This is why Elias is where he is and why these guys are on TV. Lol … good grief, no , no way… the closer situation will be solved internally hopefully or with much cheaper deadline rental.
Those innings were NASTY though lol. Without Miller we don’t get past Detroit in 2014 because we would have likely been facing him.
I was fine with it and still am.
He looked at the mound dirt about six pitches in a row as if very uncomfortable. He should have been removed right then.
The larger problem is this bullpen is a dumpster fire .. and it all starts with not having any real shutdown arms.. nobody throws 99-100 .
Either they make a trade or we are in for a long summer of too many blown leads/saves.
Elias failure to upgrade this bullpen is the single biggest challenge this team faces going forward .. maybe the post Means/Bradish return and shuffle leads to an upgrade by default/lateral movement but it is just unfortunate he did not go get another reliable arm.
Maybe Darth Vader retires before Gunnar hits the market .. this article is a tease .. vague comments by Jim Callis.. still he is 71
