That's a good point. Then you auction them off afterwards (would work after the Canada day game probably...no idea why they even had the reds on the other day).

 

They seem to go out an buy a lot of pink stuff for breast cancer month.

 

SP picks the uni's. If not he cuts them all up with scissors.

That trade felt wrong from the moment it was announced, especially given that Hendriks had the same ability to act as a swingman. Bad move.

 

Yeah, I didn't like it, but understood it.

Big time

 

We avoid Tillman and Bundy and they don't get to face Dickey or Liriano.

 

We couldn't ask for a better set of pitching matchups against a team we could bury 4-6 games back with a good series

 

Gausman... Tillman's on the DL.

So Those was DFA'd. Who's catching Dickey or have they said? DFA Dickey and call up Barnes!

 

It's just one Dickey's start. 40 man roster near

Is there any chance we swing a deal for a lefty reliever in the next couple days?

 

Our lefty reliever for the playoffs will be Liriano.

Exactly

 

Career vs Liriano

 

RH batters OPS 0.719

 

LH batters OPS 0.596

I still wouldn't mind a third lefty option to go with Cecil (brutal year) and Liriano (never really been a reliever and despite his solid splits is a pretty big question mark coming out of the pen). I would have to believe Shartkins agrees and are doing their due diligence.

Honestly I think we're better off with a slightly expanded bench come playoff time since we only need four starters anyway. I wouldn't mind a fifth bench piece instead of an eighth reliever.

 

Osuna

Grilli

Ben wah

Biagini

Cecil

Liriano

 

Plus another lefty. I don't really trust anybody else we would have in that seventh spot right now. Schultz I guess would be the best option currently but I'd rather not have to watch him groove a fat meatball in October.

Bench will include Smoak/Upton (whoever isn't starting), Barney, Carrera, Navarro?

 

Who would you take in addition?

People forgetting Feldman?

 

Haha yep, I did actually. I guess he's the seventh guy right now but he doesn't exactly instill a great deal of confidence.

I think you need a mop up guy that can eat many innings. We have that in Biagini, but he has proven he can handle higher leverage, multiple inning situations

Yeah this is the problem. We don't exactly have a lot of options. Honestly though, I would include Pompey. He had a few absolutely crucial steals in the playoffs last year and if Upton is starting, we don't really have that element on the bench right now. But I think someone who can come in and steal a base when you need it would be a better piece than one of our AAAA relievers.

He isn't eligible.

Feldman has actually been decent over the past couple weeks. Basically what you expect out of your long man.

 

Over his last 5 appearances: 7 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 0 HR

Loogy Loup!

 

If we go with a 7 man pen in the post season, who would you take? I see:

 

Osuna

Grilli

Benoit

Biagini

Cecil

Feldman

Liriano

 

Assuming we go with a 5 man bench (Navarro, Smoak, Carerra, Barney, Goins/Pompey?). Or are we going with a 4 man bench and one of Loup/Barnes/Shultz in the pen?

Too hard to say right now... this needs to be discussed in 3 weeks. Pompey isn't eligible.

Based on what they did all year they prob go with the 4 man bench
