What do you all think we should do with Lopez?  I know he cant pitch for us in the post season.  But he is a free agent after the season.  Is this correct?  I say we should offer him a minor/major league contract and let him prove he can get people out in Norfolk and then we might bring him up.  

I'm sure the Os would like him back but not on a ML deal.  Need to save 40-man space for the keepers.

He is a FA in '25. He will need to be DFA and then passed through waivers. I figured we would keep him and try to fix him, otherwise would have just made sense to pursue minor league contract in the off-season. Then again, neither plan makes a whole lot of sense.

I was just looking at Google News on my phone and they have an article showing Adley and Gunnar are under the weather the day after winning East title and it shows them doing a beer bong with the homer hose.  LOL.  I guess no one thinks they are really sick.

It was rumored today that Gibson was watching the celebration via video call because he was sick. If that's really true, there might be something going around the clubhouse. Hopefully not Covid.

    • If he has been injured all this time, why are they still letting him play? After a month of poor performance with an injury, they should have sat him. EDIT - Screw a month, 2 weeks.
    • And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.
    • I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.  
    • IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.
    • I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.
    • ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....
    • Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
