It’s what I would do. Keep him down until May next season to gain the extra year. If we’re going to have him on Opening Day 2021, then he should absolutely come up now as there’s no difference. But since they haven’t brought him up I’d assume AA wants that extra year of control and will play the...

I think you’re confusing terms there on the Super 2 issue. Super 2 is beneficial for a player in that it allows them to reach arbitration faster than waiting the full 3 season. If we bring Pache up now, rather than waiting until the service time cut off date at the beginning of next season, we’d...

Neck should be batting lead off.

I like that plan. It would be fair in this silly season. Cards fans won’t like it, but they’ve had enough breaks in the past decade, they can enjoy getting ****ed over for once.

I doubt Manfred has a plan at this point. He’s probably hoping they get in as close to 60 games as they can and, because it’s the Cardinals, they’ll sneak into the playoffs (and eliminate us) with less games played. But in reality, I can’t see them playing even 40 games at this point. There’s...

Would be very shocked if Folty is still with us next year. Unless he agrees to a $1M or under deal in his final year of arbitration I can’t see us bringing him back.

Don’t forget Chris Martin going on the IL with esophageal constriction...

Trick question...Newk walks in the 4th run with his 3rd walk of the game.

The audio cuts out when a player curses. TBS is on a 7 second delay. Ozuna just struck out and yelled a curse, so TBS cut the audio.

He can’t be activated before 9/4 (that’s assuming we backdated his 45 day IL to 7/20, otherwise he’s not eligible to be activated until 9/7).

Not quite sure what you’re asking as the question doesn’t really make sense. If you’re asking why don’t they just play with minor leaguers and let the positive players sit out, they were cancelling the games because they weren’t sure of the severity of the outbreak and most of the team was...

So instead we’d have to waste someone’s option or DFA someone to bring him up just for 1 7-inning game? I think not. Plus, it’s not 1 game worth of service time. It’s prorated for the shortened season.

If Riley was on another team, would anyone here want him on the Braves? I sure wouldn’t. We all try to see the bright side of him because while he’s got his faults, he’s a Brave, but I doubt there are any teams out there beating down the door for him.

Next to zero percent chance. No need to start his clock for this season. Duvall-Acuna-Markakis one game, Riley/Ozuna-Acuna-Markakis the second.

Snit said before the game last night he was going to role with this outfield combo for a while now.

Things must have gotten wild in the clubhouse celebrating the win last night.

We have an abundance of OFs this season, why burn a year of control on Pache now? Keep him down until after the Super 2 date next season. And you know Markakis will be starting every game for the rest of the season (and batting 5th). So between Acuna and Markakis, 2 of the 3 spots are filled...

The problem is, Riley and Wright each have issues. And they’re well known issues at the MLB level at this point. Think of the trade the other way, if we had Chapman, with 3 years of control left, would you trade him for that crappy return? I absolutely wouldn’t. It would totally take Pache...

He’s still pre-arb and almost at 20 career WAR already. It’s going to take a ****-ton more than Riley to get him from the A’s. It would take a Pache package most likely to pry him away.

Wonder if we will actually play Camargo at 2B or if Snit will just use Hech for 10 days straight?
