I’m thinking Holland should get optioned back down
no he is getting paid to much to play in the minors
That loss wasn’t really Holland’s fault. Mike Matheny hosed that situation up FAR worse than it should have been. After the first 2 walks they should have had Bud Norris coming in. Not intentionally walking a 3rd and then him walking a 4th. That could have been handled much better, but MM is incompetent when handling a bullpen as he has proven over and over again.
Oh i agree that that was completely on Matheny. But there’s also no reason that an MLB reliever should be walking four guys in one inning including the winning run
yes there is when he’s only pitched for a couple weeks.
Still, I’d rather lose a game giving up a bases clearing double rather than walking four guys. At least you’re giving your defence a chance.
I really don’t think any pitcher should have pitched as bad as Holland did, whether it was their first time throwing or 50th. These guys are professionals.
I agree totally about MM! I Havnt liked that hire from the start. If they are a bunch of games back at the break, they need to reassign MM to the minors
and let Oquendo or Maddox take over the team. At least for the rest of the year in interim .
Last line of last bullet point. Jurickson Profar linking to Odor’s bref page..
These round ups are awesome! Very helpful with making and planning Fantasy moves
You know, I found your comment refreshing. Different. All too often, people like Trim Reaper, who arent qualified or likely knowledgeable, read half the story, react and spew negativity. Thank you for being positive, at least today.
Over/under on Beede’s debut? I’m going with 8 earned runs…
Hopefully Bochy doesn’t let it get that bad, but I don’t think it is going to be pretty.
Yeah. I have Beede in my keeper league. The stuff is there, but he just can’t seem to put it all together yet. This will be like Luke vs Vader in Episode V.
Uhh, why was Brett Phillips called up?
Hes good but his offense isn’t ready yet and we already have an outfielder glut…
Oh Cain got hurt. Great.
On a stupid base running mistake at that! He had plenty of room at first base
I like these roundups. Keep them coming
