Think Kirk could outrun Eloy. Not that it mattered anyway in the end but damn

If dude tries to run any faster he’ll blow a hammy

He’s got Stanton speed

[mphenhef]

Why doesn't Tyler Rogers come into games with runners on more often (only once this year).  Like 1 out with runners on 1st and 3rd like tonight wouldn't a ground ball machine be a good call?

Because John Schneider is manager, and that is one of the 10 Commandments of BP Mismanagement:

Im sure his answer will be that other guys were unavailable and that Nance needed some work….

A fair answer except idk why he tried to stretch him for a 2nd inning. Playing with fire

He always tries to be sneaky efficient but it burns him half the time. He's a stubborn man that's for sure.

This Lauer guy is a buffoon

Guy came out preready with an excuse just in case.

I'd say Lauer's days as a Jay are nearing the end. Not pitching very good and becoming a malcontent in a very tight knit locker room it seems.

It seems inevitable at this point. Not sure why the dude is being such a primadonna

And with a couple SPs close to coming back he's going to have to go back to the pen more than likely, which won't make him any happier I would imagine. 

If they hadn't brought in Corbin I'd say make him tough it out, because we could certainly use another solid pen/bulk arm option, but the whining must be getting tiresome.

Thats totally fair.  Lauer's a 5th/6th starter on a normal team and our 8th starter if everyone's healthy.  Hes just filling in due to injuries at the moment.  Should have different expectations for different players :)

Were you not pushing for him to be our high leverage lefty out of the pen this offseason? Or was that your brother?

Haha so salty because you look like a damn idiot for your Hoffman takes.  I mentioned not having a high leverage lefty out of the pen and a true closer as our gaps in the pen.  

Lauer was supposed to be the long man out of the pen (our Yarborough pretty much) but i wouldnt have minded to see him getting a turn in that role out of necessity with only Little/Fluharty there.  

We havent seen what Lauer would look like out of the pen due to our injuries.  I also wouldnt be a damn homer if he s*** the bed either lol.

So what do you think of Lauer’s poopoo stats lately? And how do you think his stuff will play up in the pen? I am curious

Hes obviously struggling but i have a soft spot for him because he stepped up huge when we needed him last year.  Hes only in the rotation right now because we have injuries but good luck finding a better 8th starter on most teams.   

We need a long man out of the pen anyways so thats where id like him (as our Yarboroughl).  Obviously his stuff doesnt scream "high leverage" guy out of the pen but we dont have any lefties other than Fluharty so im sure he'd get opportunities by default anyways.  Then you let performance dictate where to go from there.

Since being sent to Buffalo, Little has pitched 7 scoreless innings, struck out 12 and walked 4. Also, 3-0

He'll be the new closer by June
