reiks12 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Why is Abreu our MVP? Because if you take him out of the last 2 games we have 2 hits in 13 innings with 12 strikeouts. Hes responsible for all the scoring the last two days. Edited September 17, 2020 by reiks12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Why is Maeda throwing that slider so much? All he's doing is hanging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a force this year You have to think he won't be nearly as good next year.. yet Moncada, Robert, and Madrigal should be. How fun is that to say? Usually if Abreu stinks, they're fucked.

He would have been a great fit imo. 1) Lol great timing 2) They only wanted 1 SP (wanted to give Cease, Kopech, and Reylo their shots since this was before we knew Kopech was out). 3) Between DK and Maeda, I think they liked bringing in a lefty, and also Maeda's injury history probably scared them off. We know they are pretty conservative on bringing in FA pitchers because of injury risks, and they already had a glass arm in Rodon on the roster.

maloney.adam Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Just hope that ReyLo can keep us in the ballgame and hope we can wear down Maeda long enough so they go to the bullpen.

SonofaRoache Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 This is what playoff pitching looks like folks. This is why we need as many productive bats as possible and a true game 1 guy.

And it’s why I think Hahn would love Michael Brantley. Reminds me of Cubs going after Zobrist after they saw their issues against the Mets fireballers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's cutting it to give it more movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
