Skubal’s hurt? Don’t worry, they said, we have Framber!

Not tracking with you. You cite a lot of acquisitions via trade and free agency. And I suspect that the minor league free agents on those teams suggest that LA and NY might be better at identifying and developing players other teams have given up on. More importantly, can you defend Hanifee, DeJesus, Guenther, etc..? I don’t mind taking risks on bullpen arms, but they need to produce if that’s part of your strategy. There is no defending this bullpen (so far) this season.

Heard it had something to do with forgetting to put a cover sheet on his TPS report, which is unforgivable.

Agree that the “dumpster diving” arms in the pen aren’t working—was reacting to your comment about the starters.

Too soon?

Help is coming

Uh-oh

Holton/Madden literally put together 6 innings comparable to what Skubal would have yesterday. Montero has been consistently effective. I agree as it applies to the pen, but the only weak link in the rotation has been Flaherty.

Two runs? Cue the 4-hour torrential downpour.

No fans reminds me of pandemic baseball. Good times!

Anyone know where Alex Cobb is?

Zach Short AB’s are a waste. I’d much rather see Workman. It doesn’t matter that Short is right-handed—he’s horrible offensively.

Pitching chaos worked for a month or so. Not sure how that can be sustained over 130ish games

Can they pitch?
