I mean he was our 2nd or 3rd best starter before he got hurt

He threw one, just not often. He was successful when he had a ton of movement on his 2 seam

Ok maybe don't throw the 4 seam fastball more often

I actually like having Detweiler in the bullpen, Covey is more of a 4-5 inning pitcher IMO so it would nice to pair the two if possible

Since he went to the bullpen his ERA has dropped from 7.75 to 5.37. In 28 innings he has let up 4 runs, I think if he is a 2 inning guy at most he could be a good reliever

Good for Reed

God this is boring lol

Stop swinging at high fastballs out of the zone

God Nova blows

I am confused why Nova was first out of the gate

Damn I thought Jose and McCann had hits there

Man I hate playing in Oakland

I'm gonna cry

Completely moronic. How he doesn't realize right away and even after the PA announcer says who hit, he still says Escobar. Your job is to pay attention the game and know the players, not hard!

I thought Covey was pretty decent before he got hurt. I think he is a perfect 4 or 5 inning pitcher

It is the fact you are only citing BA and not his other stats

The highest Gallo ever hit in the minors was .272 and that was his first year. He hit .240 before they brought him up

I tend to agree he won't be good in the majors, I have never liked him as soon as I saw the hitch in his swing but I am not ready to say he sucks and will always suck in the majors without him getting a fair shot.

Also hasn't been playing consistently. Hard to get going at the MLB level when you play every few days

I only am able to go to a game or so a year for the last 10 or so years and that video and the opening was always a highlight, gave me chills every time.

And I would much rather spend the money on pitching and a RF. McCann is just fine for the next few years with the lineup that will be around him, he will be hitting in the 7-9 range. Find a couple starters, some bullpen guys and a RF and this team is set IMO

The way he handles a young pitching staff which we will have, he doesn't need to hit like this.

What is the point of signing Grandal to a big contract only to split time with McCann?

Yeah I would assume Collins will be going down to get regular ABs with Castillo coming back up and AJ Reed basically takes the Alonso spot.

If they think our 24 year old 1st round pick a few years ago is only a platoon player already they all deserve to be fired.
