Doesn't Hall throw like 98 or something like that?

 

Yep. 98 mph balls, not strikes.

Shit, I am mean to Das but that's too far.

Barraclough used to be like that. I believe!

 

On a serious note, when is Ogando coming back to replace Hall?

I forgot he existed

 

 

Yeah seriously what's up with Ogando? Ribs should be healing up pretty good right now.

I got hit by a baseball in the rib like six months ago and it still hurts, so...

 

(Then again, I don't have access to the Sean Cunninghams of the world.)

 

 

Did you write about it while your mommy kissed it better?

bearclaw still is like that. 7.6 bb/9 this year

 

 

Barraclough is a good pitcher. Just had a rough outing last night. It happens.

bearclaw clearly has ++++++stuff and is wonderful to watch when he's not throwing balls. But his 7.6 bb/9 is unacceptable and if we had any replacement level RP they should probably replace him until/if he fugres out his command. As it stands, he is our third best RP, no doubt, but the level plummets after Ramos/Phelps. Bearclaw's ceiling is as high as any RP though; such a funky delivery. Still, no idea why he gets a pass on this board and Ramos gets shitted on. Bearclaw has 14 bbs in his last 13 appearances.

I'm a Ramos fan myself. As for barraclough. You're right about the Bb/9. If we had someone (perlata maybe) we can use barraclough in less pressure situations while he works on the walks issue.

fair point....bearclaw on the roster but not the guaranteed 7th inning job makes far more sense...unfortunately we have no one else

 

 

I have no problem with BearKlaw being our 7th inning guy. The walks are bad, but I feel like he can get out of the jam more often than not. Similar to Ramos.

 

Only thing with Klaw is maybe he should face less lefties. Far more dominant against righties.

Now with Dunn we have more flexibility in these situations

Excited for the bearclaw excuses from everyone again. He's era is catching up with his league worst bb rate now 

 

 

His BB rate is atrocious, but the only reliever with a better K/9 is Betances. He has elite swing and miss stuff. Also, I'm guessing that .417 .BABIP is going to go down at some point. The walks are annoying though.

The bbs, ks and babip (with a way above league avg hard hit %)  are all related.  He's basically going out there and just throwing. He has absolutely no control and is basically a roll of the dice every time. Also his era sucks now too so the k/9 isn't so impressive anymore

His hard hit % isn't that high. It was at 28.6 before tonight's game. Isn't that basically league average? All of the advanced metrics suggest he should have a better ERA. .417 .BABIP is ridiculously high.

Even though that should come down a bit one of the reasons why it's high is also because he falls behind in the count too often and finds himself having to just throw a pitch down the middle for a strike. 

 

 

All I thought about was what would [uSER=5078]@pollyvonwog[/uSER] reaction be if Barraclough came into the game and got into trouble.

 

Sure enough he walks a guy and allows him to get to second on a wild pitch. Then proceeds to fall behind on Jaso, and serve a very hittable pitch to give up the tying run.

 

Mattingly really didn't have anyone else to go to since Phelps and Ramos were unavailable. But I always cringe when he gives up a walk. His slider to strike out Joyce was absolutely filthy though.
