    Concur. Romo looks comfortable closing out games this year, and should remain in that role. I like Duffey in the fireman role who can come in anytime to shut down a rally. Rogers should spend a couple of weeks in low/mid leverage outings to get his swagger back.

    Taylor Rogers is considered an essential business in 2020. Dude can’t close.
  3. Vanimal46
    Wow. Unbelievable.

    The fickleness of relievers... One year you think it’s worth it to extend him 6 years, the next you want them off the roster for a while.
  5. Vanimal46
    Well ****.
  6. Vanimal46
    Let’s see it ACE!!!

    It’s difficult to consistently keep their sinkers down in the zone. If that trickles up an inch or 2, that pitch is ending up in the 3rd deck. I still have nightmares about Carlos Silva. He was able to keep his sinker down during the 2005 season and had a career season. The very next season he couldn’t locate his sinker and his ERA ballooned to 5.94. As you said, not having an out pitch is the big concern. Without that, Dobnak is walking a tight rope every time he pitches.

    If the playoffs started today I would trust Maeda as the game 1 starter. Berrios is still young enough to cling on to hope and potential, but he’s not there yet. He’s looking like Scott Baker more than what you’d consider an ace. Dobnak’s been great for 50 MLB innings. I simply don’t trust sinker pitchers to last. We’ve seen it time and time again. For now I’ll keep quiet and see how long the Cinderella run lasts.

    Example #1,283,234 this year alone for automated strike zone. That was awful.
  10. Vanimal46
    In hindsight I wonder if the FO regrets not adding Balazovic or other SP options on the 60 man. The opener is working tonight. It feels like we’ve seen the opener/bullpen method more this year than the entire 2019 season.
  11. Vanimal46
    A nice thought but he just signed that 3 year extension...
  12. Vanimal46
    Sano continues to be absolutely lost at the plate.
  13. Vanimal46
    Where would this offense be without Cruz?
  14. Vanimal46
    Did Romo throw a single fastball today?
  15. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t be opposed to Romo being the full time closer going forward
  16. Vanimal46
    Happy 3 year anniversary to the best sports clip of all time!
  17. Vanimal46
    I don’t think so. Pretty sure it’s still juiced
  18. Vanimal46
    So clever, calling the taxi squad ‘Uber squad’ with Dobnak on the mound, Dick... how’d you come up with that?
  19. Vanimal46
    Kansas City’s pitcher definitely gets asked for his ID to enter an 18+ nightclub.

    “If Dobnak keeps his pitches down, heh, your troubles are behind you. If Dobnak’s pitches are anywhere else, get the women and children out of the first 10 rows in the OF.” - Dark Star
  21. Vanimal46
    Uh oh. Our ace doesn’t have it early on.
  22. Vanimal46
    Berrios is a liability this year. It’s disappointing to see the regression.
  23. Vanimal46
    I think you’ll be surprised by Scott Baker’s WAR...
  24. Vanimal46
    Berrios’ career trajectory looks a lot more like Scott Baker than a Johan/Verlander/Scherzer type.
  25. Vanimal46
    How is there not a day game on TV every day during this 60 game schedule? Over half of the US population is either working from home or sitting at home out of work. NBA and NHL schedule games throughout the day for fans of that sport. It’s like they’re actively trying not to market the sport to people who normally don’t have the time to watch it.
