Yeah and he doesn't catch, so comparing him to Caratini is kinda moot. You need two catchers.

e. Also you can't have Bryant play RF regularly unless you don't play Heyward's contract, and that isn't happening. Could move Heyward's contract to CF I guess but then you can't play Almora often and gently caress that.

Heyward doesn't need 500+ plate appearances. Candelario didn't need to start, just be a guy who could backup at 1B and 3B, pinch-hitting, and getting a start a couple days a week. Having good backups is better than having a lovely reliever who doesn't belong in the majors.

At some point Justin "loving" Wilson was going to be used today, it's a double header. So you can't really blame Joe for waiting until extra innings.

Why not let Duensing pitch 2 innings? Or let Cishek throw the next inning? Feels like micromanaging those good relievers put the Cubs in a position where they had to throw trash out in a meaningful moment.

He's their best first basemen and best outfielder. This is probably a red flag in one way or another

Putting 2018 Greg Holland into a high-leverage situation should legit be a fireable offense.

It was really nice of Matheney to follow Maddon's example and make a terrible high leverage bullpen decision that ultimately lost the game. Keeps the division interesting when nobody can pull ahead of anybody after all.

So it’s a home run if it bounces off Canseco’s head and into the stands but if it bounces off the lower ledge of the bullpen fence and bounces out it’s a double? How the gently caress does that make sense?

How is that not a home run. I'd love to see the rule that says one way or another.

I've always understood the wall to be the same as the ground in that sense whereas players aren't. I have nothing to back this up other than believing it for a long time and the ruling that just happened though.
