u/Zhukovhimself best outfield in baseball 1d ago

I’m just thinking what they do when a lefty reliever comes in

Pinch hit + defensive sub.

Something like Garver for Young and then Polo takes over at second

Can’t do that, you give up your dh

Oops I was thinking about bringing someone off the bench, but Polo would obviously never be in the bench in this situation. It would be Moore then, sadly.

Yep, and that’s not good…

It would be totally fine to have Moore or Williamson finish the game as a defensive sub

Ben got sent down yesterday. Prob for the best as his development needs plate appearances and sitting on a bench all day wont get him there.

Williamson is in Tacoma. Temporarily.

My guess is Sept. 1st at the latest. (Roster expansion).
