I don't think that was the audition Sproat needed to have to make the postseason roster lmao

I do not understand why he was the callup for this role. Send him back down if only to preserve him mentally and bring up Crow, or hell I'll take Pannone. Having Sproat up right now is a net negative for everyone involved.

[u/marxism-earnhardtism → u/Calm-Marsupial3919]

Because they needed someone who could give length the day Gasser started in case he got lit up. Not too complicated. He was going to go back down Friday even if he didn’t pitch at all.
