You're catching on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? So you only pitch those guys when leading by a few late? Wont be pitching much I guess if you bring in your shit guys everytime you're down 1 or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ricky isn’t used to winning, but this was just a lack of having any understanding of managing a bullpen. In the grand scheme of things, as long as Ricky gets fired after this year, nothing else matters. He is a total joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then so at some point in those 3 games you are going to be using pitchers other than Herrera and Colome and the guy I was responding to was talking about using Herrera and Colombe again today.

HOFHurt35 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Lost in this trainwreck of a game (by players that don't matter) is how lost Eloy looks at the plate. His bat speed is too slow for a fastball and he just looks foolish on every slider. Here I was hoping he'd be that one prospect who left nothing to be considered about as soon as he arrived. He looks terrible. Yes, only 4 games. But when he's on roller skates out in the OF, that premium bat better show up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your insistence on only pitching 2 relievers - the veterans - because winning is all that matters to you is short sighted and not how a rebuilding team should handle business. They are evaluating guys. Covey sucks, sure but he's on the team transitioning to reliever. He's a GROUND BALL pitcher with a heavy sinker and they neeDed a ground ball. It makes sense. Fact is he pitched the young guys that inning and they sucked. Getting mad at the manager for pitching guys available to him when his two best arms pitched 2 days in a row is crazy imo.

He's just fouling off fastballs he should be putting in play and is struggling to adjust, like most, to MLB quality breaking pitches. Give him 500 PA before making any big conclusions. And you could argue it should be 1000-1500 PA. Long, long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
