caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Did Ruiz always throw this hard...seems like he has picked up a tick or two. Now who gets the 8th? Guess another argument for not overspending on the pen in Ruiz...but still need that veteran savvy in Graveman and Kelly. At any rate, that's arguably the most impressive Ruiz has looked...

maxjusttyped Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Ruiz as the 5th option (once Kelly is back) in a bullpen is pretty ridiculous. I have no idea why people make him out to be a human gas can. He is a perfectly acceptable reliever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I've been pleasantly surprised by our 6-7-8 inning pitching this season. But to be fair I am expect disasters every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sale Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Love to see Ruiz execute in a high leverage situation. Hopefully that change up is for real - it really changes his value as a reliever. Smart move to use him here vs the 7-8-9. Has to be Graveman next right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He found a good change up to help him with lefties. His curve ball is kinda bad, so getting him a secondary pitch he can depend on to go with his fast but very straight fastball is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
