Idk what took them so long to make Lopez a reliever.

it's not exactly the super bullpen we all envisioned. I think the only guy you'd clearly feel better about right now is Graveman, but Lopez is more valuable going multiple innings per appearance anyways

Just lacking in experience...well nothing would be shocking this year.

Weeks ago it was Matt Ruiz.

ReyLo has been so valuable the last month as an opener, in short, and long relief.  He's been a real glue guy for this team.

I don't think we'd be getting results this good without him shortening his arm path, and that wouldn't have happened without Katz anyways

jesus hang wiff em

We're getting pretty unlucky on our hard hit balls tonight. 

Chapman is just incredible at 3B. 

AJ xBA .860

Burger xBA .560

Gausman/Cease

Stripling/Giolito

 

Would be an absolute disaster to lose this one, even if the Guardians/Twins will beat each other up.

 

Fast fast inning.  Has to be Kelly up next.

Well that was fast

That was way too easy

Scalded the ball that inning. Just right at some gloves

Starters are more valuable.  Do everything you can to keep them as a starter Ala Crochet.

That was fast

We hit the ball hard right at people. That's just baseball. 

BTW our xBA is .485 today. We should probably have 12 runs at this point.

Lopez Burger and Cueto kept them in this, Robert AV Pollock more recently.

lol they hit three balls right on the sweet spot, it was a tough luck inning if anything

Reese is such a bad hitter I don't think he should be allowed to swing at the first pitch there, but that's fair

i like this decision fwiw.

I like going with Graveman here considering it's the heart of the order. No reason to have a designated closer right now anyways.

Tony actually using his best reliever/closer against the other team's best hitters? I didn't think I'd actually see that.

And he's actually about 20 points over the team batting average.

Graveman needs some work as it is
