As brought to my attention by @Azviking101 Caleb hasn't been good against right handed batters. He still has a career OPS against of .703. In 2022 it was .634, last year it was .941 and so far this year 1.315. This is not moving in the right direction. Time waits for no one.
The best thing he has going for him is dropping that huge hook in for strikes. On that last pitch the batter
had no choice but to swing. Fun to watch, but nerve wracking.
Martin started strong and was fading a bit. He looks good to me, but this is a perfect time to let him catch his breath and work on stuff. He will be back, I like his future.
I think TBar is moving down the ranks in the pen. If Okert had options I'd guess Funderburk would now be moving into the number 1 lefty spot. Caleb has had an unexpected and good run. It will not last forever.
RpR has a very important role to fill here at TD, obviously. The guy just never disappoints, keep up the good work, buddy!
Edit: ok I'm not sure what it is, but it seems important!
Martin scuffling buys Margot some time I'd guess. I'd there ever was a veteran they might jettison, Margot might be it. As mentioned technically they aren't even paying him. Slide that by the Pohlad's actuaries, lol.
Martin has been scuffling after a good start. He needs a reset and adjustment. He'll be back.
Sands looked amazing yesterday hitting 97!? What is going on? Baldelli said he is establishing himself as a major leaguer. Do they mess with that and stretch him out?
