That is weird that Bryant sits. Of course, he'll probably pinch hit in the 5th inning and be in the rest of the game.

Why is Flores getting all the 3B love in place of Longo? Why doesn’t Bryant get any play there? Is his 3B defense bad?

 

[calsnowskier]

Have I been paying that little attention?

I just looked it up. Since coming over, Bryant has played 69 (hehehe) innings in the OF and 89 innings at 3B.

Go figure…

Longo's out on Covid IR, right? From what i saw some bad effects from the vaccine - why he's decided to vax in the stretch run and not in the off season is a valid question IMO

I guess Kap wants Flores' bat in the line up - I would going into NY, gotta be some Hulk style anger to unleash. Belt's got 1st so Wilmer get the hot corner

Longo was on the COVID IL. Just now activated.

FIFY

From my understanding, Longoria was vaccinated earlier in the season so the speculation is that he got a booster. However, I think that the Giants are going to exploit the COVID IL until Longoria's finger is better.

As for Flores, is he better at 3rd than LaStella (or is LaStella that much better at 2nd than Flores)? It does seem weird that Flores is the guy Kapler would want in the lineup today over Bryant.

I don't see that. Where did you see that he was activated?

Never mind, I just saw this on the team page. However, I don't know how they didn't remove someone from the 40 man roster in order to activate Longoria. He was taken off the 40 man for Moronta's activation.

08/24/21	San Francisco Giants placed 3B Evan Longoria on the 10-day injured list. Right hand contusion.
08/24/21	San Francisco Giants placed RHP Kevin Gausman on the 10-day injured list.

I'd put Wilmer in to face his old team -

A little late.

Mr Fucking Belt!

I misspoke, he got put on the IL. Per Baggs:

The Giants reinstated Evan Longoria from the undisclosed (Covid) Injured List and placed him on the 10-Day Injured List with a right hand contusion. That left them plus-one on the 40-man roster. So Kevin Gausman goes on the undisclosed (Covid) IL because of vaccine effects.

That makes sense but I get the feeling that FZ is making liberal use of the COVID IL right now and will continue to do so until September 1st.

That ball was crushed. 20 HR for The Yazinator.
