I know they won't do it, but I pray they send him to AAA once the MiLB season starts and start the stretch out process. Yeah he’s not developing at all and isn’t really helping the team either in this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we disagree but it is physically impossible to stretch him out this year. He is either reliever in the minors or a reliever in the majors.

I'm hoping he gets a standard reliever's innings this year, then pitches in AA/AAA as a starter next year to build up innings with a target of 2023 as an MLB starter. I fear he'll be in the bullpen again next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But using him as a one inning reliever does nothing to get him ready for next year, which then makes it harder to get him ready for 2023. What’s scary is he should be at 100 mph in short relief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 While I haven't agreed with all the moves LaRussa has done so far to start the season, the ineptitude of this offense really leaves no room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Colome escaped with his typical tight rope act in the top of the 9th...tied 3-3 still. Indians were hitting .195 entering the game...interesting no throw there at first. Poor grip on ball? Eaton pushed off bag play that would have been 2nd and 3rd, no outs looms large. Offense continues to look like total garbage. Edited April 15, 2021 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
