March 30, 20232 yr Wow. Didn't see JJ getting DFA'd: Maybe a positive sign for Altuve's recovery? Edited March 30, 20232 yr by Seasick Sailor
March 30, 20232 yr I don't know, he's never really done much that would say he's going to be useful at some point.
March 30, 20232 yr Author Huh, interesting. No huge loss though. I guess they are very comfortable in Diaz as the backup 1B.
March 30, 20232 yr Matijevic had potential as a lefty power bat. But being limited defensively and striking out a lot makes it hard to hold on to a roster spot in your late 20s.

I mean- maybe they have more interesting reclamation projects but he seems like he could be a Matt Stairs type of guy if everything broke right for him for 3-5 years. Be the LHB portion of a platoon in a corner OF or 1B/DH situation. I mean- Matt Stairs had a 19 year career so he won't be that guy- but maybe he could replicate the middle part of his career. What else do the A's have to do but try shit like that out... Or maybe he's just out of organized baseball.

March 30, 20232 yr Settling in for a long season, killing time until the Astros pregame. Cole just walked the 1st batter on 4 pitches. Edited March 30, 20232 yr by Soliver465
March 30, 20232 yr Well @Ldogg53 is out for work stuff. @Scraps @Jshep34 @tx 3 putt @Slacks et al.. we doing the usual?
March 30, 20232 yr If we were to ever add a slogan to our season thread, I whole heartedly support the AI.

March 30, 20232 yr wait what???? 15-day IL? am I mistaken or is that a new thing again? I thought there was just the 10-day IL and 60-day IL....

I think the 15-day IL is for pitchers only. I'm pretty sure they created it to prevent teams from gaming the system by placing pitchers on the 10-day and being able to have them miss only one start.

March 30, 20232 yr I want to face off against the Yankees in the ALCS, then take on Verlander and the Mets in World Series. Silence New York for at least a week or two.

March 30, 20232 yr Fun Fact: the Teres Major is also a cut of beef that is gaining in popularity. It's like a miniature tenderloin.

March 30, 20232 yr So the Astros game tonight is on ESPN, which is great. But for any future games, how does a Houston resident watch them if ATT Sportsnet is dead/dying?

March 30, 20232 yr Is there any explanation other than Dusty being Dusty as to why Meyers is playing over Chas?

I think we dodged a bullet this season https://www.mlb.com/news/justin-verlander-injured-list-opening-day-2023?partnerID=mlbapp-android_article-share It's uncanny how superstars seem to hit the IL as soon as they leave our roster. First Springer, then Correa, now JV.
