6/17 - Do we really have to keep playing these games? (Cubs and Braves)

So this happened:

 

 

Theo must be on another bender.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

He looks unemployed. He should take Jed’s job.

[Bertz]

 

I'm hopeful that the disastrous outings in Baltimore and New York were just bad outings and not tied to the SP/RP thing. After all it was the first time through the order that things went to hell

 

Don't pitchers occasionally get dead arms when they are moving around between being a SP and a reliever? Feels like he didn't have his usual command and stuff in those games.

 

Yeah that's the hope. His velo was down a bit too those two starts and seemed back up today, so fingers crossed.

 

I would definitely keep running Steele and Thompson out there as SPs for the foreseeable future. Feels like each of them is ~50/50 to be a legit SP, which isn't great but would mean ending up with one is pretty likely.

 

If we can use these next few months to find out one of them is really worthwhile as a SP and also let Kilian work through his growing pains, it should pay dividends next year.

Cubs caught some breaks with the wind blowing in but played a good game.

Despite the crap product on the field, I always enjoy when the "fly the W".
