  1. Wilkerson............interesting choice........to even have on the roster.
  2. That should be enough to play short handed for a few games against the Rockies.
  3. I think I'd rather watch Burnes give up three homers than watch this death by a thousand cuts routine.
  4. You're the only one that sees a lot of things. Which is very evident in the way you........passionately repeat the same things every post you make.
  5. You're making a circular argument. They can put all of them in the pen but that doesn't give them any more of a guarantee of anything either. Let's say they do that and lose in the first round, then what? Let's keep them in the pen again in 2020? I agree it gives them a better chance but the team has flaws beyond that and it doesn't put them over the top and leaves them woefully thin in starting pitchers. It's the short term play and I'd rather take the path that potentially gives me multiple post season shots then make the shortsighted move for one chance that may or may not work out.
  6. The difference is that I don't think Hader was ever truly considered a starter by the organization. His transition the pen was long rumored, thus I don't think he had the same expectations.
  7. If all of Burnes, Peralta and Woodruff pitched out of the pen this year and we won the World Series and none of the trio ever started again, I'm still taking the World Series. I understand you can't guarantee things either way, I'm just saying. I get what you're saying and I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying, they were 1 game from the World Series last year which is usually not a developmental time the next year. The spot they're in, if you're ok with losing some series' and enduring some frustration now; well, if the trio of Burnes/Peralta/Woodruff all stays down for seasoning all season while guys like Jake Petricka and Alex Wilson pitch out of the pen here, that is probably going to be enough to cost you a playoff spot. I get it and I would be happy to get to the series and let things play out but I would have zero sympathy for the "we haven't developed any pitching" arguments that will pop up. If you roll with Nelson, Anderson, Davies, Chacin and Gonzalez and then have all of Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta in the pen you hurt your depth but that is probably a staff capable of making a run. A little bit lite on starting depth but if you are going to play for the short term then there you have it.
  8. I assume he's not a hard thrower? I've seen some varying gun readings on him. He's not a soft-tosser by any stretch, he'll sit in the low 90's. I've seen him hit 94-95, though not this year yet. If you have access to MiLB.TV, go to the bottom of the 3rd. With two outs and the bases loaded, he starts Tyler Payne with a called strike on a slow curve, and then absolutely eats him alive with two straight 4-seamers. Just gross. That sounds like a promising pitcher that no one talks about. Thanks for the info.
  9. You are what your record says you are. The Reds are coming too.
  10. So who do we play next, the Dodgers or the Cardinals?
