CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Besides the 3 run HR Abreu has made the 3rd out in an inning 4 times today. Statistical oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game.. not blouses. watch the replay there was no way he was catching it.. even with LeBron hops... Why they didn't appeal on the swing before is befuddling to me... sanchez struck out on the same swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yeah, Kanhle's FB was definitely 1-2 mph slower...were fouling it off rather than swinging through it. Seemed a bit tired, like he was muscling them up to the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The same thing happened last year in May and June with our pen after being overworked and difficult schedule with few offdays...Albers has held up much better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FO has plenty of other fish to fry: Melky, Frazier, Swarzak - all on contract years; Robertson (who really needs to be moved this month) and Q. And then Kahnle and about anyone else some team's interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 He's been pretty unlucky recently, his FIP until today was dropping still despite the ERA spike. Was the victim of some duck snorts and infield hits the last few times. More worried about velocity drop but hopefully just a small fluctuation. He'll be fine unless he starts walking people.

Kahnle being so good is exactly why I want him to be traded. Always sell high on relievers if you're a non contending team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always sell high on relievers if you're a non contending team. I get that...but you can't be assured of what the return ends up being. Kahnle is still young. I'm not down with trading guys like Kahnle just for the sake of being able to trade him or his "value" to some other team. Of course it all hinges on what the return is....

caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Kanhle's value has dipped from our perception of peak...so unless they're 100% sold on Burdi and Jones making it back, feel like they're going to roll the dice and hold onto without an overpay (which invariably goes to the veteran/experienced guy in these situations.)

tray Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 07:31 PM) Just DFA Shields for gosh sakes. He's done. Agree. He's beyond worthless. As far as Kahnle, there is a lot of overreaction here. Yes, he should not have grooved a 3-2 pitch with bases empty, but it is part of the learning process for him and the catcher who called that....and maybe for Renteria. Throw something for an aggressive hitter to chase or let him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
