Exactly who would you trust more than those 2 guys?

Call me crazy, but I feel alot more confident when the ball is in the hands of Bradford than when it's in the hands of Sherrill. Johnson's been tough all year, but it's obvious that he must not be feeling 100% of late as his stuff has generally been off and he's been getting hit around.

Maybe it'd be an OK time to see what Cabrera can do in late inning situations? It's not like he's some young guy new to coming into ballgames in tight situations late.

I swear, if you keep saying that and he screws up you are going to wake up with a horse head in your bed one of these nights...

Hey, it's been OK so far. Last night, my ISP went down for a bit, so I couldn't say it until after he put two guys on... but he got the next 3 guys right after I posted it...

As for Manny, I'll take a weak single any day of the week...

    • I'm not saying the bolded is impossible. But what are the odds of that happening for the rest of this season, even if he were to be called up tomorrow? I'm not sure how much value Moutcastle would have (even if he continues to have a very good season) to a team who is rebuilding/reseting/tanking/whatever you want to call it. Mountcastle would seem to have more value to a team who is trying to win and needs offensive production at 1B/DH. And if they are already trying to win, what pitching are they willing to depart with. The only team I can think of that may fit this mold is SEA. IMO that's way too much to give up for a relief pitcher, considering that we only need a good middle reliever. We don't need Emmanuel Clase for the rest of this season. It looks like Kimbrel will do. And then next year Felix will be coming back.
    • I think Elias' MO is always going to be to squeeze the max potential value out of every asset. If Kjerstad isn't playing well enough to wrest away more than 10 ABs/week from the other players on the roster, then I don't think he stays up. Especially when he'd be tying up a bench spot with a player who can really only play one position in the field. He's going to have to earn a bigger time share to justify his spot. 
    • Well, he either shows something or he doesn't. I don't think he's going anywhere until he shows something. 
    • Means starting tonight for Norfolk. Hopefully he puts some length in his start tonight. Probably his next to last minor league start if they do bring him back up. 
    • I'm not saying that id not possible, but it is certainly not probable. Given the talent gap between Carter and Norby. Again, IMO the greater odds/gain is that Norby is a useful piece in a trade than him becoming the next Evan Carter.
    • That sequence showed why Mateo is on the team. There are much worse things than having him in the 9 spot here and there versus LHP. And when he’s not, he can pinch run and do the exact same thing. It’s why when push comes to shove, and it will soon, it’s Urias’ head on the chopping block and not Jorge’s.    We all know this, but it’s nice to see it demonstrated on the field here and there as a reminder.  
    • We could really use Cease too. The WS had a lineup the other day and I believe everyone or at least 8 guys had a sub 200 BA.
