Amed scores after Jose lines a double to right.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

1-0 good guys. Jose doubles down the line. Amed scores from first

 

[eChameleon]

The good ol' hit and run!

Amed needs to change his trousers

I suggested demoting him “a month or two ago”, not in April or May.

He was in AAA on a rehab assignment less than 7 weeks ago!

I wouldn’t consider a rehab assignment being the same as being optioned.

 

[Derek]

I wouldn’t consider a rehab assignment being the same as being optioned.

But how do you demote a guy a month or two ago when he was already in AAA or injured?

They gave him about 6 weeks after his return before demoting him. I don’t know how much quicker you can expect them to do it.

 

[Martyinnewyork]

Mancini up. What a nice pick up for them

 

[xmasbuck]

beyond the whatfores and wherefores and therefores, that was one hell of a fall for Franny

From 2018 to 2021 Franmil posted the 63rd best wRC+ amongst qualified hitters. Ahead of names like Lindor, Bell, Cron, Moncada, and Anderson.

37th amongst qualified hitters in slugging, ahead of names like Abreu, Schwarber, Olson, Cron, and Donaldson.

58th in OPS amongst qualified hitters in OPS, ahead of names like Bell, Lindor, Correa, Chapman, France.

Imagine demoting a guy with a track record like that a few months into the 2022 season. Not a single team in baseball would have done that.
