    In any case, let's go! Win one, Mr Ryan.

    4th best record is the goal? A road wild card spot? One postseason short series win in Rocco's tenure? Maybe zoom out for a little better view, Mike.
  3. USAFChief
    We need a MLB manager.

    Every day there's another TD article on the soon-to-arrive bullpen savior Stewart/Topa.
  5. USAFChief
    No, he's a free agent after this season. And thank god for that. *DeSclafani

    Are you aware Miami had him start four games in April? Check his stats as a reliever.
  7. USAFChief
    Its not accurate. Every pitcher in a modern bullpen will pitch in situations where their performance will impact the outcome. Multiple times over a season. Starters average less than 6 IP per start. Teams get 10 or more outs on average from the pen every night. Most games are close. Relievers can't pitch every night. You're going to use all of them. So, every reliever will pitch in situations where they impact the outcome. Randy Dobnak entered a 2 run game in the 6th tonight. That's not low leverage, IYAM. Similar situations occur regularly. You can't get by with 3 guys who pitch every time the game is close. They all will. Some more than others, but they all will.

    Where would AJ Puk fall on this list?
  9. USAFChief
    Also, the Dobnak DFA can't happen soon enough.
  10. USAFChief
    Lopez was pretty bad from the first pitch. Nothing but good swings all night off him. Anything but overpowering, runners on or not.
  11. USAFChief
    He wasn't so young at that point
  12. USAFChief
    Can we stop referring to "low leverage relievers?" There's no such thing.
  13. USAFChief
    He'll just order room service. Now if they'd taken his meal money, now that would've been something.

  15. USAFChief
    Me too. Through gritted teeth.
  16. USAFChief
    Come on. This isn't honest argument.
  17. USAFChief
    I take it as a cry for help.
  18. USAFChief
    Hey Randy. This guy might be running.
  19. USAFChief
    I think even you'd admit there isn't any evidence any of this matters to the manager. Or at least no evidence of any consequences.
  20. USAFChief
    Hahaha. Guess he didn't get the memo either.
  21. USAFChief
    Agree with most of this, but I'll give him a pass on using Dobnak. He can only use the relievers he has, and if Dobnak is here, he's gonna have to pitch in situations that aren't just blowouts. And I'd say Lopez was about spent. IMO THIS issue is Dobnak being here in the first place.
  22. USAFChief
    Options were limited. We didn't need anyone at the deadline. Seriously, I half suspect they intended to waive him when they called him up, on the off chance someone would claim him.
  23. USAFChief
    As you called week or so ago, it's a DFA waiting to happen.
  24. USAFChief
    Actually, they do. Usually.
  25. USAFChief
    I give Rocco credit for starter usage. I think he's pretty damn good at when to remove his starter. Or not remove. He runs a good clubhouse, I believe, although that's tough to judge. I don't see him as good at much else. His teams do not generally play the game well.
