Although, it should have been about 10-1 going into the ninth. Opportunities missed. But Robert was amazing and Moncada looks like a different player. Expand Andrus did not have a good day at the plate neither today nor yesterday. He refuses to take a walk and keeps swinging at pitches outside the zone, and leaving a ton of RISP. Time to try Romy at second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way to tell if Pedro is going to do a good job yet, but this strikes me as one of those times they felt they had room to get him the work they thought he needed. Unfortunately he had to throw so many pitches. But it's better thsan blowing a save in a 1 run game tomorrow because he's a little loose with his stuff.

Every time he goes in a game you know something bad is going to happen. His fastball is now slowing down and it's never had any movement, nor could he pinpoint the pitch to the right part of the zone. His secondary pitches are also weak and pathetic. Please DFA this loser and bring someone else up. I am sick and tied of watching the other good teams show how they can properly evaluate and develop good bullpen pitchers and we keep failing miserably in the front office, scouting and coaching departments. Expand Diekman is worse. I guess they are keeping him because he is a lefty. But not to pitch to Yordan Alvarez with the bases loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Tanner Banks was extremely protected last year and undoubtedly would get absolutely smoked with a larger sample. There’s a reason he’s almost 32 and basically a career minor leaguer.

Totally irrational to associate him with that single game, but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetLemon77 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 So he's a "piece of -----" because you had him pegged as being a wife beater based an accusation, even though the evidence supposedly proved otherwise?

He is a shitbag whom I don’t want anywhere near my favorite team. Every time the camera showed his cringeworthy face my skin crawls. Nothing about his performance yesterday changes that. That said, he did his job. Doesn’t change my view one iota and I still long for the day he is DFA’d. There is no conflict here for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
