WENCEEEEEEEEEEEL

2-run jack!

[Tigermojo]

Wenceel!

[chasfh]

Keep it up, Wenceel Perez, and I might start coming around on you.

Gotta work on this, though ...

But his LSTF rate is .750. 😁😁

Wentz....yeah, it's a throwaway game. Click.

[1776]

Wentz headed to the mound. 🤞

[gehringer_2]

You knew once Faedo hit a RHB that he’d not be effective

[kdog]

Joey Wentz's flat 90 mph fastball against J-Ram....it ended up in Akron.

Everyone is so focused on prospect upgrades from possible deadline deals that we are ignoring the biggest way we can improve the team:

 

replace Faedo and Wentz (and Maeda) with capable relief pitchers.

I’m of the opinion that we should try to sell high on him in a deadline package.

The pitching in Toledo is horrendous. They don't have anything down there.

From what I've seen, he's usually great when he comes into the game. It's when he hits the dugout and comes back to the mound he sucks.

I just mean heading into next season.  There’s not much we can do about it now unless some waiver wire possibilities come up around and after the deadline

Greene gets a day off again?

Maybe he hurt his back shoulder dropping it so badly on every swing.

[Motor City Sonics]

My driveway is wet

[gehringer_2]

why do you even pitch to Jose once you are behind 2-0? The art of pitching around guys is one thing this team has lost.

Have we ever had that art?

 

We let Nelson Cruz terrorize us for a decade

[gehringer_2]

McStinky with a sweet 'theft' of home.

[chasfh]

Heads up by McKinstry! Steals a run on the botched throw to first!

[Tigermojo]

Strike call on Madris costs us a run.

I don't think we'd get much for him, at least not in a headline deal. He's barely out of the prospect stage himself, so he doesn't have the track record for that. He could possibly sweeten a Flaherty or (god help us) a Skubal deal, but I don't know if either we nor a buyer would want that.

I don't get the constant drive to swap away every player that starts producing. Isn't the whole point to develop players who produce so you can have them on *your* team? In baseball the grass is almost never actually greener on the other side.

If we're trading Perez it would have to be like the Paredes for Meadows deal. Trading him for a more established, higher level player. That trade obviously backfired terribly, but that would be the archetype. I don't see that as all that likely.
