vs. GIANTS, 8/13


OFFNY

Recommended Posts

This is his 1st year starting without heading to the pen or Norfolk. I think he's still figuring it out.

Yep, unfortunately it is hard to win pennants and have to figure it out. We ad a lot of those in the bad days. Although Dylan seems to have figured it out pretty quickly. I think Kevin just still does not have another pitch that he can use effectively.

I think he does, it is just inconsistent like his run support.

I believe he's referring more to the fact that Bumgarner is getting 3 to 4 inches off the plate which basically makes him untouchable

My post was tongue and cheek for those who believe Gausman and MG are getting the same calls. Of course it matters.

    • You said Ortiz was in the range of Basallo. That’s completely laughable.  They aren’t even close.    Bradfield has been in the range of Ortiz, as some have him just inside the top 100 and some don’t. Now, a few places did place Ortiz higher than any spot Bradfield has been but it took a while for Ortiz to be ranked and Bradfield not so much. Beavers will be there soon enough and since Beavers is much younger, they definitely could value Beavers as much or more than a guy like Ortiz…especially a team that’s far away.
    • I don't want to overstate it but imo having one, or preferably two, slots in the bullpen that you can shuttle guys with is a must.
    • Keep in mind that the bullpen had to cover 6.1 IP yesterday. 4 IP on Friday. All scoreless. Btw. Throwing 13.1 IP in a 3 games series is a ton for a bullpen.  I do agree that we use our pen so much that it would be more valuable to have a shuttle spot as the last spot than a guy like Viera. We should have a fresh arm for every game with the shuttle. 
    • I don't think it's an outlier so much as by design.  Elias has been targeting LH bats in the draft. My guess is he thinks he can get a RH bat for the outfield on the cheap if he needs one.
    • Four hits and 2 ER in 1.1 IP is acceptable?  
    • Thank you for allowing me to join.  We obviously have more pressing issues to deal with.  And you all have probably been over this a hundred times.  I was thinking about the prospect of losing the Santander and Hays right-handed at-bats in the OF soon (Hays will of course continue to fight into next year) and then I looked at our OF depth and saw almost all lefties in the wings.   Maybe Mayo, Norby and Rhodes will become factors, but when you get right down to it, I don't see a RH hitting, starting OF'er on the horizon.   Am I missing something?  Not a big deal right now, but seems like an outlier thing.  
    • I don’t think we see McDermott this year.  His control is a major hurdle.  I’m not sure how Povich would do out of the pen.  I imagine it would be a challenge to get used to. But, I do like the idea of bring pitchers in as a reliever to give them a taste at a young age like the Os did back in the day.
