    That's why I said, I'd rather have Wallner, for all you stated. I'd rather him up and hitting, because we need hitting. But, this is also the game. Players go up and down. While not what I would have done, it's not out of the realm of 'ordinary', and I don't think it sends a negative message to prospects as the poster I quoted stated.

    I posted this in the injuries update thread, but it’s pertinent here, too. Looks like no IL trip for now. But this tweet also signals they aren’t likely to go with 12 pitchers as @Hosken Bombo Disco suggested. If they do end up putting him on the IL not sure who there is to take his place. Trades need to happen, yet is it too soon for that?
  3. Squirrel
    You are correct. Here’s the full transaction:

    I’d rather have Wallner but it don’t think it sends a negative message, imo. I’m hoping Kepler is gone in a month or so, though.

    Keep in mind he had to use his rifle arm because he misplayed a catchable ball. It worked out, because he has that arm. But we need his bat. I said in another thread about that same play. I’d rather have the bat and sacrifice a bit of the defense. I’m disappointed for Wallner, though, but he’d be sitting on a bench most days. I’m hoping that someone gets traded soon.
  6. Squirrel
    Not suggesting it is. Just trying to figure out how that fits in the moves to come if he moves to the IL
  7. Squirrel
    That was what they said in the game. Maybe I got that wrong. But whether arm or hip flexor, not sure he can stay off the IL
  8. Squirrel
    They said it was a hip flexor injury. But don’t know how serious
  9. Squirrel
    Someone has to be going on the 60-day or Garlick comes off the 40-man
  10. Squirrel
    Oh right. Totally forgot Larnach had pneumonia. I think Hosken’s suggestion has merit. Try one less pitcher. Although, until Pagán is put on the IL we are already down one
  11. Squirrel
    You think Larnach will go down when Polanco is ready? Not Solano.
  12. Squirrel
    Maybe some good news will help …

    Just to point out … Gordon is 27, Castro and Larnach are 26, Kirilloff and Wallner are 25, then Miranda and Julien are 24 and Lewis is 23. I’m not sure at what age cutoff is young. I hear it all the time ‘our young guys’ … what’s young? Is Larnach young at 26, but Gordon isn’t at 27? Correa is 28, Gallo, Buxton and Polo are all 29 and Max is the ripe old age of 30. That aside, I want the best out there. I care more about how they are playing than whether or not they’re our ‘young guys.’ I’m actually not sure where Miranda fits, tbh, but the way he’s playing, that may not be a worry. Is he still young enough at 24? I think we are at the end of the road with Gordon, but not sure how tradable he is right now with his injury. So, Castro, if he can keep up what he’s doing, putting together some good hits and playing well enough all over the place, I do think he supplants Gordon as our 26th-man/super-utility player. Whenever Gordon comes back from injury, we’ll see where he and Castro are at. Castro played well yesterday, but where will he be in a week?

    Typical of baseball to have weirdness
  15. Squirrel
    Before his recent injury he was hitting pretty well. A well-hitting Kepler is a better defender, so … don’t know
  16. Squirrel
    Squirrel is not blind. Just sayin’ 🙂
  17. Squirrel
    I think there will be some tough decisions ahead as players come off the IL. I’m willing to give up some on defense to have the much needed offense. Wallner should have caught that, but, he did get the out with his arm, and provided much needed offense. Not sure I’d swap him for Kepler right now, depending on which Kepler we get back. And I think Castro has earned his spot as the super utility/26th man on the roster. And we need Julian’s bat. Hope they all keep hitting.
  18. Squirrel
    This offense is an offense to baseball. But the pitching is still good.
  19. Squirrel
    The randomness of baseball strikes again
  20. Squirrel
    I'm never confused by some of your analogies ... ever ... 🙈🙉🙊
  21. Squirrel
    I’d say 200%
  22. Squirrel
    Hard to tell, sometimes. Should have known better
  23. Squirrel
    The win for this series was Plouffe in the booth
  24. Squirrel
    I vote no to all three of those
  25. Squirrel
    Most of his injuries didn’t happen while playing in the field
