EmirOfShmo Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Watching a Corbin pitched game is painful. Now in the 6th we have 2 on with 2 out with Garcia at the plate. Fly ball down the left field line. Fan (young kid) reaches over the rail & catches the ball. So he's called out by the ump. It was a Seattle fan. Wow! They called him out after the review! Boooooo....losing 4-1 end of 6th...

Good news: Ruiz 2-2 They have a few relievers they have zero trust in. So, when you have to choose between them or using a guy 3+ days in a row. They do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floro and Harvey should only have been used if it was late into extra innings. Edited May 26 by Ball Security 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those situations where there are no real good options. Weems is approaching Rainey territory for me. Just unusable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Now they have like 15 days in a row without one off. Meanwhile, they have guys they really don't want to play at all like Rainey taking up a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved standing in the SRO section watching him catch the final out in the NLCS. But it just wasn’t happening for him here. Hopefully Thomas can catch some of his 2023 magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get how some could argue maybe sending Meneses down with his multiple options. But to be honest, while grateful for Robles' role in 2019. He's had 5 years to get better and he hasn't. He'll always be a WS Champ. I'm fine with this. Even with his HR, I would have let Gallo go weeks ago. Probably Senzel too. Go young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Sad to see another member of the 2019 team leave, but it was time to move on from Robles. Hope he finds a landing spot somewhere in the big leagues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying there is a guy in AAA who can just come in and take his spot. But he can't be used in pretty much any situation now. Give me an unknown over that right now.

He's 26, but has a 0.95 ERA across 16 AA and 1 AAA appearances. He has a little wild (3.8 BB/9) but he also K's a ton of batters: 16.0/9. I also like Jose Ferrer--struggled last year, but was pretty dominant throughout the minors--although he has had a shoulder issue, so who knows if/when he comes back. I also think Robert Garcia should get more use--his ERA isn't pretty, but he has a 2.38 FIP, with a .435 BABIP. He's K-ing almost 13/9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I think guys like Weems and Law could be expected to be sharper if they weren’t sitting for week between appearances. Perhaps Rainey would be better if he didn’t sit for two weeks. Rainey has appeared in three games in May. Three. Hunter and Floro both have pitched 12 times so far this month. I didn’t have a problem with yesterday’s decisions. Parker, who has shown up to be a stud, was dealing. I didn’t mind him working the seventh. Law hadn’t pitched in a week and it showed. Couldn’t go with Floro because he pitched three days in a row. But he didn’t have to. The day before,Barnes only threw seven pitches the previous inning. He could have come back out. Law was another option. I was hoping the Doolittle addition would help with the decision making behind the bullpen management. We may see Corbin to the bullpen when Cavalli or Gray comes back. Ferrer, Ribalta, and Brzykcy are good names to watch like @Riggo#44 mentioned. Matt Cronin is another one to keep an eye on. He’s showing well at the lower levels after recovering from injury. He may fly up the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jordan Weems is the Patrick Corbin of the bullpen--give up all hope when he's in the game. I have no idea why Rainey is on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, they were beating the Twins by nine runs in the ninth. Why pitch Floro there? Why not go with J Barnes or Weems? (Rainey threw 23 pitches the day before after his 14 day layoff). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
