  1. He was good today, but at 100+ pitches. 3 righties coming up with a fully rest pen (outside of Cishek), he shouldn’t have started that inning. That ball was a HR most days. Yeah, I get that reasoning. Given we have the Chatwood/Monty special the next two days, I guess I don't mind trying to squeeze one more inning out of him the way he was throwing. I’m sure that was part of it, but up 1-0 do what it takes to win today. Figure out tomorrow/Friday when they happen.

  3. I'm torn. I like Happ a lot, but I'm worried about cost and I'm a little worried about how similar he is to Quintana and Lester. Having 4 lefties in the rotation kinda irrationally worries me as well
  4. What’s league average in high leverage and RISP spots? Also we give ourselves more chances than anyone in those spots because, you know, we are good and lead the league in OBP. So being a little below on average on that isn’t the worst thing/kinda expected. High leverage: 90 RISP: 99 We've got the most PAs with RISP, 3rd most high leverage PAs. I guess I'd agree that through sheer volume we're able to overcome relative struggles, but I wouldn't say the struggles are expected. Well I mean with the volume you’d assume maybe below league average rates because with how often we get in those spots if we were above league average we’d be averaging like 8-10 runs a game
  5. JA Happ is getting traded, no team yet. We’ve been mentioned, I really don’t care for him

  7. The wrist had to be so fucked up last year. Not DL’ing him and letting it heal properly and having him play through it is one of the dumbest things this FO has done. I fear they are doing the same thing to KB.
  8. The stuff looks good today, it’s definitely most likely not a skill but Jon seems to be mastering “take your 350 foot fly out you [expletive] and I’ll take the out.” This year
  9. I really wanted an Eovaldi. Same. I figured he was ours if we really wanted him. And the return wasn't that great. Hopefully we get Wheeler now
  10. Nice catch Albert, that was really good
  11. Ridiculous. Just DL KB. It makes no sense to handcuff ourselves when we have a real MLB option like Bote in AAA
  12. I expect another DL trip, I’d be surprised if there’s any crazy injury in there. You’d assume they checked him out thoroughly last time he went to the DL with it.
  13. Get LaStella the horsefeathers off this team and get Bote up. Ridiculous Tommy is starting today
  14. Must have felt good today [tweet]https://twitter.com/carriemuskat/status/1022158955026571264[/tweet]
  15. We didn’t even have 3 of our best ~6 and 2 of our top ~4 players in tonight. But yes we should probably just not bother making the playoffs.
