Doesn’t seem like he was ever going to handle being a starter.

Based on the description the Reds radio gave, I will be pleasantly surprised if he pitches this year.

Yes they both were scheduled.

Not necessarily, they still have four guys for the last two innings. Trading Kimbrel is freeing up salary more than anything. But yes, I share your fear.

For sure, especially with his stuff going from all world to simply above average.

Probably injured or refused to pitch because it wasn’t a save situation

Should have traded Crochet last offseason, but that’s a whole different issue. He just never seemed like someone they could push to go multiple innings a few times a week.

So Kimbrel didn’t pitch tonight despite being scheduled. I’m intrigued

Crazy thing is the bullpen depth looks kinda blah now with Crochet out and Kelly gone for a month. They’re going to be logging a ton of innings in April.

Yikes

His velocity was fine, so hopefully no surgery needed.

Sousa just made the team, didn’t he

DVS implying it’s arm related

Ugh

Crochet in

Should be our 8/9 hitters vs LHP

Crick in

He looks really bad in the at bats I’ve seen. Not a lot of balance at the plate. Oh well, it’s ST.

Severino in

Yeah I know...even though Tony sounded less then enthused about the role he’ll have this year on the podcast. Ironic, I know

One of Kimbrel, Crick, Crockett, Burr or Severino was supposed to pitch tonight and didn’t. Very interesting to watch if Kimbrel doesn’t pitch.

Did Romy come in when Robert reaches first or when he ran to 2nd?

Tony had an interesting comment on the WS Talk podcast about how you might not be able to get a pitcher now if you add a RF. Sure seems like another move is coming.

It’s going to be very annoying if Harrison bats 7th this year

He’s pitching tonight. Not that I think it’s happening but they wouldn’t be in the same deal. Romy could always be a possibility for the A’s.
