Then it isn't service time.
He's only a few days in the minors from being controlled through 2020 as opposed to 2019. This 10 day send down will cover it.

I thought that was covered last time. Thanks for the heads up. Then it is super smart. Not a super two issue at all.

Who would you send down?

They could have sent Brach down. I love what Brach's been doing, but they can't call on him until Wednesday/Thursday. The decision was between Brach and Gausman. I don't fault them, but I would have sent Brach down. We're fortunate that guys are making the decisions tough.

When you're short on relievers you can't send one down for 10 days. You're just replacing Brach who's been a steal for Depaula who is an uknown. I'd rather wait a couple days on Brach as opposed to losing him through the All Star break.

This is a very fair post. It was a call based on quicker availability in my estimation. I don't think Buck and Dan are in anyway taking the next 20 games lightly. One could say that Brach might be our second most valuable pitcher in the short run.

Me too. And obviously Buck and Dan as well.

Then it's even more confusing.

I think it was cleared up that he has a service time issue that this send out will take care of that I was unaware of. One that puts him back on track for the seventh year of control. Check the posts above. Again. I was not aware of this.

Showalter reminded reporters on Sunday that there's an end goal with the prized young righty and part of what they are doing, along with creating roster space, is to ensure Gausman isn't shut down early.

"We are managing his innings so at some point, he?s good enough and we are good enough to pitch the rest of the season."

It's also obvious that they are trying to limit his innings in order to pitch us to the WS championship. :2yay-thumb:

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.

      They've averaged 92 wins a year the last 3 years in the most difficult environment in the sport with basically the greatest disadvantages in the sport. Something tells me they know a hell of a lot more about this than you do.

      Not when they aren't worthy. At minimum the hitting coaches should be el gonezo

      That is the sign of a stable and successful organization.  Firing people.  Who could argue that?
