Danny Barnes Replaces Liriano on Roster

[rydermike]

Just got a notification from The Score app. Barnes on roster for the series, Liriano is out. Has a concussion

 

 

EDIT: Contrary to my original post, stating Liriano was out for ALCS as well, according to the MLB Concussion Protocol, there is an exception to the normal injury rules which state that an injured player must automatically miss the next series. Therefore, there is the potential for Liriano to return for the ALCS. More to come

Just got a notification from The Score app. Barnes on roster for the series, Liriano out. THis means Liriano out for ALCS as well automatically as that is the rule for injury replacements in the playoffs. Has a concussion

 

This blows, like I said in another thread, at least they called up the right pitcher in Barnes.

[Pendleton]

Too bad about Liriano, but glad to see Barnes up as he can give us multiple innings as well.

[fatcowxlive]

No that's wrong he's available for the ALCS per the new concussion protocols:

 

 

It's similar to the 7-day concussion DL

[Slade]

Cecil is going to have to step it up.

Gov just posted that he can be cleared by the MLB at anytime.

Interesting. I've updated the opening post

They don't need innings out of the pen they need effectiveness. Barnes should only be used for 1 inning max.

Scariest part in all this

 

Cecil walked Chris Davis in the wild card game. Walked odor in 4 pitches in game 2.

 

I have no confidence in him whatsoever. It wasn't even a competitive walk

Hey guys, we still have Aaron Loup!

Cecil has been really solid since about the midway point of the season. He had some rough luck at the start of the season but he's put up pretty solid numbers overall. 11K/9 2BB/9 2.87 xFIP

 

Cecil 2nd half? Pretty slick

 

13.1 K/9 2BB/9 1.98 xFIP

 

Spinng a narrative that he has control issues based off of 2 postseason outings (2 PA)is dumn at its finest.

I believe you're right fatty, TSN just reported it's the 7 day concussion DL... he can't come back for the LDS, but will be eligible for the LCS.

[G-Snarls]

This sucks

 

Presuming we make the ALCS hopefully Liriano is OK

[fatcowxlive]

Ayyy! Thanks for confirming, I was just making a guess lol

[RealAccountant]

Xfip is the worst possible metric to judge pitching performance because it assumes all fly balls are equal

 

That is virtually saying that it is irrelevant how hard the ball is hit. The only thing that matters is whether the ball is hit or not.

 

Anyone who uses it reeks of a lack of education and real world experience

[admin]

Hopefully he's okay and may just miss game one of ALCS assuming we win.

That's not necessarily true at all, it's very possible that we end up in a situation where it would be beneficial to have Barnes pitch multiple innings rather than burning two arms.

They have scrubs like Feldman, Tepera and even Loup who can be used ifs low leverage and they just need innings.

Hey guys,

 

The Jays are -183 favs tomorrow in an elimination game with the ace (one of them) going out at home against a Texas shitballer after the offense just creamed their 2 best pitchers.

 

Maybe tomorrow the Jays can focus on just getting outs with the bullpen instead of worrying about a LOOGY. If the Jays have one problem tomorrow the Rangers have 10.

I wouldn't call him shitballer, in two games against us this season he went 7 innings each and only allowed 2-3 runs in each. It's not elite level but it's pretty darb good.

If we can skate by tomorrow, I almost wonder if we set a three man rotation of Sanchez, Estrada, and Stroman, and maybe Happ can come out of the pen? Just spitballing...

For a 7 game series, not happening.

Didnt they already say that Aaron Sanchez will pitch a maximum of 1 game per series? If a world series berth is on the line are they really going to not use him to save 7 innings?

First I heard of it, and no flipping way, lol.

Exactly, why you say and would like to happen, and what actually happens are two different things.

People keep worrying about Sanchez but the guy I'd be worried about is Osuna. Sanchez looks and fees healthy and Osuna is pitching 5 out saves with a bad shoulder.

Osuna Matata looked fine to me... you're wanted in the Forum Bet Thread in OT, bro.
