chw42 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Should McGuire just come in to catch 9th innings so Liam can actually throw a breaking pitch with a guy on 3rd? Seems like neither Yaz or Liam have any confidence in Yaz blocking a pitch in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality, not quantity, is what is important. Banks, Burr, Foster, Graveman, Hendriks, Kelly, Lopez, Ruiz and Sousa. These are the "multi-championship" bullpen options in May, 2022.
