Final month of this garbage season starts poetically in the land of trashcans.

Does anyone have an update on Calhoun and Santana? We need to get Choo out and utilize one of these two guys.
Even with them out I think we could use anyone else as our DH besides Choo.

Don't have an issue with Choo in the lineup myself.

But I get the impression that not trading Lynn this year is going to be a bigger fail than not trading Minor last year.

Nothing against Choo except he is gone after this year and is blocking some younger guy trying to make the team

3+ weeks left in the season, not an ideal time to "see what you have" with players.

Just my opinion. If we had 2+ months left, then I'd be on board.

You wonder if some of the steam came out of him knowing he was not traded and in a pennant race. Not saying it is but it did cross my mind.

Guys that become aces always concern me when it comes to possible regression. Not saying that's what is happening here with Lynn, but if it does, then hoo boy are we fucked.

what has happened to Gallo. To think I thought he would be traded. Not to late for him if he can figure out the problem but not a lot of games left so the off season may offer some help.

Pretty sure we know what we have in Gallo.

And y'all wanted to bench him.
He could hit 3 HR today and I would feel the same, because like others said, it really doesn't have anything to do with him production-wise.

I did have a very strong feeling when I made that post that that meant he was going to hit a HR though. Lol

You can't tell a whole lot by three weeks of playing time now, but you can tell more now than you can in ST. They will be judged by a lot more than these three weeks, but why not get them some experience now. We get nothing at all by Choo starting 3 more weeks.

They should just come out and say before the season is over that Solak is the starting 2B for 2021. They need to tell Odor that he needs to learn to play a couple of other positions if he wants to stick around as a bench player next year.

He still could not hit if he played every position.

These guys never met a rally they didn't want to deflate as soon as possible.

Well, if they are not going to release him, he will take up a bench spot, so he needs to learn how to play more than 2B. I remember calling for the same thing last year because it was time for that then.

By my count we've got 5 "let's see what they got" players in the lineup. Who would take Choo's place that isn't already out there?

Can't think of a position he could honestly compete for.
