Outman, Gasper, Fitzgerald.  Really really unserious organization.

[karcherd]

The Tigers are moving Paddack to the bullpen after only 6 starts.  Another example of how most organizations operate, they expect results.  And if they don't get results, they move to other options.  

The Twins still trot out Gasper in their lineup as a catcher no less.  He has one good game in his career but sure the Twins and their excellent development staff will turn him into a above average player.

Jeffers is looking pretty run down.  I'm surprised they didn't let Gasper go Sunday or Monday.

Gasper shouldn't even be on a major league roster.  Give Cardenas a shot at least he is a catcher.

Pereda was up but sat. They are who they are. 

 

Just saw Festa is done for 2025. Dwindling.

Cardenas has some serious defensive issues going on. Better than Gasper??? I understand the disappointment though.

Gasper = GOAT

Again a serious organization would not entertain the thought of Gasper on this roster especially as a catcher.  I don't care if it is Pereda or Cardenas or some other minor leaguer.  But enough with Gasper.

Anyone but Gasper, he does not belong on a major league roster and a serious organization would not have him on their roster.

[Parfigliano]

Watching the NYM v DET I just learned that DET is 21-25 over their last 46 games and still have a 9 game lead in the pitiful AL Central Division.

[Patzky]

Can't imagine a ton of people will be drawn tonight, but it is 🐶 at the Park night.

Vegas sets O/U on CB missed calls tonight at .5

[Patzky]

Gawd he has no out pitch at all .

When it mattered, you couldn't get Baldelli off his "catchers go every other day, no exceptions" management mantra with a court order.

But when it doesn't matter, "throw Ryan back there 5 days a week."

A serious organization wouldn't be limited to those options.

Exactly. Hammer the over.

Thought there would be a sellout with Gasper in the lineup. He’s kind of reminds me of Johnny Bench maybe Carlton Fisk. I can’t decide.

[USAFChief]

Triples are funner than HRs.

Mike Piazza and Johnny Bench would be every other day with Baldelli.

And Cal Ripken would have off days scheduled in January.

Wallner is hilarious!

Feels like Ben Nintendo has been playing for 30 years at least.
