If our starter can get us into the 6th with the lead I feel pretty good. But once you have to use more than Richards, Cimber, Mayza, and Romano things get dicey.
I think they can unload Grichuk on Colorado or something. Eat most of the money. Rockies can sell their fan base on him running into 30 homeruns. They are going to lose Story and I would imagine Blackmon will ask out of town. And quite frankly they should trade him and try to get some value out of his cheap manageable options. He’s also 35.
Yea it definitely depends on how the inning unfolds. They can be aggressive with Romano with the off-day tomorow. And if we’re going to be a playoff team he’s going to have to get use to a bigger work load. The add on run was huge.
Yea I think he keeps Cimber in for Polanco and Donaldson for sure. Wonder if he would f*** around with a lefty vs Kepler or just go straight to Romano.
Cimber’s K rate has climbed since becoming a Blue Jay. I feel like they have encouraged him to throw high in the zone and its not traditional for that pitching style to go up there on purpose. Hes been fantastic and we still have 3 years of control. They gave up nothing for him. They basically just ate the remainder of Dickerson’s money.
He’s given up only 6 Homeruns in a 165 innings and he pitches in a hitters ballpark lol. He’s having a pretty insane season. Only Max is in the conversation and I still think Burnes is the only logical option. Legit top 5 MVP candidate as well.
Absolutely I am. He’s the type of player that can just make a Game 1-0 real quick. Cole on the mound who gives a f***. Springer loves ambushing pitchers in big games. He did it a lot for the Astros which has made him a Playoff Lengend. Hes got Playstation numbers in the Playoffs. Cheating scandal or not. One of the greatest playoff performers of all time and hes 31 lol.
