Dilon Tate Is Bringing The Heat!

I don’t know why this happens so often, when my comment doubles itself, but it’s happening so often like almost every time and I’m tired of fixing it. I’m sure there’s a country song out there about seeing double and being single and driving a quad

It just made me think of the character from Goodfellas.  

Get the papers, get the papers.  

CoC's comment was tongue in cheek, I believe.  He's never liked Tate and never misses an opportunity to dunk on him.  Won't ever comment on him when he's going good.

I -on the other hand- like Tate.  He's got a power arm out of the pen and has flashed before.  I think he could be a piece moving forward.  And we know Elias is probably going to give him every chance to succeed as he was a high draft pick.

He wouldn’t have been my choice tonight, but my next post is in the Hyde thread. Don’t like a lot of his decisions. I like Tate‘s stuff, but he has some work to be a next level reliever.

Wells is the best guy they have in the pen and in a high leverage situation that’s who I want. 

There should NOT be a designated closer on a team that wins maybe one to two games per week.

I was also dunking on the hold stat.

Yeah, his inherited runners stat is horrid.  Kid should never come in with runners on.

I believe the OH software just doubles your posts since you so often.  It saves you the typing.

Look at you, double dunking.   Takes real talent to do that.

I think Lopez might prove himself to be a good high-leverage reliever too. Alternatively, it makes sense to use him as several-innings middle relief, but so far Hyde, in a SSS of two games, seems to be auditioning him for closer.

Well, I’m not gonna take the easy way out and delete the thread. But man, for a guy with good velocity and movement he’s pretty disappointing.

If Coc comes in here to dunk again I’ll turn tail.

[Sports Guy]

He’s just not very good.  As with any reliever, he could always turn it on, discover some tweak and have a good year but overall, he’s nothing more than your 5th best reliever.

Another frustrating guy who looks like he’s turning the corner, then regresses.

He is always going to show flashes of brilliance because he does have good stuff…but he’s just not very good overall.

Allowed 23 of 43 inherited runners to score.

A few weeks ago, in a thread having nothing to do with Dillon Tate, we got off on a tangent that resulted in Can_of_corn noting that Tate had allowed 24 inherited runners to score, and wondering what the record was. 

Well, I still don’t know what the record is, but Tate doesn’t hold it, because he was beaten out this year by the Angels’ Steve  Cishek, 26 to 25.    Tate had a worse percentage than Cishek (25/53=47% vs. 26/61=43%), but had one fewer runner score.   He did well in September on that front, allowing only 2 of 10 inherited runners to touch home plate.   

Tate finished the season with a 4.39 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 6.5 K/9, 2.1 K/BB.

I want to see Tate back in 2022 just to piss off CoC.
