    I bet Shewmake is wishing he would’ve gone to Nashville. This would be his spot.
  2. DonBarclay
    I find it interesting when a guy like Shewmake elects free agency rather than staying with a club that has such little infield depth that they had to acquire him to begin with. Fastest path back to the bigs would have been waiting on an injury in Milwaukee.
  3. DonBarclay
    This lineup will be something to monitor for the next 20 minutes. An Adams scratch would say a lot about the length of time they’re thinking this will take and the health of Joey.
  4. DonBarclay
    Really hope Joey O isn’t down for anything passed today. Can’t have Hamilton as the every day SS, or this cat at 3B.
  5. DonBarclay
    Pratt being the one to IL is a surprise. Hopefully precaution as hamstrings can linger.
  6. DonBarclay
    How about a Luke Adams start at 3B if Ortiz goes IL?
  7. DonBarclay
    Looks like Jett got injured AGAIN. So he’s definitely not an option it would seem.
  8. DonBarclay
    Jett just had his first game action in a month tonight, I don’t think he’s the guy if that MRI comes back with bad news. Makes more sense to pull up Adams. Hamilton can be the backup SS, and is already getting the bulk of 3B innings.
  9. DonBarclay
    We’re going to be well acquainted with Lyon Richardson tonight. Wonder who they bring up tomorrow after he’s DFA’d for taking one on the chin here.
  10. DonBarclay
    Bases loaded 2-2 to a walk is an absolute joke.
  11. DonBarclay
    Is that the best catch of Chourio’s career thus far? Might have some recency bias blinding me.
  12. DonBarclay
    I could’ve lived with Bryse coming in in the 5th and just getting pounded. This is all the more infuriating that he pitched great and for whatever reason, Murphy was unable to make the obvious decision to go to him.
  13. DonBarclay
    I thought he was hollering at Hamilton.
  14. DonBarclay
    If Wilson sneezed, he’d be on the IL to bring Stallings back.
  15. DonBarclay
    Refreshing to see someone bust it down the line. Even Pratt looked like he was going 90% on that double play, drives me insane.
  16. DonBarclay
    Apparently the same reason Joey O is.
  17. DonBarclay
    There was just no reason at all not to turn this game over to Bryse. That’s really poor management. Drohan got really unlucky this inning, but the point remains.
  18. DonBarclay
    Pitchers are going to not have it on occasion. He’s been really solid lately. That’s baseball.
  19. DonBarclay
    Jojo Romero will be up too. Anderson is buried a bit, only an injury type replacement after the deadline moves. And you shrink your staff for the postseason, so even if you could argue to call Sproat up in September for the bullpen (and I don’t think you can), he’s not making a playoff roster. Let him work on stuff in AAA and come back in 2027. There’s actually zero reason for him to be back up this year. If two starters were to go down, they should call up Crow before Sproat.
  20. DonBarclay
    Ugh. What a brutal loss for Toronto. Would’ve been nice to go back up 6.5
  21. DonBarclay
    Mitchell batting 3rd is like having a great blackjack shoe but not pressing your bet until the next shoe, then you lose it all very quickly.
  22. DonBarclay
    I don’t think he should be anywhere near a playoff roster. Your bullpen really shrinks in the postseason, and he’s not earned that spot at all. Come back next season ready to succeed in the rotation.
  23. DonBarclay
    I would imagine it’s multiple fronts. The agent has some leverage - steer players away from clubs that “abuse” (I use that term very loosely) arms. Organizational reputation amongst players matters, again for FA purposes. Media can be worked by players and agents. Analytics probably say that using guys on short rest and going through lineups 4 times are bad strategy. And at the end of the day, an organization wants to reasonably do what is right for the player as well. The days of CC 2008 usage are all but over.
  24. DonBarclay
    Gotta get him into scoring position so the K brothers can swing at sliders 9” out of the zone.
  25. DonBarclay
    He also has a 4.81 home ERA in Colorado and a 2.57 on the road for the season. Getting out of Coors should be very helpful for him.
