Dom, Buddy Hop on Pop

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The 51s beatwriter on the Twitter sez Dom Smith and Buddy Bauman are on their way to Philly, presumably for the paternally-displaced Bruce and Blevins.

[Edgy MD]

What an incredibly interesting pair of moves. I approve!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Baumann is reportedly required to serve a 1-game suspension for his role in a brawl with Colorado dating to his SD stint so wouldn't be immediately available.

When you said that Dom Smith was "on the way to Philly" I thought for a moment that he had been traded.

Seriously. I was confused as to why were trading them to Philly for two guys we already had on the roster; then I re-read it and it made way more sense.

What's a Buddy Baumann?

[Edgy MD]

Do none of you fuckos read my roster updates?

Buddy Baumann made appearances with the Padres from 2016 to 2018, but was claimed off waivers by the Mets while they were in San Diego, and assigned to Vegas.

Lefty, long track record of minor league success going back to 2009, and has done a decent job in the majors, striking out a lot, but walking a lot, the way LOOGys do.

Short with a compact motion, so not the typical LOOGy profile.

Okay, good. I'm not the only one who'd never heard of him.

Baumann has been mentioned as taking Robles's place, assuming they decide that oh dear he's too hurt to pitch.

Geez oh man. How long are they going to even be here?

Yes I made an assumption about Blevins but its Robles to the DL

[Edgy MD]

Looks like we'll have a taste of a two-lefty bullpen.

77 Baumann Strip: Buddy goes where Carrasco and Nido have gone before him, presumably because he has no self respect.

One-game suspension tonight. Shouldn't wearing 77 be considered punishment enough?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

They shoulda gave him 33

Until Mrs. Blevins goes into labor.

Not that it's any of my business, and obviously the way they spend chunks of time on the road makes it somewhat less of an issue they aren't there anyway so what difference does it make - and the 'everyday grind' also makes it different, but I always find it weird that 'most of the time' baseball players seem to live somewhere other then the city they play in. I can easily imagine that if my partner/wife was 8 months pregnant and she was a 4 hour flight away I'd find it fairly unsettling and that I might play at a sub-optimal level. It'd be like a footballer playing for Man City and his wife living in Istanbul. Definitely in football one of the big things that clubs try and make happen after a transfer is 'getting the player out of a hotel and into a home'.

I don't know Bruce or Blevins situation but it's entirely possible said spouses have lives in respective places that aren't their husband's temporary homes.

100%
I'm just thinking of what a weird experience it must be.
