I don't get why Brinson wasn't up there. Get a guy up who can tie the game up. But I won't be shocked to see him stick even with the waive of players returning, they'll send down the pups.
Someone mentioned it earlier and I'm too lazy to look but Guerra needs to start pitching with a little more tempo. Holy was this start painful to watch and he never did really get in a rythum. Get it and throw it. Pitchers make crap way too complicated.
You missed my point. Hader is a premier talent. The guy Counsell used instead is a fringe major league pitcher. It's comparable to bringing up Braun in 2007 and sitting him in favor of Counsell. Counsell has done a fine job this year but that doesn't make him immune to criticism. They've had trouble closing out games. A lot of that is on the pitchers but some of that is on the manager. You might have a great point if Hader had been up a week. He literally met the team at the ballpark. It was okay for CC to not wanting to put him out there game one. There will be plenty of opportunities. As it was, CC was aggressive enough use Knebel for 4 outs to secure a win.
Can only have 40 men on the roster. Eventually some of these guys won't be apart of that. Hopefully Stearns gets hot when it comes to deciding that and moving on from the others.
No. If they're bringing up a OF being up an actual OF. And with Thames and Aguilar there already, Cooper is going to have to wait for an injury or Aguilar to completely fall off. Can't hamstring our manager more than he already is with putting guys out of their natural positions.
Yeah, what an idiot manager Counsell is. This team would be 20 games over if it wasn't for him incompetence. Just put Hader in the closers role already.
