August 16, 20251 yr At this point there’s no reason not to bring up Crawford and let him play everyday. As long as he doesn’t get 130 ABs he is going to be a rookie next year. With Castellanos being awful for over a month and a half now can platoon him with Kepler and already platooning marsh with bader. Leaves one spot where he can be an everyday player

Can’t imagine topper platooning 4 veterans and then trotting a new rookie out there every single night.

Can’t imagine topper platooning 4 veterans and then trotting a new rookie out there every single night.They are already platooning 4. Look at the lineup today and past couple weeks. Kepler is platooning with Castellanos. And marsh has been with bader. Only difference is they are also inserting Weston Wilson into this. Instead of platooning Wilson into this it’ll just be Crawford playing everyday. Right now none of their outfielders are playing everyday as they’ve gone to a platoon with Kepler and Castellanos. Today is one of the first times bader and marsh both started together. Tomorrow marsh and Kepler are going to sit cause it’s a LHP. Unless they decide to just play bader everyday or marsh (unlikely as since he got here they haven’t and since marsh called back up refusing to let him consistently hit vs. LHP) then you could have Crawford play everyday then go bader/marsh and Kepler/Castellanos platoon like they have.Also time to do it is now cause we have a bunch of bad teams on the schedule besides the mariners til the end of the month (including Mets who’ve been awful) and he’s going to maintain his rookie eligibility. Also brought up rojas in 2023 in July and played him everyday. So i tend to think Thomson would be fine with it. Imo this is more on Dombrowski
August 16, 20251 yr Nola and Bohm back tomorrow meaning 2 guys getting moved down. I’d guess lazar as they won’t admit the failure of Romano. On offense I’d bet it’s kemp as Wilson has hit well since called up. Then Tuesday Alvarado is eligible to come back. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ranger is bad Monday that he winds up on IL with Nola back.
August 16, 20251 yr wtf is Turner doing? Why steal 3rd base with schwarber and Harper coming up. No reason too

No outs with those two makes no sense and he’s fast enough to get home on a single. So no need to steal 3rd
August 16, 20251 yr Just now, John Blutarski said:Kepler FN sucksGood thing we have Crawford wasting away in triple A right now so that we can have the crap platoon of Kepler and Castellanos
August 16, 20251 yr Kepler ground into double play when all he needed was a basic sac fly. Tired of this Fn turd. Unfortunately he's untouchable just like Fn Romano because DD is a stubborn idiot
August 16, 20251 yr Well depending on how long cavalli stays in the game that 2 runs is huge. need to get to the nationals bullpen cause they stink and we actually have a shot against them
August 16, 20251 yr Another good start by Walker. Unfortunately no run support from this lousy offense.
August 16, 20251 yr It's hard to listen to Amaro talking up Romano like he's actually been decent. He's terrible.
August 16, 20251 yr Lmao this offense is about to get shutout by the worst if not the worst pitching staff one of the worst in baseball…
