Why take the bat out of Kjerstads hand?

Because he can’t play 2nd base.

At this rate the Red Sux will win the division

I’m not ready to write off Irvin based off two poor starts. 

His xERA is awful. Literally the only thing he does better than average is not walk guys. He’s a 5th starter, if that.

1-11 with RISP. Way to come up big when it matters fellas.

Home runs or nothing. They don't have professional at bats when they have RISP. they are all looking to drink out of the stupid homer hose thing or whatever instead of working pitchers and putting together good PAs to get runners in. Instead we see Santander popping out like a rookie then hits a solo home er when nobody on down by three. Yay! 

Santander can take his empty homers and more on for all I care after this season.

Wasn’t he already replacing Hays in left?

Team may need another year.  Not enough pitching.  This is all on Elias and Sig.

Irvin is a swing starter and relief pitcher not a guy you start 30 times in a season.

I’ll be very surprised if we win tomorrow. I fully expect Carrasco to throw a gem vs us. Then we got 3 vs the Rangers who own us. Then go out to Seattle. This could get really ugly, really quick.

Elias gambled on very few pitching injuries this year after a healthy pitching staff last season and it's come to bite him in the ass.

Elias knew that he needed at least two impact relievers and he went out and just got Kimbrel. Cano was due for regression, Coulombe was due but got hurt instead. 

Either way, he did not do his job correctly this offseason because he's too timid. 

I know this team is in a funk, and they will be fine, but the bullpen being a mess is on Elias because only the injury to Coulombe could not be seen.

It's actually 4 against the Rangers and I actually expect them to win Burnes start on Thu. But I said they'll lose 8 of 10 heading into the off day

Can’t wait for Grayson to throw a gem tomorrow only to have the offense shoot a blank. That’s the way it’s going right now.

They will have no pitching next year. Grayson, Povich, Irvin... then what. They are a .500 team with that. 

[oriolediehard]

How bad does it have to get before Elias does anything more than nothing?  It is obvious our pitching is very bad that should have been dealt with this past offseason.
