Daniel Labude

That doesnt mean he has been awful. His fastball has been unhittable today. His offspeed pitches resulted in some walks trying to strike batters out. Wasnt his best day but 1 run on 2 hits in 4 innings is not awful

Off speed command 100% as been awful. He has gotten ahead of almost all hitters and just hasnt been able to put hitters away because his curve has been off and his change up too fast today. His fastball has been good and Oakland hasnt v Been able to hit it

Lmao at this

Smoak looked slower than me running back to 2nd base

Have they announced his official injury?

If you can get a pitcher better than Syndergaard for a cheap to decent price and same age...absolutley you do it

Bring Alford up at the same time as well

Not a lot, just waiting for some better weather

What's going on with the board. I was gone for like 18 hours

What's a sac bunt

May 1st (4PM)

And Sale on Tuesday

Hasn't helped though

2 oppo hits already for Cleveland...wonder if our coaches ever stress this to our hitters lmao

Smoak traded, Tellez to 1B, Teoscar to DH, Alford CF, Grichuk RF, McKinney LF. Could happen in a week. Also I think Alford will be up for a bit either way

Alford!!!!!!!!

Alford is the #5 prospect in the organization according to MLB Pipeline, but has struggled recently. Alford hit .240 with 5 HR, 17 SB, 7.2 BB% and 26.9 K% in 105 games this past season at AAA. He has the tools to make any fan drool, but he just hasn't put it together above AA. Playing football and suffering through a rash of injuries have put Alford behind the mark in the last couple of years, but he is afforded another chance at a breakout season. 2018 was the first season Alford eclipsed the 110-game plateau and wasn't completely held back by injuries. What the stats show is someone who needs to get back to making better contact and taking walks. In 2017 while at AA, which was his best minor league season to date, Alford hit .310 in 68 games. Most telling from that year was his BB% of 12.1 and K% of 15.6. After this point, he was shuffled between the majors and AAA in between injuries, which has subsequently slowed Alford's progress. After a full season at AAA in 2018, expect Alford to come out in 2019 ready for a breakout season. He needs to maintain a BB% and K% closer to what he put up back in AA. That will be the key to Alford turning things around and coming back into the conversation as an everyday MLB player. There’s still hope, although he’s running out of time and opportunity.

Better be Alford time

Ricky Romero would have a decent chance at that given this lineup

I really think we dont do enough in ST to get ready for the season

So basically just pencil in a perfect 3 plus innings for the foreseeable future each game lol

Currently I think. He was 94/95 much of last year I believe

3 years ago yes
