Admin Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Ha that’s funny. You think Ng, Jeter and company are actually watching this team and have any idea what’s going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Personally, and I know I skew more in the newer line of thinking as it comes to pitching, if I had a nine man bullpen, nobody is pitching two days in a row unless 100% necessary. Build up guys' confidence by gifting them some high leverage spots when they're fresh. Could go one night with a Bleier - Floro - Yimi combo, the next with Pop - Detwiler - Bender, etc. Maximum 65 games per reliever, nobody should be on pace for a half season's worth of games out of the bullpen. Work more on matchups as well, and NOT simply "oh two lefties coming up let's bring in the lefty." But. Eh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berti is a better baseball player than Isan Diaz and there's no reason why Diaz should play every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, one of the many negatives of this year is that Jon Berti has reverted back to what he was during his minor league career. Berti kind of stinks too. .180/.289/.295 in 143 plate appearances to be exact. We stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1.618 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) If Mish can’t say who is at fault, then why would I take his word for it. As much as I want Don fired, what if he’s being setup. Just the injuries alone is causing me to be suspicious, with how players sit and when they return. It just doesn’t feel right, like when they say they are injured and then the PH and play in the 7th? Maybe the whole organization is incompetent. We haven’t seen it this bad, not even for Don until they hired Ng. It’s something to think about.

Which is a more an indictment to how bad the infield depth is in the upper minor leagues. No budget and no prospects even really remotely close to ready = depth issues.

Berti cant/wont make the necessary adjustments. There is a reason why he was essentially a career minor leaguer. It happens for a reason often.
