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

I think Breggy got screwed there. No replay tho.

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?

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.

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.

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.

No idea of that's true - but if it is, the choice is clear and we need a new 3rd baseman.
