine major-league appearances this season in Milwaukee. He had been dealing with a shoulder injury, but went on a rehab assignment two weeks ago.
