    One of baseball's most punchable faces has been fired.

    he's not as bad as people make him out to be.

    but he's also never that good.

    Phillies fired their manager in 2022 and then went on a huge heater. Let's hope the same doesn't happen here.

    Yes- in the WC round (we are never in it- ha!) and the divisional round it's generally 11 pitchers. In the 7 game series round it's 12.
    My likely staff for October:

    WIld card/Divisional
    Starters (in this order)
    Framber/Brown/JV/Kikuchi
    Bullpen (mostest to leastest)
    Hader/Abreu/Presley/Neris/Blanco/Arrighetti/Scott

    12th add- King or Turd Ferguson (ugh- freaking LHP nonsense)

    Bro hit a huge pinch-hit homer off the bench to beat the Mariners and then got DFA'd a few days later. Should Dana make a call?

    I was hoping they would keep Servais. I don't think he was that good.

    I think Christian Walker would be my preferred free agent signing as long as the price is reasonable

    Indeed, though it does create a present and future third baseman problem

    He's a better version of Gamel.

    Not at all, I just think he belongs as the DH that’s all. Every time I see him running towards a wall to make a catch my butt puckers

    Ditto - like tonight galloping full steam ahead straight towards that death trap corner in left/center at Camden Yards.

    You cant live in fear.

    He was solid out in LF tonight and the team put up 6 runs. Gamel was the player of the game. I'm hoping he can be a league avg OF. That way Espada wont be tempted by the illusion of Chas.
