Save pen arms for the next day and not have to use position players, which is bad trend in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 “It feels better,” Ventura said of Shields. “We’ll know more when he goes out there, but it feels good. He and Coop have been out there working on some stuff, and they feel good about it. “And that’s good news for me, too.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insp Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 18, 2016 -> 05:57 PM) Don Cooper has gotten more mileage out of fixing Matt Thornton than any coach in major league history has out of fixing one player. Thornton is still pitching with the Padres. Perhaps we should have traded for him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was over at 8-0 why not just leave him out there? Respect for veterans is more important than preserving the pen. I'm sure Ventura's plan is to limit it to Purke, Ynoa and then give an inning of work to someone like Jennings, Albers or Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
