How can you not love baseball?
Was looking for video of this earlier: Kolten Wong batting with tears in his eyes in his return to St. Louis. Don't know that I've ever seen something like it. pic.twitter.com/NJnvK0B4Dw

There’s this phenomenon in writing where you have an idea and you start putting together the piece. In the midst of writing it, you may take a random break and pop onto your Twitter feed. Whilst scanning said feed, you may run across an article posted with not only your exact premise, but damn near the same title, too. This is what Nick Pollack and Alex Fast at PitcherList have termed “Getting Sullivan’d” based on outstanding Fangraphs alumnus Jeff Sullivan.
Well, PitcherList got one back on Fangraphs:
Athletics
• A.J. Puk will only work out of the bullpen.
Puk, 25, will work out of the bullpen, providing aid to an exhausted relief corps that worked 16 2/3 innings over the last four days against Houston. The situation was so dire that the A’s even had to call upon rookie outfielder Ka’ai Tom to pitch the ninth inning on Sunday.
I am just not sure if Puk will end up being fantasy relevant this season.
Indians
• Andrés Giménez is expected to be the full-time shortstop …
“Giménez, he’ll be right back in there,” Francona said. “I just want to keep Amed in the lineup today. We’ll be doing some mixing and matching. Amed’s gonna move back and forth a little bit. He’s not just a platoon player, for sure. We’ll make sure we keep everybody to a point where they can be productive.”
… while Amed Rosorio is easing into his outfield role.
If the team is expecting to play Giménez regularly, that means Rosario’s time in center field could be coming soon.
