Agreed. I like how leyva is helping transition into the final third and often getting guys the ball in space. But really need to find a second before RSL finds a way back into this

I'm not any happier about it than you are

Think this is the frame AFTER contact and the heel is still back. I complained live but I think he timed it well.

No. Was at G1. Will be at G4 Thursday

I'm not sure I get that unless they think woo can be ready for G2 but not G1, and they like Miller more than Hancock?

I'm not sure I get what scenario makes Miller the best option. If he goes 1, are you just back to Kirby or Gilbert for G2?

Woo-Miller-Kirby -Gilbert-Castillo -woo-Kirby

Unless woo can't go. Then... Uh... Hancock Miller Kirby Gilbert Castillo and maybe you're going Kirby Gilbert on short rest?

No problem! Just gotta ask your resident guardians fan who lives in Seattle and is therefore a Mariners season ticket holder 🤣
chadyoung.bsky.social
The caveat here is if Wilson and co have reason to believe one of those two will be more useful in relief. Like if they think they can start Castillo and go to Kirby later but Castillo simply can't relieve? Fine. But all things equal, gimme Kirby

Gimme Kirby over Castillo

I have been in stores in Portland recently. They exist. Have windows and everything.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

This is just a crappy knock off of the ice cream nachos my kids get at T-Mobile Park. It has less ice cream, no chocolate ice cream, and no dipping sauce. Lame.

I don't get going to Sabrowski here. Didn't you go to a RHP for the bottom of the order and have Sabrowski for Carpenter through Greene whenever that happens?

Brewers at 8 is worse to me than Mariners at 1. I assume the issue is TV related but it's pretty dumb imo
chadyoung.bsky.social
I don't think it's a problem having playoff games at 1 on a Saturday (or even a weekday for these WC games) because you want to stagger the games. That said, if you want a game at 4 ET and another at 9 ET, why not have the Brewers at 3 local and the Mariners at 5 local instead of the Brewers at 8?

It’s so dumb how playoff games are at 1
chadyoung.bsky.social
I have tickets to game 1 and I can't go if it's at 1 so MLB has turned me into a Yankees fan and I'll never forgive them

I guess? But someone had to play RF and he's as good as option as any

If I had a vote for manager of the year, it'd be Vogt. That said...

I didn't understand Noel at 1B. Would have let him DH with Manzardo at 1B.

Don't think I'd have nerve to throw DeLauter in CF when he hasn't played there this year.

OTOH, this team isn't actually good. go take some risks.
chadyoung.bsky.social
I literally just said to someone else "and also we literally don't have a CF on the roster so..."

🤣
chadyoung.bsky.social
Delauter in CF is a little crazy to me but ok fine let's get crazy
chadyoung.bsky.social
Hedges has been great for like a week so maybe he's good now!
chadyoung.bsky.social
I mean, to be fair, maybe having your LH future star OF make his MLB debut in a playoff game against the best LHSP in baseball isn't ideal? I guess?
chadyoung.bsky.social
Booooooooooooooooooo
chadyoung.bsky.social
I was a series too early...

Cannot wait to see Delauter debut!
chadyoung.bsky.social
Delauter is set to play AFL and I believe he needs to be added to the 40 man this off-season ( @jlbaseball.bsky.social can you confirm) and I know it's a longshot and probably crazy but if he's ready and we need a bat to replace Fry...
chadyoung.bsky.social
What are the chances he's in the lineup today? Feels risky perhaps but also he's arguably the third best hitter on this roster.
