Although Cimber recorded 1.1 innings of work yesterday, he only threw 11 pitches. Would it not have made sense to use Cimber in a tie game late instead of Barnes? Submariners usually don't wear as quickly as a traditional delivery also.
Why the f*** did we trade for him again?
The turning point was when Borucki went after Alonso and lost. I know you don't want to put the tying run on base, but they should have not thrown him a strike in that situation. If he walks, take your chances afterwards.
With the speed Springer has and already in scoring position with Semien at the plate and Bo on deck, i'd say no. If this happened further down in the order, then possibly.
Springer is on a high after being put back in the lead off spot and having a big day yesterday followed by the lead off double today. He temporarily went into Superman mode.
Like someone said earlier, the performance of the team over the next 5-6 days will directly influence management's decisions. I personally would trade Semien 100% as he's going to neutrally test the free agent market like he planned to do all along. Ray could be a different story as he may soften up on resigning. He may be loyal to Walker in helping him turn his career around.
