2021 Series #30 | Rays @ Indians | July 22-25

This is so true and obvious.

I'm not sure it is obvious to most viewers, as he does flash an excellent play on occasion...but just between us , he is not a good shortstop and it hurts us multiple times a week.

One more thought - the Rays, who are a wild card team at the moment, just got better with the Cruz deal. They will also get Bregman back at some point. Chris Archer is pitching in rehab games and Tyler Glasnow has started to play catch. The Rays should be a lot better in a few weeks. Heck, they'll be better tonight when Cruz shows up.

Other teams the Indians are battling for a wild card spot will also be making moves to get better in the second half. The best the Tribe can do is a minor move to shore up a weak spot, like trading for a lefty reliever. They're not going to be bringing in a Nelson Cruz caliber player, IMO. No money even if they were willing to trade some prospects.

I really think the idea of lopping $7-10 million off the payroll while getting some clarity for next season is going to be too tempting for ownership to resist.

and here I thought the india, err, guardians, were the only team with injuries

I don’t know who he means instead of Bregman (who isn’t on the Rays, obviously), but Archer hasn’t been healthy since 2019 or pitched remotely decent since 2018.

I don't agree with locking any threads on a day when our baseball team changes its name for the first time in OVER 100 YEARS.

Just let the shit fly for awhile. Everyone is amped and excited.

I have to agree, we all knew it was coming and as long as we avoid the personal attacks, which we have.. We should get a day or 2 to let it rip.... @The Human Q-Tip Please reopen the "vent" feed with an enter at your own risk caveat.

They were there. Thinly veiled.

Agreed. Put it in EAYOR if you have to, I don't care. Not being allowed to discuss this is harmful to this site, IMO.

Debatable

I didn't see anything personal, but maybe I missed it. Regardless this is a huge day in the history of the franchise and this site really should be facilitating the discussion IMO.

Oh yeah, we have a game to play.
