I'd trade either to open up a spot for any

Though I don’t think adding an aging veteran in Manny or Burrell is probably the right way to go. Adding Bay and extending him would have been, IMO, and adding Dunn would be a lot better than not adding him.

Maybe that means they are going to call up Gio

or they are giving Meyer an inning

Unless he pitches 7 innings in relief

My guess also

If Meyer pitches only one inning, I don’t see it being an issue.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver

When was Davis' last at bat? He seems to be on the gravy train here:

fly around the country, pick up a considerable pay package and pinch run now and again.

He does seem to be keeping a low-profile lately...

...then again, they haven’t needed a single run that would make any kind of a difference in quite awhile.

Hold sthe bat out to bunt and gets hit on the index finger (sandwich) and had to leave the game. Bleeding pretty bad. Painfil watching it. Strike 1 to new batter
