This is one of those Sunday looking line-ups, but still 100% better than our old time Sunday line-ups.

 

Hiura clean-up? Hope he doesn't put extra pressure on himself for this one...

 

Pina in the line-up really makes the line-up look weak. Grandal has been such a boost in the every day line-up this year.

 

I like Gamel leading off.

[pacopete4]

It’s going to be hard to go back to a regular (poor) hitting catcher next year. It’s been so nice to have a stud offensively.

[young guns]

We will either score 0 or 20 runs with this lineup. No inbetween.

I've got a feeling if Yasmani keeps this up & can make it through the postseason without forgetting how to catch/block balls that we'll find the cash to bring him back.

Hiura batting cleanup! CC giving the kid his due. No way he goes back down anytime soon. The hype is real so far for the second baseman that this team has needed for a long time. Playing with Arcia can only make him better defensively.

I think it will all depend on how long of a contract he will be seeking...I can't see us ponying up for a deal longer than 2 years, but I can see him looking for 4 or 5...

I won Thursday game I was at. Let’s get a Sunday win too!!

He can look for that all he wants, but good luck getting it. Unless he has a truly breakout offensive year I don’t see why teams would suddenly offer him big long term deals. I would expect his numbers to come down to earth a bit and even if they don’t not really convinced teams buy into one big season.

 

Would it really be shocking for him to come back at another ~$20mil price tag? Wouldn’t shock me to be honest. Or sign something like 3/$45mil. He was great last year and walked away with a one year deal.

[TJseven7]

Dreaded bases loaded no outs.

[82brewcrew82]

How did Moran not step on the bag?

[yfinn6]

What the hell was Moran doing? He literally was standing on 3B when he made that throw but didn't step on the base. Thanks.

[stoutdude04]

Lol. Get a brain Moran.

[trwi7]

Lol. Get a brain Moran.

 

Was coming to post something similar.

Probably coulda thrown home too.

[MrTPlush]

Lol. Get a brain Moran.

 

Man talk about being completely unaware of the situation.

[stoutdude04]

Annoying time to bunt.

[folly412]

Lol. Get a brain Moran.

 

Was busy finding the image to post.

 

[MrTPlush]

Well that was dumb.

[82brewcrew82]

I didn't realize other teams made those mistakes.

[TJseven7]

Why bunt to 1st. Don't you want the 3rd baseman having to crash so you can trail him down the line?

[Bulldogboy]

Second and third why would you not let him swing the bat?? You pinch hit him but now he can't swing the bat? Boy I just do not understand this team sometimes.

I think the Crew could get him to come back with a 3 year, $48 million deal with a mutual option for year four at $20 million with a $6 million buyout.

 

By that point, one of Henry, Feliciano, or Fry will be ready to take over.

[OldHeidelberg]

I would have let Davies swing away, an rbi ground out seems as likely as bunting a guy in from 3rd and there are a couple of other good things that could happen.

At this point with his issues on D maybe make him the first baseman. It's a black hole right now.
