so much for the so called pitching depth and there isn't a decent 4 and 5 SP. The team has to rely on experiments. I know Elieser and Sixto are injured but this is ridiculous

Chad Wallach should pitch. I’m sure he’s no worse at it than he is at catcher.

At least Donnie doesn't need to think which catcher stays when Alfaro comes back. 

It's not great when a team that doesn't hit homers has their guys trying to hit homers.

I think Cabrera would be up in the big leagues but he’s out too. Not many teams have 5 great starting pitchers. 

Why tf is Holloway still out there? This is so dumb.

It's all numbers with the Dodgers, Padres, Red Sox, Astros, A's, Yankees, etc etc etc ... that's the game now, man.

To an extent, yes.  But all of those teams have 5 starters and don't use an opener.  Baseball, like any sport, needs star power.  None closer relief pitchers don't have star power. No one goes to a baseball to see a starter or a a bunch of relief pitchers.

A's and Yanks have definitely used Openers, at the least. I feel ya, though.

So you love Donnie?

Not sure what that has to do with anything?

I remember we hitting good against this pitcher last time …

Donnie said 75 pitch limit, he MEANS 75 pitch limit.

As in lower limit.

Can we try Berti behind the plate now?

Don's pulling him at 69 pitches.

Nice!

He's just not a deep analytic type guy like the teams being mentioned whose style you hate and don't want to see

How many suck games from our SPs not named Alcantara, Lopez and Rogers would make Ng to call the agent of veteran SPs !?

How about trying Lucroy first if he's still staying at home ?

Beyond Donnie this 2x per week bullpen game crap and a subpar bench and crap catching falls on the owners and Ang and their failure to see this during the off-season when just about any of us said those were areas that needed upgrading. They tried with Gio I guess but keep pushing when that doesn't work. Kinda weird when a team starts a season without an innings eater at the backend. At least for mid season trade value.
