Saw one of 1973 wins - he relieved Travers who got a quick hook after walking the first 3 (or 4) batters in the 1st inning. That’s my maybe incorrect memory- oh yeh- a walk of bottom of the 9th Johnny Briggs homer too.
Yeh - Winker has already demonstrated that he can’t hit lefties. I’ll have to check Turangs and Mitchell’s minor league splits. And why rest Telez after he finally hits one; knowing his track record against LHP.
True. Although this thread is about the 2023 opening day roster. Regarding discussion for later next season, Yelich, Mitchell, Frelick, Weimer, Taylor and Chourio is 6 OF. I still think one has to go (Taylor).
What information is out there to lead us to believe that he cant recover from his elbow injury like many other starters have? He finished 4th in the 2020 Cy Young voting. Not a guy you give up on and DFA.
Those of us who don’t like the pick aren’t basing our opinions on just stats. We read what the so called experts have written. You can’t just dismiss their opinions because they HAVE seen these guys play.
I’m wondering what happens when he comes back. Does he spend the rest of the year in the minors. You can’t play Severino the second half and then go back to Caratini for the playoffs
