The pitcher who was let out of jail, threw a complete game, then went back to jail
By 1931, the Marin County court system was sick of dealing with Tony Freitas.
Sure, the young pitcher for the Pacific Coast League's Sacramento Senators was becoming a star. He went 19-6 with a 3.24 E...

I mean whatever, put a catcher in that spot. But the Luis Matos spot is super intriguing... Marco Luciano, Jerar Encarnacion, Matos, no options: pick your defensively-challenged right-hander! Want contact, power, or youth? Can't have even two of those things in one guy.
knizner is gone and they are shopping Matos.

Tyler Fitzgerald has an option, new Giant Joey Wiemer does not. So I suppose the bench right now is all righties: Knizner, Koss, Wiemer, and Luis Matos (who is also out of options). If Matos could play a decent CF, they wouldn't need another OF on bench. This will probably change again. #Buildabench

How much did Emmanuel Clase’s alleged actions cost the Cleveland Guardians?
The difference between a 1-0 count and an 0-1 count is equivalent to the difference between facing Mike Trout and Luis Rengifo.
