From what they said he is throwing all his pitched and not having issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losing Crochet is the one that can not be replaced. That will sting this year. He gives you a look that no one else can. Those are very uncomfortable at bats with him. Let alone the innings and relief he gives out of the pen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I probably would have gone with ReyLo myself, but my guess is they're saving ReyLo to piggyback Kopech. Random thought, I know it’s too late for this now, but would it have made sense to shuffle the rotation a bit to spread around the guys likely to need bullpen help? Something like Gio, Kopech, Keuchel, Cease, VV? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BamaDoc 369 Posted April 6 Looks like a fair number of 10-8 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Sacamano 2,916 Posted April 6 When does the roster have to be officially set? I assume by the time game starts on Friday. Just trying to figure out how long we have to wait to find out about Micker's fate (trade or dfa). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
