I think they should put Scott on the IL for a break when they add Neris.

Sure, but I thought the argument was about extending him 10 years and his OF play being subpar shows how he'll age.
Another left handed bat?
Sources: The Dodgers have designated Jason Heyward for assignment.

Heyward was useful vs. RHP as recently as last year (.276/.347/.471) and is an upgrade in Cabbage’s role as a left-handed bench OF, IMO. https://t.co/6HSsL66vOV

We are responsible for getting more managers fired than any other team I can remember.
Sorry, I wasn't commenting on an extension for Yordan. There is zero reason to talk about an extension when he has four years left on his deal taking him into middle age.
I was merely commenting on the CBA of Yordan playing LF.

Heyward vs. Gamel (Cabbage doesn't marter as Gamel already knocks him out of the equation) is a fascinating question of upside vs. predictability.
I would argue Gamel is more of a predictable commodity now: slightly below average production in a corner OF spot (which would be an upgrade over what we have).
Heyward has higher upside as a playoff exprrienced veteran who has produced more, but been worse this year. Is he a case of age 35 decline, or is it a blip along a slower decline?
In a vacuum, I would probably opt for Heyward, but with Gamel already on the team, I don't know that he moves the needle enough to make another move.

Corbin Burnes on the mound for the Orioles tonight
he's had a very good season -- 3.10 ERA
but a very bad month of August
So in other words we're gonna make him look like a Cy-Young pitcher....great just great.
I think Farmer advocated in the offseason of taking a look at Heyward.
I'd rather have his bat than Gamel's.

Good memory. He hasn't exactly worked out. But right now we just need okay. I'd trust him over what we have now.

Me too. The guy is one season removed from .813 OPS in 124 games.Farmer1906 said:

This year, he's been inconsistent with fewer than 200 PAs in 63 games.

What took the Mariners so long to fire Servais? Should have fired him after last season

Joe isnt paying attention.
With Alex having to be dh how do we get both caratini and Diaz in the lineup at the same time?
Yeah I don't get why Jon is on the roster if he isn't basically an auto start against RHPMathguy64 said:I hate it. RHP, it should be Big Jon every time.Ags #1 said:

I thought it was more, but Diaz has started at first 3 games this year.EastCoastAgNc said:Ags #1 said:

For your Dusty comment, he started at first in 7 games last year, played a total of 8 games at first.
The question is which split do you want?Ags #1 said:

Jon vs RHP, Caratini vs RHP or Diaz vs RHP? You only get 2.
Caratini is very good vs RHP and so is Diaz. Better than Jon. But the defense gets worse with Diaz at 1B.
Its a tradeoff.
Penn Murfee was returned from his rehab assignment with what the Astros described as “a reoccurrence of right elbow discomfort.”

This is quickly becoming an annoying trend
Am I the only person here who didnt know Ben Gamel was on our team?

We are going to be giving out a lot of World Series rings with the collection of players that have been on the team this season.
tough next 7 games if we go 4-3, good chance to hold onto our lead and solidify our position as likely division winner. It won't be easy....just have to avoid 2-5 or 1-6.
after watching little league for the last 20 mins, I don't think I'll complain about mlb umpires again
but holy smokes, the game needs robo umps across the board

The Astros will expose Alex Bregman to first base soon in hopes that they can get him playing somewhere defensively, Joe Espada said. It is a possibility he sees action there on this road trip.

Alex presents a small target at 1B. Listed at 6' but I think he's closer to 5' 10". Slightly concerning I think
