Montero might get a chance at 3B before Gorman does only because I think he’s more advanced than Gorman. I don’t know if his dense is better than Edman’s defense.
Miller needs 7 more appearances in order to vest for 2021. 6 more after tonight. IMO, there’s no way he’s a $12M relief pitcher but that’s what we’re paying him in 2021 if he’s back.
I live less than a mile from Wrigley, just took the pup for a walk up to the stadium area in my Waino “Jersey T” and Cards hat! They were worn with pride!
Speaking of Sosa a few posts up —- where is he? Surely he has recovered from the bug by now so I assume he is at Springfield and Shrock is now our infield utility man.
Presumably, Sosa and Schrock are playing side by side in Springfield, competing for the next infield opening with St. Louis. Who is ahead of whom is unclear.
One would safely assume that “The Rock” is a couple of lengths ahead of Sosa as they hit the top of the stretch. And “The Rock” is a noted strong finisher. He’s going to make either us or some other lucky team a very fine utility man.
Shildt gave Tyler the last two games of August off and it seems to have helped. He’s played in four of the last five September games and has a four digit ops over those games.
.333 / .385 / .750 / 1.135 in 13 PA’s with a 1/4 BB/K
Tyler is currently in this ops+ group of regulars….
Molina 90, Edman 87, O’Neill 84, Wong 82
