At this point Gunnar is the most valuable asset in baseball right? I guess you could argue Witt Jr or De La Cruz. I sure as heck wouldn’t trade him for anybody.
O’hearn has to be able to cut the ball off and get the runner out. That’s what a cutoff is for. The play is for that exact circumstance to happy except you get the runner at second.
Small sample size but very reminiscent of Cano last year and almost the same pitch arsenal. When the team really didn’t have anyone to turn to they stepped up.
I agree with the statement but we have to trot out the best 26 at this point. I do not think Elias took this decision lightly. Maybe we find out more on Mountcastle tomorrow. Kjerstad will be pencilled in at DH tomorrow
