It feels like Stearns went into the deadline intent on trading Dubon for relief help, and when the market for Dubon was far less than expected, panicked and just took whatever he could get at the last second.
I'm sorry, I find Hook's trips to the mound to be kind of amusing at this point. Sure, you haven't been able to help these guys much all season, but maybe something you say in the next 30 seconds will be useful.
It says a lot about how much teams respect Arcia when the tying and go-ahead run are both in scoring position with 2 outs and a light hitting pitcher on deck, and they don't put him on.
You were mockingly saying earlier "I see this is a season's over week". Like literally in this very game thread. That wasn't "mocking", it was how this season has gone. My mistake. You're not wrong.
This pen is going to keep us out of the playoffs. You can't compare to our last year position because this pen is nothing like last year. I mean we just have no good options. We're winging it every single night.
I have no idea what we saw in Pomeranz to acquire him, let alone for him to be the guy here in the 8th in a close game. He isn't good. And when he misses, he's not even close.
Sporadic playing time is good for Pina. When he has to be ridden, he struggles and wears down. He's probably one of, if not the best backup catcher in baseball.
