Thinking about who goes if they activate LMJ. Cannot be Martinez, I do not think, but it may be. Abreu is the most erratic, but he has great stuff. Who am I forgetting?
I think of the Aās and laugh and laugh and laugh whenever Seth pitches.

According to Fangraphs
Stanek, Maton, Abreu, and Martinez have options left.
We know it wonāt be Stanek.
Youāre not forgetting anybody. One reason I can think of why youād send Martinez down over Abreu is that youād burn Abreuās last option year.
This is the baseball equivalent of āfirst world problemsā

Abreu or Martinez will be the choice, I think. Wonāt be Maton.
I do not like that choice. Meanwhile, Hunter Brown waits, and Paredes continues to get outs.
Vazquez to catch, please, the rest of the game.
T8:
De Los Santos in for CLE
PeƱaā¦0-2ā¦chops out 5-3 on a nice play by Miller coming in
McCormick bunt single to 3B
Meyers doubles to LF, McCormick to 3B
Maldonadoā¦0-2ā¦foulā¦foulā¦flies out F7, McCormick scores on the sac flyā¦good at bat by the Machete
Altuve infield single to SS, Meyers to 3B
Gurriel grounds into FC, Altuve out 3U
9-3 Astros
So how does Dusty get home? Or is he stuck in Cleveland until he clears?
B8:
Gonzalezā¦0-2ā¦dribbles up the 1B line, Martinez fields it and takes it to the bag. 1U
Naylor singles to RCF

Maile flies out F8
To the 9thā¦9-3 Astros

Does Mancini have to rest tomorrow?
Two homers? Probably two rest days.
I canāt believe he didnāt homer in each AB.
He may be a waste of a trade.
(That is sarcasm).
