I really don't know if Junior gives me more confidence.
-
Well this is getting fun.
-
Seriously, does any pen give up more 0-2 hits? That wasn't a bad pitch, though.
-
Has to be the first bullpen in MLB history with 2 Guerras, doesn't it?
-
No, thanks. If the NL had the DH, Nelson wouldn't have got hurt and missed a season and a half. And be a shell of his former self. The biggest problem is he'll probably never be the same.
-
I get "Playing to win" this game because they have the lead, it's in the hand, and you don't even know if you'll have a lead in the next two games. You'd be saving Hader for potential situations that may or may not exist. It's a darned if you do, darned if you don't situation. If they take Hader out, end up losing 7 - 6, and then don't have a lead the next two days, Counsell would get absolutely crucified. Managing your resources (innings available) is easy to 2nd guess, and really, it just stinks that our bullpen sucks to the point that THIS decision even has to be made and 2nd guessed.... If they can't protect a 5 run lead with 6 outs, I'd crucify the pen, not Craig. There's another decision to be made here. If he doesn't come back out for the 9th there's probably still an opportunity for him to be available Sunday if needed.
-
Arcia's bat won't play worth a crap at 3rd. He'd probably be a fine utility infielder, but if he's starting, his value is at SS. Just not a good enough bat to start anywhere else.
-
If CCs reasoning for keeping Hader in is as BA suspects and they only were planning on having him pitch in this game in this series with the AS game coming up, that is terrible reasoning.
-
If we can't protect a 5 run lead with 6 outs to go with anyone else, that's a real problem. I would hate to not have him available for the rest of the series because they had to burn him out completely on a 5 run game.
-
With the Pirates, it always seems like either we own them or they own us within a given season, and you never know which one will happen in a given season.
-
I think you probably pull Hader now. If you let him go the distance, he's done til after the break.
-
Great to see Aguilar getting it done tonight.
-
Moustakas should have said "little bit outside" before the umpire made the call on that 1-1 pitch.
-
This bullpen is just a real problem. Sure, Claudio and Albers have been better lately, but do you really trust either? Guys like Guerra and Jeffress have struggled lately, and they could all easily switch roles next month, it's a crapshoot. It's just basically crossing our fingers until/if Hader is available at this point. 5 inning starters were totally fine when we had a lights out bullpen. Doesn't help so much now.
-
It didn't. And he wasn't going to call it until the batter literally told him to. Good thing no harm no foul or that would have been a travesty.
-
So the batter says "it got me" and the umpire then calls it a HBP. This homeplate umpire is a joke, which unfortunately is common.
-
Oh good, now the umpire is going to squeeze Hader.
-
Does any pen in baseball throw worse 0-2 pitches than our relievers?
-
Dubon played 44 innings of CF in the Red Sox organization in 2016. FWIW (probably not much), he had a perfect fielding percentage. Doesn't look like he has played outfield since. My guess is that he could acclimate himself to it just as well as Perez or Saladino, but I don't know that for sure. Given how thin our organizational OF depth has become, I am surprised they have not logged some innings for him in the outfield this season.
-
Looks pretty healthy to me.
-
Arcia shouldn't feel threatened by Dubon. Saladino should.
-
Saladino isn't going to be with the team after the AS break. I hope.
-
You're not wrong, but every team in the Central probably feels like the opportunity is prime for them to step up and take control.
