So when do we find out about the Pedro extension?

No, Luis Robert is literally at home raking his yard. There can be no other logical explanation.

Even the guys who are here are historically bad. Like we knew they wouldn't be good, but guy are ducking way under even their own shitty career numbers which isn't easy to do for a lot of these guys.

Bold of you to assume he would have a similar performance here.

It was hard to underperform this teams offensive expectations, but here we are.

It is impossible to figure out who you are talking about without going back to the original post.

Looked in real time like an ankle twist.

If it doesn't make a difference why is he churning the roster like a shitty fantasy owner?

He's panicking. He has a plan, but as soon as he got hit in the mouth he started flailing for anything and everything. What he did over the winter made sense if he was trying not to rush people, but him releasing prospects to sign flotsam only to release them a week later is some OOTP crap. He really is acting like he isn't capable of doing this job.

If it was 3 weeks, there was no point in bringing them in the 1st place.

Right. The worst team in baseball, but he is being dramatic. He's already shoving out guys he signed after only 3 weeks.

What is not good at? Oh, right.

Nice start.

The light at the end of the tunnel... is a freight train.

Ummm, yeah.

First rule of Team Meetings. We don't talk about Team Meetings.

The healthiest Crochet is like the healthiest ILoy. It is typically a temporary situation which will soon lead to the inevitable. I don't see a need to rush it along.

I swear it is just a way to save money. One less day with another extra player on the roster, versus the guy from the IL who is getting paid no matter what.

To be fair I literally can't think of another pitcher being asked to go from essentially no innings base at all to a starters load over the course of a current season. Even a guy like Chris Sale or Jose Quintana had something like 70 or 80 innings in previous seasons, while Crochet comes no where close to it. The thinking is by extending him so quickly, you increase the risk of injuries in the shorter term. Maybe 70 pitch outings while extending up to say 100-120 innings that way are better than doing it in 3 months while pushing past 90 pitches to 100. If you save an inning or two with shorter starts now, it allows him to work more starts over the course of the season to get to his innings peak for the year, instead of being shut down sooner, or worse hurt from fatigue.
