Bryce was at an indoor playground in South Jersey yesterday playing with his kids. Wonder if he sent it a bit too hard and tweaked his back there? Source: my son and his babysitter.

He tweaked it a week and a half ago making a tag at first on a pickoff. Doesn't seem to be that bad though if he can still hit

Nah, indoor playground injury makes so much more sense dude. Get real.

Jake Cave is to thomson what vandevelde was to hak. He just cant help himself but play him.

I mean he's been hitting lately... .827 OPS since he was recalled.

I hope Marsh doesn't go hiking. Never run from a bear! Exception: Fozzie.

 

[Rebels57]

With how our starters pitch in the 1st, we might want to start using an opener lol

 

[Magua]

We'll always have the no hitter.

I had this typed.

This isn't going as planned, still a good series though. Too bad they miss Wainwright.

 

[DancingPanther]

A letdown was the lock of the century after a nice win last night. Easiest decision all year to start Cobb in fantasy lol

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Stott should have scored there.

 

[DancingPanther]

BCIB

 

[Rebels57]

MUCIB is the new acronym I will be using going forward

Most Unclutch Catcher In Baseball

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Watching Scwarber kick balls around in the OF is getting old.

 

[DancingPanther]

Tremendous

 

[Rebels57]

How many times have the Giants beaned a Phillie in this series? 4-5?

Guy didnt throw a single strike to Nick and swings at that junk with the bases loaded. I'll never understand it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I would honestly give Schwarber & Castellanos away for free at this point if there was even a team that wanted one of them.

 

[Halladay]

3 more years of Nick. Schwarber not being able to field another routine ball cost them another run.

 

[Tripod]

DeJong homered ? And has 2 hits?

Guy was garbage for Jays...3 hits in 44 at bats: .068 BA

 

[Rebels57]

Anyone else despise catchers that frame the way this catcher does? Pulls pitches nowhere near the zone all the way into the middle. Maldonado is another one that does it. Its an absolute disgrace.

MUCIB goes down again

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Woof.

 

[Rebels57]

Woof.

What happened to JT at the plate? Its baffling

Not happening today.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They up to eight billion LOB this game yet?

When Ohtani leaves and the Angels go into a full rebuild and look to trim payroll would look to move Schwarber or Castellanos and some fringe prospects for Trout (who has a full no trade and can block anything).

If you move Schwarber who has $40M, that basically makes Trout 7 yrs/$208m.
If you move Castellanos who has $60M, that basically makes trout 7 yrs/$188m.

From a flexibility standpoint even if it's $20M less I think moving Schwarber to open up the DH makes the most sense.
