That’s why Frazier belongs on the bench!

Really would be nice if Fuji can establish himself as the 7th inning guy. I don't think it helps the cause to put bring Yennier in during desperate situations in the 7th with the expectation that he'll clean that up and then pitch at least part of the 8th too.

Remembering that Cano is a rookie has explanatory power imo. Highs and lows.

He's also a possible flash in the pan.  Also I don't see how what I said was wrong.  He's unreliable, been that way for awhile.  He's gotten very luck on hard hit balls for awhile now.  I hope he can recapture his form but as of now he isn't good.  Hopefully he does that because that would be a big boost to the pen.

A middle middle meatball on 1-2? Pretty much every MLB hitter would swing at that and most would make good contact.

He went with the pitch, didn’t try to do too much, and drone into right center gap. The dude was an all-star for a reason. Though I agree the pitch could have had better location. When Cano is not locating down, he usually gets hit.

Yeah because Danny pitched 2.1 IP last night and right now you can't trust Baker.  I look forward to seeing Fuji pitch.

He sucked at the beginning of the game.  Very lucky that Tampa didnt score four runs on him in the first three innings.  

Okay.  I missed the first 45 minutes or so but thought he was pretty effective since I started watching.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I’m not sure why people continue to ignore the ages of Norby and Stowers and how that effected their value. The Marlins received a 21 and 23 year old for Puk. Of course the Marlins still ended up with our 2 “old guys” but that was a last minute trade. They may not have known they would deal Rogers at the time and Puk was dealt earlier and may have carried more value. That said, it’s very possible Elias valued the long term starter over the short term reliever..and I agree that’s a mistake.

      Ok so not to beat a dead horse, but AJ Puk got me thinking. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I’ve got a Gator bias, but to my eyes, what the Dbacks gave up for AJ Puk is comparable to what we gave up for Soto or Rogers. If you’re Elias, why not target someone like this on the Marlins if you’re already scouting Rogers? It just highlights for me Elias’ failure to address the bullpen with ML acquistions (deadline or FA). It is becoming a real ding to putting us over the top thus far and is definitely the biggest concern we have going into this postseason. I came away satisfied enough at the deadline but can’t help but wonder if we perhaps could have combo’d getting Rogers and Puk with an additional fringe top 10 throw in? I’m still hoping that Rogers gains a few ticks back on his heater (a la Tillman in 2012) and that our bullpen will perform OK in these playoffs. But as much as I love Elias, I’m coming around to the fact that thus far, I think he’s made some head scratching decisions/non-decisions when it comes to the bullpen.
