Austin Voth and Joey Kreibel Appreciation Thread

[George Zuverink]

Isn’t it nice to be on the giving side of picking up leftovers?

Krehbiel is a nice guy and a funny guy. Someone you would love hanging around with at a backyard BBQ or some other type of social gathering. Unfortunately those traits couldn't help him keep the baseball inside the park. 

Voth, I think, should be used as a starter and he would get better results than we've seen from the bullpen. 

In any case, they each had their positive moments too. I appreciate that we got so many good starts from Voth in 2022. Krehbiel also had a good 1st half of 2022. We can't talk about the bad without the good. That's life. So celebrate the good.

May they both find success in their new clubs, except when they play against the Orioles.

How the Orioles got 17 starts of a ~3 ERA from Voth I don't understand, but it did help them finish above .500 in 2022, so I do appreciate that. 

What Voth and Spenser Watkins did was nothing short of incredible that year. Khreibel was also a top SU man for us until August. Incredible.

I always liked Watkins. I hope he see's some time in the majors with the Nats this year.

I think it is worth noting as @George Zuverinkmentioned above, the quality of folks we are discarding is rising. That’s to be expected for sure but it is nice to see two guys like this need to move on. I wish them both well and hope they have success elsewhere as long as it isn’t against us.

Do we  appreciate them?

2,4, 6, 8! Who do we appreciate? 

Eh, I guess Voth and Krehbiel!

Seriously though, both played a role in the Orioles resurgence in 2022, so they should at least be given their props for that.
