It was mentioned yesterday because Holloway has 4 pitches. They seem excited about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone eat Campbell's Soup to bring good vibes before the game.* *- Actually don't do this because it is full of sodium and totally not good for you.

They could have easily called up Garrett, started Campbell or Holloway. Sixto, Hernandez, and Cabrera are all throwing bullpens already. We should have all of them available sometime in May. Our pitching depth is fine barring more injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I dont want Campbell, detwiler, Garrett, holloway, neidert, castano starting any games this year if we're serious about contending. This young of a staff screamed legitimate veteran 5th starter. Very relieved Rogers is balling outb Spending 3 mil on alex wood looks pretty smart of san fran so far. Im sure there are multiple other examples this year of pitchers making similar money who would look really good right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure there are multiple other examples this year of pitchers making similar money who would look really good right about now. Absolutely on the second one. It would have helped. With that said, Wood has made just the two starts this year - he started the season injured. And he's literally only faced our struggling lineup. You're not wrong, however, that a veteran starter would have been good to have here. As for the first point - it comes down to necessity. Contending teams every year have had a few games where they've had to start a guy who probably shouldn't be out there. Injuries happen. Like @Rydawg said, short-term stuff. All three guys that could have been in the rotation to start off are making good progress. We'll be OK. The lineup is MUCH more concerning right now than a Paul Campbell start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I do not have a problem with using openers if it’s for the best. It’s strategically better than starting a guy because he’s a “starter.” Anything that makes us look more like the Rays from a pitching standpoint is fine by me. They should do this more often even when the weather is good. Castano is actually a guy who might do better in a bulk role than traditional starting. Even Elieser Hernandez too when he comes back. It might help Neidert too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rays had bullpen by committee for a season and when we have one day, it’s because we lack starting depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovertical Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 i'd rather acquire another bp arm moreso than a starter tbh. pitching still far less worrisome than offense. i'll be really disappointed in them if they don't pick up an upper echelon FA this coming offseason to bolster this lineup. they have the starting pitching in place, bullpen is decent/about average t but they're decent enough to win games in conjunction with the starting pitching. don't waste the young cheap years of the starting pitching with a crap offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
