Yes..."seems" is the operative word. But it's possible the relievers collectively get hot, and if that time is now...This team would be quite dangerous in a short series.
As the regular season winds down, one of the more intriguing discussions to be had will revolve around the makeup of the postseason roster. At least for the initial Wild Card round.
Thinking back to Friday - when Massey did whatever it was he did that had him briefly writhing on the ground - I thought he was done for the year. Did anyone ever say what happened to him on that play? I was at the game so I didn't get the benefit of any in-game reporting that might have taken place.
Remember when they were talking about only letting him play in the field part-time? SO glad his body has held up to being the everyday 2B. I know they've been giving him days off here and there but the initial indications that they were afraid his back couldn't handle playing defense were a lot more dire than it turned out to be.
I had the same fears, but was relieved when he remained in the game. I figured given his injury history with the back that if there was any indication is was a problem, they would’ve pulled him immediately.
I think they’ve done a really solid job managing his workload along with whatever training room work they’re doing to keep him on the field.
The 'pen SEEMS to be rounding into shape quite nicely, although it would be swell if one of the terrific
lefties suddenly became ambidextrous.
If indeed Omaha is where pitchers get fixed, how about sending Alec Marsh down for a quick tuneup.
Exiling him to the 'pen will hopefully make him less dangerous, but he still scares me.
Completely agree re: Massey and I am very excited about his future.
That dive by BWJ was so gorgeous it should be painted and hung in the Louvre.
