At the least, we can add an extra pitcher. We always have Newcomb to throw 200 pitches in a losing cause. Plus extra 1B work for Campbell. Sooner he gets 1B down, sooner Mayer will be promoted. And if Story gets, Anthony will be promoted. -
I think we need a reset. I hope it's postponed.
-
Crochet will be happy pitching in meaningless games in September. "Thanks for saving me for this."
-
Cora "We have to protect our players. It's a long season. He's thrown many pitches over last few starts. Our bullpen just has to executer better." Is that all you got?
-
Cora just wasted 85 pitch effort from Crochet. Crochet is pissed. Hendriks loads the bases with no out. What the hell is Cora thinking. I wished he was still at his daughter's graduation. He sucks.
-
Why is Crochet coming out with 85 pitches? Cora does what he always does. Over manage.
-
What you say is absolutely correct. My only point is why doesn't Brez say it and not give us the BS about he is still 'learning' in AAA. His main reason for staying in AAA is not PERFORMANCE related.
-
Here's list of Baseball Prospects' top hitting prospects. They were all All-Stars, some having immediate success. Notice Anthony has far more AAA PA than many on this list. I love what Brez has done but quit the BS about he is still 'learning'. Remember, Anthony's AAA manager said he has NOTHING more to learn at the AAA level. If I'm the owner, I would tell him to promote Anthony or go find another job.
-
So our rotation now is Crochet-Giolito-Bello-Dobbins-Buehler. Is Fitts coming back soon?
-
As shine for Campbell has worn off a bit, we are saved by our rookie catcher. He now has the second best OPS with catchers with 100+ at bats in AL, .812. He's only second to the Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh. Interesting that they share a same birthday, 11/26 two years apart. His development has been fun to watch. Narvaez, Campbell, Rafaela, Abreu, Mayer and Anthony. Our future. Throw in Devers, Bregman and Duran, we should score runs.
-
Team's won-lost record by starters. I always liked looking at this. I can't remember what year it was but a starter received inordinate amount of run support and the team won all the time. Can't remember who it was. 6-4 Crochet 6-1 Buehler 4-2 Bello 3-3 Dobbins 2-2 Giolito 2-3 Newcomb 2-7 Houck It would be interesting to see blown saves into this table.
-
Can Chapman go 3 straight games? He threw 7 pitches on Monday and 6 pitches last night.
-
How then do you evaluate Cora? Or any manager for that matter. If there are no criteria, then what that tells me is that managers are overrated. Hell I can fill out a lineup as and come up with pitching/hitting match ups if I had the analysis sheet in front of me. Brez should just buy an AI.
-
Burdi, Bernardino, Whitlock and Hendriks all ready to pitch out of the bullpen. Chapman only threw 7 pitches last night.
-
I just hate watching Bello pitch....pretty much the bottom line. There should be a betting line for 75 pitches over and under going into the 4th inning for Bello. That would be the only way I'd enjoy watching him pitch these days. His though process is I'm okay because I still have chance to turn a double play and get out of this.
-
Dobbins has been told NOT to pace himself. Throw as hard as he can from pitch 1. Don't expect to last anymore than he did today. At least that's what I heard during the telecast. They want him pitching around 95-97 versus 93-95.
-
Quit making fun of Rafaela. His batting AVG and OPS is higher than Story's. And Story is still afforded #5 spot in the lineup.
-
Make that 9 outings now.
-
Wilson hasn't given up a run in last 8 outings. (sorry if jinxed him)
-
I see what you did.
-
Thank you Dobbins. 52 pitches in 4 innings. Bello, time to grow up. Learn to throw strikes. It's between going to the dentist or watching you pitch. I was hoping this was the year. Nope.
-
He doesn't make contact with the ball. The ball makes contact with his bat.
-
Dodgers have the highest payroll in major leagues. Not the Mets.
-
I am guessing the rotation will be Dobbins, Buhler and Crochet for this series. Start #6, Dobbins, started 5 times, team record 2-3 Start #7, Buhler, started 6 times, team record 5-1 Start #11, Crochet, started 10 times, team record 6-4 Right now, Dobbins maybe ahead of both Giolito and Bello. Buhler has to be the #2 starter.
-
Interesting that he's taking another day off to work not only on his hitting but also working out at 1B. I really like this idea. It's an internal move. We don't need to wait for trade deadline. It will also open up a spot for Mayer. No brainer. I'm also okay with putting Mayer at short. Now how can we get Anthony up to the majors?
