Actually, Kimbrel has had a few of those runs this year. Their comparable is that right now you can’t trust either of them in a playoff game. Maybe that changes with Soto as we move forward.
Not sure how many people are watching these on the Os YouTube channel but I think they are really well done. I have enjoyed them. Also gave me a slight sense of hope that this team may still rebound in September and October and be a legit contender. The guys interviewed are at least saying the right things.
This went from a fairly hopeful thing preseason to zero chance to now who knows.
1. Do you think it is possible?
2. If so, what stats would he have to put up?
I think the best iteration of our lineup has him leading off, just not sure if he will make it there this year or not. I certainly would not make a change right now, but if he continues at this pace you will want to get him as many ABs as possible.
I feel like Tanner Scott would fit so well in our bullpen. Can close to take pressure off of Kimbrel, plus he pairs well with Dominguez as a LH/RH flamethrower. On top of that he slides Cano back to a more comfortable role.
I agree. It would be awesome if he took off a little bit, showing he has made some adjustments and can handle being pitched certain ways moving forward. We were at our best as a lineup when he and Westy were going well.
To this point, we are in a position now to do this with the quality of the roster. Just need a couple guys to step up at a time and it will be a productive group.
