Use the bullpen as little as possible. If we weren’t about to trade him, nobody would question sending him out there for the 7th. And those three runs won’t change his trade value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like they decided not to trade him .I hate being right when it means Hauser got touched up to spoil a great outing . are you serious? he was at 68 pitches with an 11 run lead. Nobody in pro baseball is pulling him there. He needed to preserve the pen not his ERA; the trade value is untouched either way. It was a solid start with hard contact last two innings. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'm pretty sure teams can process the context of Houser throwing a bad pitch late in a blowout. Sucks that it tips his ERA over 2, but he wasn't returning 2 ERA ace value anyway because teams look at more than box scores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams would rather see him go deep than care about if he gives up a meaningless 3-run homer in a blow out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the middle of typing maybe he gets out of it when McGuire hit the HR. 6 Shut out innings meant more to his trade value then 6.2 of 3 run ball, that's for sure. There was 0 reason to keep him in. Personally I think Houser mentally checked out of the game thinking he would be removed after 6. All of a sudden he lost his command despite the pitch count.

I kinda doubt any starter thinks he’s getting removed after 6 innings and like 60 pitches. Especially in today’s game.
