    What's the point of even having Kimbrel on the roster anymore? He can't close, he can't pitch from ahead, he can't pitch from behind. I think the guy is just begging to be cut at this time.

    Exactly LOL. There's so many rules for him. Can't have too little rest, can't have too much rest. Can't pitch in high leverage. Can't pitch with too LOW leverage.

    We can complain about Kimbrel and Hyde's relief choices, but the offense has scored one run. The Rays just pitched well today.

    I was going to say the same thing. You can't expect your pitching staff to give up zero. 

  3. I said it before but I like Eloy in the lineup because it's such a change of pace from the rest of our hitters. More of a bat to ball line drive/ground ball slapper.

    Willing to and wanted to are not the same thing.

    Some of us understand that you have to give up quality to get quality.

    You aren't getting multiple years of a quality price controlled pitcher without giving up quality in return.

    There were plenty both "willing" and "wanting". If you want to pretend that wasn't the case so be it. There wasn't a pitcher I would have traded him for, because he only would have been part of a package, not like it would have even been a straight up thing.

    That's just not true.

    Also, not like they couldn't use more pitching.

    Half is debatable, but there were many more than willing to include him in trade packages. Not even "headline" necessarily. Just as a piece to get a pitcher like Crochet. Even then seeing him crush now, are you trading him for pitching? Absolutely not.
