South Side Hit Men Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 A DFA if he needs surgery. Free up a slot on the 40 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there are insurance reasons why it's more advantageous to stash him on the 60-day IL so you can delay that decision until the offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better hope the insurance company eager enough to take on covering Joe Kelly is solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounding_Third Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So thankful for the TLR wisdom to drop Tepera for a more expensive & injured Kelly who couldn't even start the season. TLR didn't want Tepera after his Astro's cheat comments and thought a torn biceps was a better choice. Gosh he's so smart! We can all learn so much baseball from him! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Would be happy to be wrong but that didn’t sound like someone who will be ready to stay off the IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just send him back to the damned Dodgers. Will only cost half his remaining salary to dump him. Which is a lot more than we could get away with trying to get rid of Leury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 LaRussa in post games saying it wasn't an arm injury... cracking my ass up... was he actually watching Kelly shaking his arm? You can't make up how clueless this dude is 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make up how clueless this dude is i think someone has to talk to him and tell him while they realize there are things to keep in house, saying something like this makes their fanbase think the team thinks they couldn't be more dumb. Even Ozzie called him out on some similar BS earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonxctf Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 it's a weird rabbit hole to go down, but on Tuesday's game, Lambert comes in, throws all of 2 pitches and then TLR puts Kelly out for the 7th. He could have easily let Lambert pitch the 7th, thus not using Kelly at all and him having to pitch on back to back days. (or swap Kelly with Graveman in this scenario) His constant insistence to not use Lambert or Lopez for more than 1 inning, causes over-usage of the bullpen and "could" have potentially saved Kelly's injury.

GreenSox Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Kelly was a "buy high" off of a career year in the first place. He's been a very average pitcher, at best, during his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
