Hill threw a really nice game today in Oakland. Maybe we chance it to Closer - sale Set up men - houck, schreiber
-
Saves may be an artificially manufactured stat, but being on the wrong end of a walk off is really hard.
-
Maybe Rafeala has not made the top 100 list because of his 26 percent strike out rate. If he keeps hitting, I would like to see him get a chance at Portland!
-
The danger of guaranteed contracts.
-
Brazier gave up a run in the 9th today. Going into the 9th with a 5 to 1 lead and seeing brazier on the mound is so scary and a 5 to 1 lead seems so fragile. How is Cora not a raging alcoholic with this bullpen,
-
Salem got a win today. Belen with his first tater of the season. Paulino with his 3rd tater of the season.
-
We are leaving Oakland back at .500! Been a long time coming!
-
Yes a trade was always an option open to him.
-
Wong with his 3rd tater of the season and downs with his 9th tater of the season.
-
Hamilton with his 5th tater of the season for Portland.
-
Binelas with his 11th tater of the season.
-
No, I think he had a choice of where to spend his budgeted dollars.
-
It all comes down to how he is pitched. As long as they are not pitching him inside, he will hit.
-
Hang’em Chaim continues to a huddle the deck chairs.
-
I feel like verdugo and hernandez are heading back toward their career norms. Even Bradley is contributing with defense and hitting better than I expected. As story keeps hitting, our offense will get more deadly.
-
Cora seems to be using scheibner as the designated fire fighter. How long until he ends up being over used?
-
Sikes is trying to catch Kavadas and binelas for the system lead in walks. Rafeala continuing to make serious noise and hopefully earn a spot in the top 100 list.
-
I do not think it was an either or situation. It was an exercise in roster building: Did Hang’em Chaim do the following to build his roster: 1.) Depth of starters - yes. I have been pleasantly surprised by how well his starters have performed. 2.) build a roster of quality position players and have depth - yes. Not Hang’em Chaim’s fault some of our guys struggled early! 3.) build a complete bullpen from innings eaters to set up men to a quality closer - no and that is his downfall. He knew the budget. He knew where the dollars should have been allocated. He chose to hope barnes could recover his form. Note to Hang’em Chaim- hope is never a good or viable strategy!
-
Granberg started game two for Portland. But then left the game. Not sure what happened.
-
He pitched the 8th today in Oakland in a blow out.
-
Mata two innings pitched. No hits 2 walks, 2 strike outs, 1 unearned run surrendered.
-
Wong with his 2nd tater of the season, Hernandez with his 4th tater of the season. Mieses with his 5th tater of the season. Bello had given up 1 run through 5 innings but ran into trouble in the 6th and ended up giving up 3 runs in 5.1 innings. Struck out 8.
-
I do not think Hang’em Chaim is in over his head, I think he made one bad decision concerning the back end of his bullpen. If we do not blow 12 save opportunities out of 52 games (a staggering number) we are right in the middle of things and with sale and maybe Paxton back contributing next month.
-
We are up in Oakland 4-0 and then they bring in strahm for the 8th and he promptly tries to lose the game for us. Dumpster fire bullpen continues!
-
Sikes of Salem had a weird night. He was 1 for 1 (a triple) with 4 walks!
