Dick Allen Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 LaRussa must have a back or a neck issue, He always looks like he is walking carefully so he won’t fall over when heading to the mound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the splits with 2 outs and RISP, but with RISP overall, his strikeout rate is better than in non RISP situations and his pull rate is down significantly as well. It's obvious just from watching he seems to look uncomfortable in these situations, but nothing in the numbers really jumps out that he's doing wrong. Nobody on: .273 AVG, 10.6% BB, 20.6%K Runner on 1st only: .313 AVG, 7.7% BB, 24.2%K RISP: .195 AVG, 6.9% BB, 20.8% K So no, he doesn't K more, but he walks less and hits far worse.

Harry Chappas Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Crochet is pitching well enough to say the bullpen has 6 guys that can close a game for them. Offense needs to gain consistency. That said he has to put Phillips away there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'm just so glad we're carrying 9 guys in the bullpen. Seems like a great idea, when the bench is non-existent. And like that, phoned this one in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thanks again, for punting the series. Definitely not important games, am I right? More important to be the road team in the postseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
