July 27, 20223 yr Just now, South Side Hit Men said: A DFA if he needs surgery. Free up a slot on the 40 man. Pretty sure there are insurance reasons why it's more advantageous to stash him on the 60-day IL so you can delay that decision until the offseason.

July 27, 20223 yr So thankful for the TLR wisdom to drop Tepera for a more expensive & injured Kelly who couldn't even start the season. TLR didn't want Tepera after his Astro's cheat comments and thought a torn biceps was a better choice. Gosh he's so smart! We can all learn so much baseball from him!
July 27, 20223 yr Would be happy to be wrong but that didn’t sound like someone who will be ready to stay off the IL
July 27, 20223 yr Just send him back to the damned Dodgers. Will only cost half his remaining salary to dump him. Which is a lot more than we could get away with trying to get rid of Leury.

July 28, 20223 yr LaRussa in post games saying it wasn't an arm injury... cracking my ass up... was he actually watching Kelly shaking his arm? You can't make up how clueless this dude is

July 28, 20223 yr Eat shit TLR and Hahn. EDIT a forgot to add Jerry. Edited July 28, 20223 yr by ShoeLessRob

You can't make up how clueless this dude is i think someone has to talk to him and tell him while they realize there are things to keep in house, saying something like this makes their fanbase think the team thinks they couldn't be more dumb. Even Ozzie called him out on some similar BS earlier in the season.
July 28, 20223 yr it's a weird rabbit hole to go down, but on Tuesday's game, Lambert comes in, throws all of 2 pitches and then TLR puts Kelly out for the 7th. He could have easily let Lambert pitch the 7th, thus not using Kelly at all and him having to pitch on back to back days. (or swap Kelly with Graveman in this scenario) His constant insistence to not use Lambert or Lopez for more than 1 inning, causes over-usage of the bullpen and "could" have potentially saved Kelly's injury.
July 28, 20223 yr Kelly was a "buy high" off of a career year in the first place. He's been a very average pitcher, at best, during his career.
