Chappy

It's fine for one slot but not two, that's just asking for a lot of trouble. We would be better off moving Stroman into the rotation and McGowan into the pen. At this point Happ is the weakest arm in that pen and it's time to dump him. Rogers and Redmond should be sufficient as the primary long men and McGowan should just be a one or two inning guy. At some point AA is going to have to dump some of the excess garbage unless he just doesn't give a f***. Happ and Sierra should both be released immediately and Stroman and Gose called up. We still have additional BP arms in Wagner and Stiltson just waiting in the minors at this point so I can't understand why AA would rather risk the quality of the big league squad over losing players that really have little to no value. Jeffress making the opening day roster was another huge eye opener. I really wish their was someone in the upper brass who could call him out on such ridiculous roster management. Even the Wilner thinks AA has done a terrible job with some of the roster management and he is the biggest tool, just goes to show that everyone around this team is aware AA isn't getting the most out of this team but it seems no one is going to call him out on it.

As long as you didn't click on the link.

They have to attack the rim.

He should have made at lest one, those are free f***ing points right there.

That's just it. An inefficient SP affects more than just the innings they pitch. If they can't make it through 6 innings on average then the pen starts to get overworked, quality guys with options get sent down for inferior arms that are 'fresh', and your horses end up having to go longer at times when they probably shouldn't.

Yup. This rotation will result in guys like Jenkins and other crap getting called up probably on a consistent basis at the expense of more qualified options like Wagner because we will need more long relievers every time the rotation blows up. This is where the value of an Ervin Santana is missed. I know a lot didn't want him here but 200 solid innings might mean 40-50 less garbage innings from the pen and subsequently more quality innings from the pen due to more frequent rest.

Swapping Stroman for McGowan probably makes Morrows inefficiencies more tolerable, especially if Stroman can give us 6 innings per start. You know guys like Buehrle and Dickey will give is 200+ innings and Hutch right now seems to be going well.

Until that number comes down, it hurts his actual value to the team even if he starts producing better results. 15 or 16 outs a game is going to kill then pen over the course of a season. You maybe expect that from your worst starter, not one of your top 4 guys.

The problem is that you are talking about a 2 inning difference. No questioning Morrow has the potential to be dominant, but he is a pen killer and that will cost the team heavily as the season progresses. Other than the number 5 SP, every other starter should at least give 6 innings per start on average and even then that's still not enough unless a couple of guys consistently give you 7+ innings.

At some point results matter and Morrow just doesn't have them.

It most certainly is relevant. Efficiency is important. I understand that it's not all in his control, but the bulk of it is. If he can't adjust then it is a huge flaw.

Yup. Morrow has shown signs of greatness, but he needs to improve his consistency. What's his pitch per inning at right now? I'm too lazy to check but I am assuming it's not good at all.

This is acceptable. Looks like I missed a well pitched game. Seems like I only catch bad dickey.

How was Dickey today? Just had to step out for a bit.

You need to introduce Spanky to the cell phone. Would make logistics much simpler. Is he aware of this technology?

How will you two plan your baseball trips without email or phone contact? This will devastate Spanky, quit being so selfish and continue to accept his emails.

I expect the Jays to get crushed today.

Just checked my email and I too received this email. How could you do this Spanky??

Unless Spanky sent them to you with malicious intent.

Stroman over McGowan could be a huge upgrade. I agree the rotation looks a lot better with Stroman. Move McGowan to the pen and dump Happ. McGowan could end up being a very good long reliever for us.

16BB in 22 innings is extremely concerning. Another bad outing and I wouldn't be surprised if an injury is announced.

Probably TJ surgery coming soon.

Where is Edwin?
