    Is he? I know Hinch doesn't want to use him.

    Not sure. They tried to give him credit that these 86 and 88 mph balls are changeups... but I think his arm is just shot.

    He absolutely is, TK said as much. Makes me think there’s more stress on the BP then we know

    Does McHugh still throw fastballs. I have a bad feeling about him hanging a slider here

    He's a sidearming slopballer for now. He can get away with guile for an inning or so, but he's not the McHuge we had last year.

    So you think TK knows more than Hinch about a players status?

    I sometimes wonder whether our relief pitching issues this year are because of our pitchers or perhaps due to a lack of synchronicity with our catchers.

    We were going to need a run to win anyway so let’s see if we can grab it (and an extra).

    We need that with Marisnick on base. Our bullpen can’t go much longer here.
