GenericUserName Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I just have to laugh about them trying to get Covey to work with a four seamer more. He actually has a below average spin on his four seamer and definitely does not have the speed to make up for it. Plus, if you are trying to throw more four seamers, you are likely to get more fly balls and infield flies, so of course they put in a DH at 1B in a stadium with huge foul ground. On top of all that, they also put in a rookie catcher who probably isn't the best to be calling a game when a pitcher is working on something.

I think it's just a bit of recency bias from today and last Saturday. We beat Boston on Saturday afternoon the week prior, I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because free agency quality pitching is incredibly expensive and there will be a ton of competition.

I'm not a super optimist, so this isn't some trend that I'm going to uphold mindlessly. Right now, we're the 2014 Cubs. Or the 2014 Astros. Or the 2017 Braves. Or the 2018 Phillies (IDK, I think they're on the up and up). It might go a little bit differently for us, but at the very least, with Robert and Madrigal up, Cease, Kopech, and Gio in the rotation, and a few free agent signings, we should win 85-90 next year and contend for one of the WCs. Undeniable dominance in 2021. If we don't do that, heads need to roll. Feel free to bookmark this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, counting him and Vaughn as being up next year, this team's salary commitments are so low that free agency should be options 1, 2, and 3 to fill the last remaining holes. I don't know that we've ever seen a team in a position like this where they absolutely have to find something to spend money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but come on, he looks like he’s never seen a high fastball. All he’s had is excuses made for him in this organization, but when you actually watch him live, you see why he struggles so much.
