Not sure that you can rely on him long term, but I'm sure he will pitch when he is here until the next time he can't.

The bullpen could use the help. Hope he pitches for a while without getting hurt.

The two innings is a little odd, nothing wrong with being a one-inning reliever, it isn't 1987, and that comment by Hyde is weird. Unless they think two innings is less strain than throwing on back-to-back nights, I don't get it.

This is good news. But it’s also a bit like Lucy, Charlie Brown and the Football. There’s really no since thinking this time will be different. Of course that won’t stop me from doing it...no question the man has talent. 

I’ll be honest: he wasn’t that impressive to me last year.  Even though he only walked 2 batters in 8.2, his command wasn’t very good.   I’m not expecting him to be a savior.   But, happy to be wrong.

@MurphDogg I think the two inning hopes are based on pitch count, certainly. But I think you're right that they would like to not use him on back to back days, if possible. I watched the Zoom conference, and Hyde did say that it is very difficult to protect pitchers these days. Personally, I say throw him out there, even back to back nights on occasion. It is time to take the training wheels off.

Still it did sound like (from reading, didn’t hear Hyde and I know tone matters) that Hyde was almost mad at Harvey for getting hurt again.   But I am sure Hyde himself is stretched pretty thin right now and his mood in general is not the best.

I did not get that from watching it. From my perspective, Hyde is not mad at him. His answer was direct, and I think it was telling of how much he is tired of having to juggle a stable of struggling relievers. He has to protect nearly every reliever he has access to, but it's not about Hunter only. At some point, enough is enough. Throw him out there and let him sink or swim...or go back on the IL. 

I think Hyde has handled himself with class and dignity through a terrible stretch.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.

      My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.

      But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
