I'm wondering about lack of flexibility if the team were to use Varland/Paddack as a piggyback starter and Woods Richardson as a back of the rotation. Would get the limit on innings for Paddack that is a concern.. maybe have Louie go 3 innings then Paddack go from there 4 or five more..
There's no help coming without a trade. Lee and Larnach are hurt. Sure Duran and Staumont may be back soon but what will there be to save when they lose every game 3-1?
I'm willing it to chalk Pablo's day up to the cold rainy and windy conditions. His velocity's fine. But the control got away from him as you noted.
A week's ago I said Wallner and Kepler need to go. But now.. we're stuck. A month ago I said look up Donnie Barrels..
I really was hoping they would have called Miranda up to begin with. Is this going to be the 2024 version of letting Wallner stay hot in St Paul while the parent team flounders offensively? It's not hard to see the parallels.
Joey Gallo goes deep. Mr April.
Yeah there's been something different about the team's hitting, I couldn't put my finger on it but you nailed it.. grounded out grounded out grounded out repeatedly in KC.
The possibilities are endless (like all possibilities are.) I am completely comfortable with the plugins if either needs a little (but not a lot of) time down. This infield is special.
Actually it's my fault. After I purchased the Grateful Dead Ryan T he got hurt -imploded.
The pitching coaches have been master tinkerers
Assuming they have the same observations a fix will be forthcoming. How effective..
