    Wait so you don't think Gray being pulled when he was wasn't because he just came back from two IL stints? "It can't be both ways; our stats say they don't do well 3rd and 4th times through, but it is only because we are protecting them from injury that we limit their innings, especially when the innings just happen to coincide with where they are in the batting order. It makes your head spin." I think it is more than both ways it is all ways. Many factors go into every decision they make, as it should be. Stretching out from injury downtime. 3rd time through the order. Who is coming up next? State of the patented TD Bullpen Usage Spreadsheet® Injury history (i.e. Archer coming off multiple injury riddled seasons) and their plan for dealing with it. Performance in the moment. For me this is what I like about baseball. The in-game strategy.

    Guy goes on the IL, comes back pitches one game and the injury flares back up, goes back on the IL, comes back and you would throw him 9 innings?

    He has become a characature of himself

    Pretty sure the chatter was headed for the end of Jeffers, worked for one day. Gosh I think Polanco should be riding the pine now that the All-Star Arraez has got second covered!

    Sonny Gray is a surgeon. That strikeout pitch on the corner was a beauty.

    Keep getting those series wins baby

    The trend in baseball is away from a full time DH. Gives you more flexibility. I like this strategy, unless of course you can get the bat Cruz brought everyday (those are hard to come by). Miranda came up with 3rd base as his most prominent position. He has stated he likes 2nd base the most, but imo he doesn't have the chops for that position. I'd like to see him eventually settle in at third. I think I read where Buxton is on pace for 130 games this year. If that's the case, keep doing whatever your doing.

    Wasn't that Tony Old School LaRussa?

    I just can't picture Andy McPhail with a shovel or hammer in hand. Now a nicely pressed white shirt and cappuccino? Picture perfect.

    Rog said "The one ex-Twin he reminds me a lot of is Astudillo as he brings a lot of the same energy as the Turtle. That comparison ends however, when he steps into the batter's box." Edit: nevermind

    Gordon has no options. They won't lose him now. Maybe some like Speer could bump him in the future.

    COVID can have some lingering fatigue. There have been some times it appeared Ryan lost velo, but for the most part his stamina has been fine. I would say COVID and missed time are the culprits.

    Might have to crack open the corral for Richie tonite.
  18. wabene
    Easy now

    Looks like Badly Sports North has stolen the TD Bullpen Usage Chart®. Shameless.

    Snap!

    I never thought of their local perception and Terry Ryan's legacy that way and it does explain the extreme fan angst. Very good post.

    By cheering from MPLS?

    Atlanta traded for 4 outfielders last year in season; Joc Pederson, Eddie Rosario, Adam Duvall and Jorge Soler. Granted the price tags were of the bargain sort.

    Archer has some great energy, but I have to wonder if he is wasting some on the mound. In boxing you can plainly see when one fighter is bouncing around and the other calmer, the calm fighter has the clear stamina edge as the fight progresses. Other things being relatively equal, of course.
