@Tim_Whelan216 He's good and he's averaging 6 innings per start, better than any other starter in Columbus

@Tim_Whelan216 Aleman hasn't been down long enough, has to be 15 days unless he's replacing an injured pitcher. And I disagree with you on Allen, thining our already very thin starting depth is potentially a very bad idea

@PrimeManzardo @Buster_ESPN @JoshBrownCLE If U r a CLE fan & want to compete for WS, ✅ur catcher position can’t be a sinkhole at bat.✅ CLE does NOT have great P. EVERY AB has to have good odds of success to compete vs TOP contenders for World Series. Curr CLE ranks P: ❌ 10th ER ❌ 9th ERA ❌12th WHIP ❌12th BA AVG

@GageEHC I, generally, don't care about the batting order. It rarely makes much difference after the first time through anyway. I'm more concerned about having a perceived easy out right behind one of the better hitters

Think there are too many variables that are missed, and am perfectly ok with accepting that players are “comfortable” in certain spots in lineup & that is reason enough to keep them there

Batting order matters, but nowhere near as much as it is insinuated by the amount of attention it receives. I’m guilty of it, too! It’s an easy thing to debate. But it’s not worth fretting over on a daily basis, by any means

@GageEHC He may be using the British spelling. Either way he's apparently never taken a minute to try to learn anything at all about sabermetrics

@McQuain_Health @CleGuardPro Brogdon was already DFA to make room for Aleman, who then pitched back to back days. The pen was overworked and needed a fresh arm. That's why Aleman was sent down

@CleGuardPro Why didn’t they just keep Aleman up? They could’ve done Heuer for Brogdan yesterday. We waste so many options!

@nats_sportschat No. Not until his BABIP and the gap between his wOBA and xwOBA both have some positive regression and his luck improves. When that happens and he's still hitting like this, then I'll worry

@pandem1cleo @BaseballWRLD_ And most of the few that can hit are below average defensively, at best. A catcher that can hit AND catch is practically a unicorn

@GageEHC A catchers defense impacts a game far more than his offense does. Every defensive pitch vs 3 or maybe 4 at bats

defensive catching is nowhere near going away

@BaseballValues This is crazy that Bailey has any value, horrific offensive catcher in a sport where defensive catching is going away. Negative WAR on almost every site

@Tim_Whelan216 Maybe but that doesn't feel like their style. I'd guess they're going to work with him for a while and see if he can improve before deciding to trade him

@gregd1111 I hope so. His defense is awesome so I get it. It was time to move on from Bo. Would wonder if Bo could be flipped for pitching depth in the minors for a catcher needy team.

@Tim_Whelan216 I'm never a fan of trading pitching, but I think in this case it could very easily be worth it

@gregd1111 Also, trading a pitcher who was close to Columbus when you already have very little depth. Gonna be honest, not a fan but I hope it works out

@Tim_Whelan216 They're also not in a position to carry a defensive liability at catcher or a DH only

@gregd1111 The guardians aren’t a position not promote someone whose bat could help the offense further. For an offense that already needs a lot help.

@Tim_Whelan216 At this point I think it's mostly DH with a little 3rd/emergency catcher while learning other positions. Basically Fry with a significantly better bat

@GageEHC I personally don't think it is any different, but because to my knowledge it's never been done before someone will definitely have an issue with it

@gregd1111 how is it any different than fouling at the end of a basketball game? or … an intentional walk?

MLB strategy Hypothetical: If you’re up 9-1 in the 4th inning and the imminent forecast looks like rolling thunderstorms any minute, should you intentionally bat out of order 3x to hurry it and try to finish the 5th?
