Yesterday at his postgame press conference, TLR said of Abreu's injury: "You can bet your fortune he's playing tomorrow in Minnesota".
We can't trust Tony LaRussa, and he should never gamble!!!
I dont know if Mercedes has been doing this all year and I didnt notice, but he seems to swing at every single pitch no matter how bad it is. Thats catching up with him now.
Madrigal refused to run for 1st after the dropped 3rd stoke in the first game yesterday. Steve should turn his ire toward him instead. Not a good look!
Really? Why would they put their worst starter out there to begin the playoffs regardless of whether or not he's pitching well. We are blessed with an abundance of good pitchers right now. Giolito had a spectacular 2019 and 2 month 2020 season. The other half of his career is not so good.
They can have Kopech go 5 innings max each game then. It would be no different from a Giolito start in that respect except that less runs will be allowed.
