Purdue has traveled pretty well to the west coast lately. Should have a decent crowd there tonight. I know we have overwhelmed USC, Washington, the San Diego MTE last year. It's a pretty national alumni base.
My guess is this allows them to be activated from the 60 Day sooner because Toledo's season starts a year earlier. I think they get paid a bit more for this though!
I say they because there was a pitcher they did it with too.
I need to find the article on BP that talked about the Tigers platooning their defense based on the pitcher's batted ball tendencies. A LH starter seems to make more sense to have a strong left side of the infield, while you can get by with Carpenter in right. I am going to be curious to see how this plays out when they go to the pen.
Forces a 3rd tto decision for the opposing manager, or at least that is what Hinch said when he started doing it in the Playoffs. I am surprised so many people are shocked by this or don't remember the playoffs.
If it's anything like MLB.TV, my brother and my dad have mine and I run into issues sometimes, but not often. If I do, I just call them and remind them whose password it is and who is the bigger Tigers fan, and they drop off 😄
You can't option an injured player either.
If you want to keep an injured player from counting against the 40 man, it is either 60-Day or release them.
