They likely have the option to skip Matz if they choose, due to scheduled off days. Not sure if they will. He's been pitching pretty good. Won today.Quote:

Then leaves Tomlin in with 2 runners on for Cruz. Managed to only give up 1 run there, but still 2 runners on for Sano and Tomlin still throwing. HR to close score to 4 runs and more drama.
Great series for us.
Sad we had to burn thru Martin and Melancon but good win.
I agree, Jackson always gives up runners so he is not someone you bring on to get out of a jam. He needs to come in with no one on and be given clean innings.Quote:

Snit just said Riley is having some knee issues, is heading to the IL, and will be checked by our doctors and will also get a second opinion. Snit said he hurt it during a warmup. Could be some truth to the reddit poster.
This part is correct. Assuming we pick up the options on Muk, Flowers and Teheran and bring back McCann at 5M and Donaldson at 25M, our opening day payroll would be around 130M. So this 28-32 we have to spend would effectively be exhausted by bringing back McCann and Donaldson on those terms. We could create some flexibility by not bringing back some of the guys on options or trading players away.Quote:
