forphase1 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 To answer my own question, no, I think I'd let Irvin continue until he gave up a baserunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are building his pitch count up, I'd prefer him to Fuji, but not much I can do to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't build his pitch count up if you don't let him pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justD Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 4 minutes ago, forphase1 said: Of course he does. I've never claimed that his lack of hitting was due to not caring or not trying or whatever. For whatever reason he just can't do it. He's clearly frustrated, and I certainly would be too. He's a great talent and even if he could just consistently OPS .700ish, I'd be happy. His defense and baserunning ability is good enough to carry a weak bat. But there is no defense or baserunning ability good enough to carry a bat as terrible as he's been lately IMO. I know it reads as tho I was saying you didn't recognize that, but I wasn't. Just wanted to remark about his reaction, and your post gave me the chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree it didn’t travel far but that is because it cool air in Oakland. You hit that in Baltimore in this time of year in heat it travels lot farther.

Dunk35 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Westburg is now sub 300 OBP and sub 700 OPS. A few guys need to start hitting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy F-Face3 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Cedric should be patient before taking off. The A's were talking about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't thrown more than 41 pitches in over a month before his last start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
