Kikuchi at 74 pitches. Sheesh.
40 thru 2.
If JV is on the WC roster I personally find that absurd.
You won't even use your 5th starter in a 3 game series and possibly not even your 4th SP. Carrying extra BP guys much more important
Id also much rather carry an emergency catcher to give us flexibility with how we use Diaz. Add in the yordan injury and we need to carry as many position players as possible so we don't pigeon hole ourselves late in games on how we shuffle OF/1B/DH and catcher spots in particular. JV doesn't need to be on the WC roster
ALDS is a different conversation but also depends on how JV looks in his last start

Kirby at 42 thru 2.
I think Breggy got screwed there. No replay tho.

Big Jon has wheels!
I woulda missed the ball too knowing Big John was coming at full speed.
7nine
Wonder if Kikuchi has a pitch or innings limit today. It would great to get him through 5 with a lead.
Good on Joe for taking Bregman out like that. A standing o on maybe his final game at home.
Pulled Breggy?
He got a standing o by the fans, but why'd they pull him?

TO THE DROP ZONE!!!
EXTEND BREGMAN
just saying it's no coincidence that as soon as he heated up (June), the team starting winning and making their comeback

After Altuve's statements, I don't think Crane wants to be the villain and let him go.tjack16 said:

They actually pulled him early, so the fans could acknowledge what may be his last regular season home game.
The thing about Breggy is, compared to what it may cost to retain him, he may not be worth it projecting forward from a purely statistical standpoint.tjack16 said:

On the other hand, I highly doubt it would be possible to replace what he brings both offensively and defensively at a lower price point.
My advice to Crane would be to extend Bregman AND give Tucker a long-term contract; just embrace the reality of becoming an upper-tier luxury tax team for as long as we can maintain our status as a legitimate World Series contender.
If/when we need to do a complete rebuild that is the time to penny pinch.
Also, J-Rod was being a little bisch, and yelling at the ump. Since there hasn't been a single called strike against him in this game, you have to assume it's because he was mad about the game being stopped during his last AB.
He's wanting a ton of money, and they'll have to pay Tucker too. I don't see how they can keep both, but I won't mind being wrong.Texaggie7nine said:After Altuve's statements, I don't think Crane wants to be the villain and let him go.tjack16 said:

No idea of that's true - but if it is, the choice is clear and we need a new 3rd baseman.
Kikuchi through 5 with a lead.
And not Whitcomb. Thankfully he can hit.
Damn, I hope we see today's Kikuci in the postseason.

I know, I know!
Just seemed odd it was so early.

Man Whitcomb just cant stop proving that he is not ready to be the 3rd basemen of the future lol
Honestly surprised Kikuchi is back out there for the 6th.
I missed it. What did Altuve say last night?Texaggie7nine said:After Altuve's statements, I don't think Crane wants to be the villain and let him go.tjack16 said:

Go get Kikuchi, Joe.
Paywall
Sparks just mentioned the pen being shorthanded.
I have a feeling they bring in Ort
