Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter
Tnetennba replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Honestly, neither do I. We have a recent example of trying this exact same thing with one Michael Kopech and we all know how that turned out. Different players and different bodies, but not dissimilar situations. Building up his innings and not needing to count on him as a regular starter seems prudent. I want Crochet to succeed in a starting role, and I'm by no means an expert on this stuff, but this seems like the riskiest way to use his limited innings. -

We kinda knew there'd be a bullpen day in there pretty quick, but I don't think anyone thought it would be opening day! But to be completely fair, there are going to be quiet a few unplanned bullpen days all season long... -
3/18 Guardians @ Sox - Thorpe toes the rubber
Tnetennba replied to WestEddy's topic in Pale Hose Talk
That might be a stretch, even for Pedro. My hope is that we don't see him in Chicago at any point in 2024, or at least not until September at the earliest. I just don't want them rushing anyone looking for quick fixes for the big club. -

Oh I agree. I just want the org to chill on thoughts of rushing him up. Wins this year mean jack s%*#, let kids develop on their own timeline, not to fit into a desperate attempt to "contend" soon. -

Hopefully this will quash the talk of rushing him to the bigs this year. Let the kid earn his way up. -

Oh yeah, let's rush this kid to the majors. He looks TOTALLY ready...🤦♀️ -

I don't see anyone tweeting from the game, so it looks like Gameday only. -
Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter
Tnetennba replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Heaven forbid you allow for legitimate critique of an org that has a lengthy history of making dumb, backwards, and shortsighted moves. Anything that isn't 100% effusive gets that special all or nothing sycophantic hyperbole from you. It's tired. Yeah, Crochet has looked fantastic this spring, in all of 9 innings. But let's just shove the only name fans will recognize into an opening day start when he hasn't started a game in the bigs... ever? I mean, nothing to question or critique there. Nothing could possibly go wrong. 1000% sound wisdom from JR's Yes-Man brain trust. For f***'s Sake. -

On the long list of dumb decisions by this org, this is one of them. -

Ugh. He's SO making the team...

I'm too lazy to look up who might be optionable as to rotate fresh arms during the start of the season. But you're probably right about some of the 40 man fodder. If their release date is after opening day, that might help ease some of the innings load.

I mean, it is Cleveland. Better than the last one, but still bottom tier compared to other sports logos. -

Tnetennba replied to WestEddy's topic in Pale Hose Talk
It's not even listed on the MLB.tv schedule today, so it doesn't even look like there's a Cleveland radio call. -
I'd keep him over the two washed up vets, but I doubt he makes the OD roster. Pedro is going to want to keep his security blanket(s) around.

Someone is going to have to eat some innings during the second week of the season to give starters their proper rest, be an actual 5th starter or pen game. There's no way around it. Counting on the weather to buy an off day is probably a bad idea, even for an org as dumb as this one.
-
I still think it's insane for there to be talk of him reaching Chicago this year when he's barely had a cup of coffee in AA. If he's the prize in the Cease trade, FFS don't rush him to the bigs chasing a few extra wins in a lost season.
-
Right. Lets hope its Lorenzen so we never have to mention the other shithead ever again...
-
Do they even have a 5th starter? The bullpen is going to be pitching a ton of innings early either way. If the actual starters average 5 IP I'd call that a small miracle.

Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
Tnetennba replied to Heads22's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Prepare for Gavin Sheets as the everyday RF 🤦🏽♀️. I hope Fletcher proves otherwise, but that trade is looking really bad right now.
