7/29 Eflin debut vs Toronto in game one of DH

Wow, so he got hit in the face and stayed in?

It was so damn frustrating sitting there with Game Day saying "Injury Delay" and nothing more for over 5 minutes and not being able to find out what was happening.   I couldn't ask because of 403s and we went over 11 minutes without any posts getting through so I guess none of you guys could talk about it here either.

Unless there's a catcher on the taxi squad I don't see another catcher making it to OPACY on time. If McCann finishes the game then hopefully nothing happens to Adley in game two.

Baneulos may be on the taxi squad.

Working the freaking 403 issues. Sorry until I get things to propgate.

What doesn't make any sense is I have never once had a 403 issue on this website.    Just using Mozilla and an HP lap top.  Every once in a while an add might pop up when I clicked the 'submit reply' button, but I just clicked the X or close button and it went away.  And I haven't had one of those in a week or so.

He was gushing blood for a long time.  Type of thing that you would not believe if you saw it in a movie.  McCann is hardcore.

Who's the emergency player for this DH?

No such thing as an emergency player.   There is a 27th man added to the roster, Povich, who is starting Game 2.

They might have someone here on the taxi squad which would allow them to make a roster move between games.  Or even if they don't, could someone get here from Norfolk or Bowie before the start of the 2nd game?

It's 4 hours from Norfolk to Bmore. They'd arrive late unless this game goes on forever

Your private jet must be really slow if you think it takes that long!

Basallo has to be close.  I know he isn’t on the 40 man roster though.

    • You always need shuttle guys. Ideally, I would think they’d like to have 2-3 spots they can interchange between 5-6 guys. That allows them to maybe get some younger arms in there, like McDermott and the others we mentioned already.  Bautista, if he is back to his old form, Seranthony, Cano, Soto (who I think may just surprise some people), while Cionel and Akin are not sure things. Either could be moved. They should make some moves there, IMO. Cionel has not really improved as much as I had hoped. Akin has had a very good year. Are they ARB eligible this year?
    • You’re the one who threw Ripken into the discussion.  And I don’t think anyone is necessarily saying that Gunnar will be as good as Ripken.  Cal is 3rd all time in Total Zone Runs for a SS.  But, Cal also proves that you don’t judge a SS solely on how many errors they make.  The years that Cal made 26, 25 and 25 errors, he was +11, +23, +O Rtot.  And  Gunnar is playing a solid SS now by the advanced metrics.  
    • Coby's problem is not the SSS at bats, but rather his sample size on defense, both minors and majors. He has no position at this point in his career. He's a DH and not in the lineup today because AS is Dhing. Eloy is on the bench as well. Both are PH options so stay ready. 
    • I do not know if there were extenuating circumstances or not.  Could be it's a quieter locker room without the rest of the guys, which would make sense in a concussion situation.  So, maybe I did rush to an unfair conclusion here.  At the time, I felt like it more of a "spring training look" when the starters all leave the field after they're done playing.....so yes, there could be other very reasonable explanations. I'll stand corrected, and retract my conclusion.
    • Message to Coby.....you better learn how to use a glove.
    • Totally agree.  And at no point will some people be able to admit that the shiny, new rookie may be overmatched, and putting him just because hangouters want him in there may not be the best move for team chemistry or results  People need to earn their way when given a chance, and with where we are in the standings, leashes are going to be short.  We're not the White Sox who can afford to play anyone they want because it doesn't matter.
