I agree that's how they are using him, I disagree with that's how they should use him. It's very hard to play favorable matchups for four innings or more of work. That's how you burn out a bullpen. I understand match ups, believe me, I'm a LaRussa bullpen management fan. But LaRussa tended to match up in the 7th or 8th innings before going to a closer. the issue is you can't play matchup in games when the team is up or down 3 or more runs. Close games, sure, sometimes you gotta do what you have to do, but too often Hyde is matching up in the 5th or 6th inning down or up 3 runs and that's why his bullpen is tired pretty often. -

Would love to have him back. I would give them Povich and the other two arms back. Just not Cano. His 97 sinker does it for me too. -
I swear Cobb threw more good pitches in those 7 innings than in his 4 years with the Orioles. -

No disrespect to their greatness. But that was 3/4 eras ago. The game is completely different now. There were little to No analytics used. No obsession with stuff like launch angles and exit velos. The velocity of pitchers was much different and you may typically see 1-3 pitchers per night when those guys played. Now you may see a different pitcher every AB. It’s still the same game, but way different. -
How about Al Bumbry and Rich Coggins combining for 20 triples and 40 SB in 110 games ? That turned out pretty nice ! Coggins finished 6th in ROY voting as Bumbry took home the award. -
Frazier would be a weird guy to trade. He is only under contract for one year, so it would almost definitely be to a team that is trying to upgrade, but why would we trade him for anything less than a bullpen contributor? Only exception would be if they can find a team that wants to dump salary with a useful player a la Gausman/O’Day. -
I have softened on Melanie mostly because I think she is so obviously miscast and I think very good at non PBP roles. Geoff and Brett are the best tandem for my money.
