Tobias Myers warming up

 

We could use 2024 Tobias.

Jansen is just not seeing the ball.

I know Jansen is in theory a power threat at the plate, but I'm never going to be excited about acquiring somebody that was hitting .204. Kind of like all the people that wanted us to add Gallo back in the day. No thanks.

Still fine to trash Jansen even though things are going well, right? 

If we cut him loose, the Dodgers would claim him immediately 

All their catchers are injured

I actually thought counsell did well with bullpen if I remember.   But he had a lot more people to work with in sept 

Counsell used Andrew Chafen 10 or 12 to many times, like he was Josh Hader or something. That was my dagger.

I'm with you. I never understood the optimism.

[kevinisaname]

Dang, that was looking like a great AB for Vaughn. Too bad he couldn't finish them off.

[greenlawler]

You think Uribe is available tonight? 

[greenlawler]

There has to be another option than Jansen.

Go with an eight man lineup.

[kevinisaname]

A leadoff walk to a weak-hitting catcher does not inspire confidence.

[RobertCrawley]

Be good to have Grant Anderson back.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Stop nibbling and walking people late in games!

Should be available. But a two-inning shutdown appearance by Myers would be optimal.

Our relievers love that

[kevinisaname]

Yep, go with Ashby. Good move. Hopefully he has control.

[RobertCrawley]

Hard throwing, overworked, Aaron Ashby coming in.

I’m going to beat the Jeferson Quero horse until it’s dead.

[Bulldogboy]

Ashby again? Remarkable

I have to wonder if we ever will again.

Yes, he's cooled a bit lately.  No, I don't care much about that.

Until he's injured from overuse.

[kevinisaname]

Beautiful, Aaron!

[folly412]

Every day Ashby strikes again!

[BCF]

I’m pretty sure manager would know about who’s overused or can pitch than some random people on a message board 

[markedman5]

Ashby has been just nails……
