Nearing the trading deadline, this team doesn't need outfielders. It needs at least one decent arm in the bullpen. I would prefer two, but that is asking too much. Engel is built like an Ox. Just had to figure out how to put bat on ball. Great player he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is available...better than Kimbrel? Yeah we need another solid arm. Bummer and Marshall will hopefully get the job done as well. But we need a solid 8th inning guy to stop the 8th inning foolery, and a 2nd baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love kimbrel Imagine having kimbrel and hendriks for 7th/8th/9th in a playoff game with Bummer/Heuer/crotchet to cover 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, absolutely every contender can use more pitching. Um, it was a joke poking fun at the Cease plus for Peterson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Just realized there is no game until Friday. Miss the historical Thursday restart to the season. CBA allows for one Thursday post ASG game (teams can only be scheduled once for this within the years of the CBA contract). Should be specialty game like the Iowa game, a game in Cooperstown or somewhere else, rather than yet another installment of Red Sox Yankees in the Bronx. Better Schedule: Sunday - All MLB games start at 3 EDT, 2 CDT (like the final regular season day schedule). Futures game played at 7 EDT (currently played when all other games are going on). Monday - Celebrity or Old Timers Game followed by the HR Derby Tuesday - All Star Game Wednesday / Thursday - MLB Draft Take advantage of the full five day window.

YoYoIsMyHero Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but here's the rotation for the weekend. Would assume Kopech/Keuchel for the DH and Lynn Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
