Thank God Hyde has enough sense today to not let Flaherty flounder, but the rate things are going it might still be tied before Perez gets warm. 

Can't blame Hyde. Once Flaherty was acquired, he had to use him. But Flaherty has pitched himself out of the rotation. If it were up to me, he's pitched himself off the team.

JF can just not be part of the playoff rotation.  He is extremely inconsistent and his stuff, while good at times, just does not fool hitters overall.

 

And being honest, half the time he acts as if he just doesn't care.

 

Bad trade by Elias but it is what it is.  Just don't make it worse by giving this guy a spot come playoff time.

We need to score more runs or a shutdown bullpen.

We should put Flaherty in the bullpen.

on waivers and sent to the AAA bullpen perhaps, we got too good of bullpen arms on the roster and in AAA to just throw that guy in the MLB BP

I hope none of the prospects given up for Flaherty turn out to be any good. 

Hard to root against a guy but I am with you here.  I will root that they dont turn out to be much so I dont have to be bitter about how horrible the trade is for the next half decade.

    • Hard to argue with a lot of your points. He's had two 1-1 and should have taken Witt over Rutschman and has a poor defensive second baseman with hitting issues with his other one.  He gets one more offseason with bigger pocketbooks. He gets one more year to put up or shutup.
    • Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. A.

    • Let him walk. That pop up with the bases loaded and no outs sort of encapsulates the entire postseason for us. It was a pathetic effort and we ended up with squat in a clutch situation.  The HRs are cool but he doesn't hit for average and is only getting older. And he sucks in the playoffs. Goodbye.
    • Is Brandon Hyde going to pull out the “ we just need to do a better job” boilerplate or is he coming up with another way to say the same thing?    It’s easy to be snarky right now. There’s choking under pressure and there’s whatever the team has done over the last couple months. “Choke” doesn’t begin to cover the gag they threw up the last two nights when the season was on the line. Fans leaving the stadium right now aren’t just disappointed, many of them feel betrayed. Hard to blame them. I wonder if Elias might feel the same way. 
    • I just can't comprehend how the 2023 team PLUS Corbin Burnes devolved into this pile of excrement. This may be a .500, non-playoff team next year. I didn't expect any sort of magical run this playoff season, but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed AGAIN on the national stage. 
    • Better yet, where was Adam Frazier when we needed him most.....oh, wait, in the other dugout.    Bases loaded, no one out....sure could have used that guy that Hangouters had to jettison out of here favor of Jackson Holliday.
