4/2 vs O’s

[moonslav59]

This. Or 60 pitches. Whichever comes first. Although I think after this week it doesn’t matter with Whitlock, Paxton and Bello on rehab starts. He’ll move to the pen shortly. And credit to Houck he gave em 5 today and is in line for the W. Better than Kluber or Sale.

I'm hopeful Houck can take over Whitlock's pen role of 2021-2022. Moving Whitlock to the rotation created a big hole in what had been a shaky pen over those last 2 years.

Houck for Whitlock
Schreiber for Schreiber
Martin for Strahm
Jansen for Barnes/Ottavino
Joely for Sawamura/Davis

And if you have a 1.25WHIP on average, he will end up being pulled a batter into the 5th inning on average

Just watched the video of G going 485. Holy crap. Dude is strong.

Shut down inning. Hopefully, those won't be too rare this season.

Our pen is better and deeper than 2022 and even 2021.

I'd prefer he take Whitlock's long relief role, but getting to the 5th inning is the norm, these days.

BTW, Houck has a career 1.12 WHIP, so he might make it to the second batter in the 5th, on average.

4.48 runners after 4 IP at 1.12 compared to 5 runners after 4 at 1.25.

Feels like an upgrade for sure.

If Schreiber can be the 2022 Schreiber, again, our pen might be a huge plus.

Remember, he only had 4.1 IP by May 9th (33rd game of the season). He ended up with 65. (61 IP over the last 129 games.)

Give him 75-80 IP at his 2022 numbers, and watch out!!!

[moonslav59]

How many 1-2-3 innings has our offense had, this season?

[d-money]

What a struggle.

[d-money]

This is just pathetic. Can’t hang on to a lead.

[d-money]

Hope they can tack more runs.

I can't help but wonder with this new batters' clock, will JD have time to take his deep breath before getting in the batter's box?
