    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    He could come up and struggle and be an improvement over Valdez right now. I’m guessing Valdez will get sent to AAA over Blizzard. There’s certain types of hitters who will struggle but need to get their reps in against ML starters to adjust and ones that need more AAA seasoning. Rafaela is...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    This is the likely route too, and the one that makes the most sense with fewer moving parts

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I’m guessing they’re hoping to keep it available for potential midseason additions

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Hopefully a team in playoff competition edit- or the Dodgers and he will turn into a BP ace

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Good call. Assuming Uwasawa gets a start then likely sent back down for Pivetta

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    well having Devers back at 3rd upgrades Reyes to Yoshida. Grissom will be replacing Valdez shortly. Cora appears to value Dalbec’s D at 1B over Ref’s offensive upside and lack of experience at 1B. just wish a media member would ask…

    But he did have a full season pitching as a multi-inning relief ace in which he didn’t break down. He hasn’t as a starter.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    Geez…. I can’t think that this a good long term thing. Advice being - swing easier so it doesn’t happen again, is basically- don’t be good at what you’re good at doing

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I’m asking based on the assumption that Whitlock is showing he’ll spend half his service time on the DL if he’s a starter. So yes… a downgrade from him to Winckowski is likely but you’re hoping to keep Whitlock as a steady and very good bullpen arm. I think the best situation would have been...

    I’m wondering what others think about switching up the Winckowski and Whitlock roles when Garret returns

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Has any member of the press asked Cora about Refsnyder at 1B? He played there in ST…. Presumably for this exact situation. Cora apparently either forgot or the experience was horrifying. I can’t find game logs, but it appears in limited time there he didn’t destroy the team.

    I know of course…. But the record is essentially what matters at the end of the year. Looks like Pivetta is returning shortly and Criswell looks pretty good. Grissom will be better than Valdez (right???…. RIGHT?!?!?). Devers should be back and hopefully Dalbec will be gone. I don’t think it’s...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    The team is currently 3 games back in the ALE lead. .5 back in the WC playing with a decimated roster with some players about to return. I know they often look terrible but every team other than the Braves have had embarrassing games. I’m impressed by how competitive they actually have played...

    Joely Rodríguez - Lefty No Outs Guy

    Great stuff. Bad results. Really don’t want him on this team anymore. He’s the new Ort

    April 26--I hate the Cubs

    REALLY hoping this is the last series with both Reyes and Valdez in the lineup. I mean…. Obviously Dalbec too, but unless Cora remembers that Refsnyder can play 1B, he’s parked there for likely the next 2 months
