Appel has a sub-2.00 ERA in AAA Eshelman has an ERA in the 2s It's like we're on the Larry Anderson end of the Bagwell trade!
What goes through Hinch's mind. I'm just going to throw my 8+ era guy out there, second worst on the team, because hell, it might just trick them. what a dumass.
Hunch isn't the only factor in deciding demotions and promotions. Putting him in the game is his choice however. But, you can only play the guys you're given. Not sure what to do with Giles now. N
Agree, but Harris and Gregerson are the only two in the pen that have been consistently good, can't ask those two to carry the 7th, 8th and 9th Need another good arm in the pen. That's why we got Giles, and obviously that isn't working out right now...but that doesn't give us any other better options for the 7th either
Maybe guys who can't hit a baseball or contribute to the team in any other way should slap on that armor, close their eyes, and take pitches till they walk, strike out, or get drilled.
Neshek scare me but I would have rather seen him in there for the 7th instead of Giles then finish with Harris and Gregerson. Just stupid.
Neshek struggles against lefties. If Tyler White throws to 2nd base on that ground ball, this whole inning is different. Or maybe if this ump was worth a damn.
Who would YOU have put in there? Neshek? He has been better than Giles, but he has struggled lately too Fields? Just as bad (which isn't easy) Sipp? Oh, yea Sipp came in and was ripped Feldman? Went multiple innings last night, likely isn't available Harris? He has been great, but do we want to use him for 2 innings? He could do it, but wouldn't be available for tomorrow which would leave Luke as the only "good" option We desperately need another consistent arm in the pen
