Espinal? Where’s France?

[klw]

Where’s France?

Western Europe, sandwiched between Andorra and Luxembourg.

[NebraskaRed]

Is Ty France walking from Seattle to Cincinnati?

[texasdave]

Both Yosver Zulueta and Lyon Richardson were recalled from Louisville today.

[Ron Madden]

No real big deal but I would play Espinal at 2B and India at DH.

[coryfly]

Yeah, if you are trying to win and want to play Espinal that's fine but he should be in the field. Something similar would be like pinch running for Elly. But, they aren't trying to win so....

[coryfly]

I think the Sims deal is a pretty good one. I assume Martinez or Farmer may be next??

[Ironman92]

OMG they are DH’ing Espinal again lol

The organization doesn’t care OR they are just dumb. Stared at numbers too long and forgot what they were doing.


The Cubs are very unimpressive BUT this is one of their better lineups. 5 runs should still win it

Marte’s .885 fielding percentage is by far the worst on the team and that’s not counting the numerous times, Steer has bailed out his bad throws. Unbelievable

Go Reds!

The original theory was that India was hitting really well and taking him off the field to DH would retard his batting mojo.

Not sure what our resident reds spin doctors are saying now.

Krall said the Reds were also buyers trying to get veteran position players and SPs. Offers just came up short. I don't believe that for a second.

Good for you. It’s horse hockey.

[TheBigLebowski]

Way to go TJ

[Tony Cloninger]

Marte is playing like Brandon Larson yet they refuse to send him down. Krall ego is really a piece of work.

[phlbilly]

Espinal as the DH is the dumbest thing Bell does a s a manager. It makes no sense at all. He is a superior fielder at 2nd over India and at 3rd over Marte. It’s not even close at 3rd.

[coryfly]

Slater to the Orioles. Not sure why Baltimore would do that but cool.
