Romy and Sheets are on the 40 Man Roster. Likely replacements pending a DL for both once would have to infer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what has happened, but Kopech, Lynn and Giolito all took a major step back with their stuff this year. Kopech has been fine, and Lynn has pitched twice since the injury. I'm not concerned about either of them. Giolito looks terrible, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pitching in the same fastball range as Giolito right now. 91-93 mph from a RHP without elite spin is meat in todays MLB.

southsideirish71 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The extra bulk plus the lack of sticky stuff is really costing Gio these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t go so far as to say that’s a trend yet, but it is factually true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that doesn't even go into Kopech, who was averaging 97 mph last year and is around 95 this year, with further drop after the knee injury.

Too bad as he was on a roll before being hit. The same thing happened with Grandal, Moncada and now Mendick. They all were just starting to fire on all cylinders and then they got injured. The hits just keep coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, this team keeps getting hurt and guys have to try to get back into the swing of things every time. So they never develop a rhythm or timing at the plate.

AJ'S Cousin Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 On another note, go vote for Anderson. You can vote 5 times a day. I plan to do it everyday till the voting is over. Let’s get TA in the starting lineup. It may the only thing we may have to cheer about. MLB.COM. register and you can vote 5X a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
