This is why I’m not terribly worried. The law of averages says this will not continue.

I’m extremely happy we’re having patient at bats and drawing some walks. We’ve done a good job of getting guys on base which is step 1. Now we just need to learn to change our approach when we have runners in scoring position and we should be able to score runs even when we don’t have the long...

Drake’s gonna get his first major league hit on an excuse me swing blooper.

I’m glad we’re moving on from Anderson, Suarez is just holding a place for Kimbrel and nobody is going to care when he’s DFA’d.

Right. I keep trying to temper expectations but I think he may just be one of those guys. It’s crazy we hit on him and Strider. Let’s hope we have a few more.

I think Ian Anderson would have value in a Jesse Chavez role.

Baldwin looks very good at the plate and I like the approach. There will be middle in fastballs to turn on and hangers left in the zone to jump on.

Can we start a new ST thread? I think this thread may have run its course

I like “Pull an Elder”. I think that’s the plan for the last 2 spots in the rotation and in the pen. AA has gone with a quantity over quality approach hoping we have enough pitchers to “pull an Elder” to get us through the season. That might work if we know when to move on to the next guy

I’m now waiting for the battle for the last 2-3 bullpen spots thread.

I hope Nicholas Montgomery is a fun one to follow this year.

I agree that the same way our offense will average out our pitching will average out. I think we need another SP. That will make the 5 spot a battle between Anderson/Holmes with the loser being the swing man in the last bullpen spot (assuming a healthy Perdomo and Pilar take 2 spots) However...

Can anyone provide a synopsis on the Baseball America article on JR Ritche?

I saw where Castillo has had the most pronounced weather splits in all of MLB over his career. He’s pitched much better in the heat and struggled in the cold. My first thought was he should be in ATL until I realized the most important games tend to happen late in the fall.

King makes a lot more sense than Cease

No we haven’t made a trade like this yet, which is why I’m questioning it.

It’s the 1 year rental and unlikelihood of an extension that has me questioning the Cease trade. I assume we’d make a QO though and get a pick though lessening the prospect loss.

Connor Gillespie the DFA

So we still have enough for Will Castro.

I was thinking 3/45. This ain’t bad even though more than we thought
