I know that winning games in May against a team looking for ways to lose is more important than giving playing time to someone who won't be on the roster in October.

fathom Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Sheets has no business being on this roster. Send him to AAA and tell him to work on hitting breaking pitches better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my point. The poster is mad that TA is successful against Houck and should be playing. But TLR probably told him a few days ago that Sunday is a day off for him so he may have not been prepared to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOt that I agree with batting Leury leadoff, but cmon man give it a rest. Giving Anderson a rest is fine but no reason to bat Leury lead off when Robert is also playing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, it makes no sense basically forfeiting all his starts. I am afraid the Green Monster will be getting a workout with DK pitching.

That's your view, obviously not shared by all in the baseball community. TLR told TA days ago that Sunday would be a day off. TA probably wasn't prepared to play today to make a last minute change. It wouldn't be fair to TA. It's why players like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in a stretch of playing 18 games in 17 days, they're scoring < 4 runs a game, Dallas is giving up > 4 runs a start, so it's the perfect time to give guys a day off.

Giving Tony way too much credit to presume he does 'research' ... in his baseball, Tony goes with his gut (too bad it's leaky and been destroyed by 60 years of vodka consumption) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 12 minutes ago, Green Line said: Why dont they try Cueto instead of automatically conceding every 5th game with Keuchel? They dont HAVE to pitch him. He should be up this week. He just pitched at AAA so he couldn't come up and replace Keuchel. He will be in there for Keuchel's next start though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I am hoping this is the last week for Sheets, Burger and Mendick. They are all triple A players and should not be on a championship team. Unfortunately, Sheets hits from the left so Tony will keep him. Tim needs a day off before a big week next week, Pollack definitely needs to sit, Moncada back tomorrow. We need Vaughn back quickly with eloy and Vaughn out the lineup is a big drag. Next week it is warm here all week so hopefully the bats get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
