Meh. Mancini has been mediocre for us. He’s hit some HRs but done little else. .198/.289/.425

If he wants to take the $10M option then fine. Otherwise, I’d like to explore other options. 

$10mil for mancini is over paying

There’s a saying that everything is for sale. I’ve bought many a truck or boat or whatever by just asking if someone wanted to sell it. If Click beat the bushes to make someone available in a trade that may not have had a sign around their neck, no one knows except those in the know. But saying no one was available just because they weren’t advertised as such isn’t always the case. GMs job is to find out. 

everything is for sale, but what’s the price

Yep, there’s the rub. But I would say to that if you have pitching to trade you aren’t knocking on doors begging. Arguably, or maybe unarguably, the most coveted commodity in baseball and a conversation starter at the least. Click may have exhausted all avenues but that’s really up to Crane to decide at the end of the day. Hard to believe with pitching you couldn’t shake something loose if you really wanted to but in Clicks eyes I guess nothing worth trading for and trading for trading sake is wrong too. 
Im working on reports waiting to watch Hunter tonight just babbling away at what if scenarios. Feel free to ignore me lol

Thank Jebus Diaz is back.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

No more Slappy.

RiP !

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Aledmys is Yordan’s support animal. He may have to be here next 10 years.

[tx 3 putt 76942]

Yordan flashing some leather !!!

he's been making some plays out there

[Gut Wagon 8065]

That run didn't help Brown's first-ballot induction in Cooperstown, but hopefully there's still time to make amends. 

[tx 3 putt 76942]

Yordan is heating up !

[tx 3 putt 76942]

King Tuck !!!!!!

[Js1 85325]

Hail to the King 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Need to get the Tigers moved to the AL West

100.8 mph on the homer and 110 mph on the double.  Good thing they didn't amputate!

[Gourmand 7774]

Did y'all talk about this or no?

 

[Guadaloopy 10966]

I’m good with a two out bases empty single for Kody every time. 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Time for the triple to left center 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Blum in the shitter

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

The triple that Dubon didn’t catch had a 70% catch probability. Totally makes sense that Chas can’t play out there.  Something something 1st to 3rd. 

[tx 3 putt 76942]

pena hit would be nice 

[elfenix 34238]

Someone yelling "fuck you you midget, you fucking midget, fuck you altuve" pretty clear on the radio broadcast

Heard it.

[Storm the Field 5294]

Brown settled in nicely the last few innings. 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

I never heard if we really went after Chafin, but I do wish he were in our bullpen right now. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I don’t believe what I just saw

[Storm the Field 5294]

Yuli hit a ball over the fence?!??!?!

[elfenix 34238]

Cubanos!

[Rip76 4925]

This would be a great time for Yuli to get on a hot streak.

I’m kinda glad he’s on the Tigers

[WBT 20565]

He's back!

[Guadaloopy 10966]

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Hopefully Yuli is taking whatever is making Pujols hit home runs at a higher rate than he has in over a decade. MLB said it’s juice time boys, the post season is here! We need runs!

Im kidding. Sorta.

[Storm the Field 5294]

10 weeks and 200 AB since he last went yard.

As are several of our hitters in that inning. That said, he's one of the better lefty relievers out there, and I'd far prefer having him over Mr. Smith or most other options to fill that role.

And a bases empty home run when we’re up 4

[wood 11225]

Hookem right back at ya, Kody!

Giving up a meaningless HR to Clemens is acceptable.  As long as it's meaningless.

Now i see why Dusty hates Chas

Seattle wasn't aware there is a second round of the playoffs.
