This ump is a double sided dildo.

I disagree, respectfully, of course.

That AB was poor but he walked and stole a base previously.

Kolton Kowser.

Take the walk Cowser!

Holliday should be up and he should be playing everyday, but make no mistake, stuff like this is going to happen while he learns on the job.

Tony Kemp makes that catch, ez. He made a harder one last night.

Phrasing!

There is no chance I'd give up Mayo for a RP.

If Langford and Carter started off the season like Jung last year, we probably wouldn't be seeing Holliday this early. Carter is warming up but he doesn't have insurmountable stats at this point for the ROY.

I think you have much more reason to game service time with a pitcher than you do a bat, have to take into consideration the possibility of losing them for a year for TJS. lol.

I would have traded him for someone like Cease if we didn't get Burnes. Doesn't mean I think he was a bust, though, almost certainly some of our prospects will bust.

Hopefully, he can afford the tickets, prices are crazy right now.

I would put the odds at about 0% that Rubenstein had anything to do with this.

No, I don't. I think regular playing time is the reason he was down there and they wanted to see how he started. That was in reply to why he wasn't in Boston today. They have a dozen other options to keep him down if they wanted to wait 3 more days to game his service time and they aren't using them, so personally, I've ruled that out as an option.

I hear if you pee on a COVID test it makes it positive. It's not a great exit strategy, but it's an exit strategy!

They might have floated something to Boras and figured they had no chance so they are just going to YOLO it too, I guess.

It is a little strange but I would be completely blown away if they have an extension in place for him.

If they are gaming service time why not just stick with Mateo/Kemp/Urias for 3 days and call up a retread?

Right now the front runners are doing horribly, so there is that.

If Westy was injured they would have just put Mateo at 2B and left Urias at 3B for 3 more days. Conspiracy theories abound.

Rumors on X are that Holliday said he wasn't coming up unless they went back to it.

Probably the most accurate post ever on the OH. It just sucks that you thought of it and I had to rep you.

Because he went up against a LHP tonight and held his own? They probably wanted him to get reps against LHP, nothing more nefarious.

He's not in Boston now, he's probably still in the shower after his game in Scranton. I bet he's in Boston for tomorrow.
