gusguyman Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Finally a good decision by RR. Let gio face the bottom of the order, and if he gives up a hit, you have Bummer in to face a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'd honestly leave Bummer in the 9th too. Or at least for a hitter or two if you want Colome to still get the save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Another thing to think about is having good starters makes Ricky’s job easy. Having Nova, Banuelos, Lopez & Santana consistently going 4-5 innings forces Ricky to use the whole pen at sub-optimal times. No way around it.

It's sad that Covey is the only other starter who can really go 6 innings in limited damage at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's true but reinforcements are coming next year. Gio, Kopech & Cease will be mucho fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopech and Cease are still going to have their growing pains. It really sucks Kopech got injured. This is why I'm hoping Cease gets his feet wet, pitches well (and struggles which he will) and by next season he'll be on a good path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys all seem to struggle coming up and once they adjust, they are studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
