caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You can see that KC is going to at least keep battling and improving... seem to have good chemistry. Bunch of young players out to prove themselves and take advantage of opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Reynaldo might be the worst 98-100 mph pitcher that ever played baseball. I'm not kidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s so bad He's never once called for a safety or suicide squeeze yet to get a run across in extras. There have been opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to start letting Graveman Kelly and occasionally Santos and Middleton take those shots. Doesn't matter with Hendriks coming back soon I guess.

His stuff is awesome and he's striking out 33% of guys. That'll play pretty much anywhere. It does seem like the pitch clock is in his head, but I also think he's pitching into very tough luck right now. Every mistake is punished in a way that isn't sustainable.

Maybe he needs a change up against lefties? Not sure, but seems they have destroyed him in games I’ve watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what the heck they are doing with Colas. They really don't have anyone better for RF and they need the power LHB. I mean it's not like he's taking a bunch of pitches in AAA trying to work counts. If he's going to do that just put him in RF and keep him there and pound in into his head that he has to start barreling balls and hitting it harder . You can't make good contact hitting a bunch of pitchers pitches. Get some damn counts in your favor and then be selctive on what you swing at when you're ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
