It was a great W but how long is Atkins going to allow this?
Romano is cooked. He had nothing last night. His FB is still down 1.5 MPH avg from '21. Thursday using him up 4 in a 4 games series was a mistake, which we knew.
Merryweather has been hit hard all year but when you use all your bullets (tin as some of them may be) every f***ing night even when not needed, thats whats left. So in he goes against Trout and Ohtahi to a completely predictable result. His FB has look like Nate's when he gets rocked. Hard, no movement and bad location. Some people forget when Merryweather started having success for those now stuff of legend 10 days in '21 Charlie started to throw him multiple innings, as brittle as he has been. He just can't help himself. Giles is another.
But yet he pulls Manoah early and leaves Berrios in too long. He maneuvers himself into a Goldschmidt/Borucki match up.
He should go on a fking permanent Bongo Band World Tour and leave the Jays to winning a WS ring.
