beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'm really beyond baffled as to why we decided Hoover was worth keeping around. He's always been bad. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Lol. Leadoff infield single. Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 oh look...more weak contact for a hit. This is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Just DFA Hoover tomorrow. Dude is garbage. This is why you don't use Spring stats to judge relievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Well, it didn't end with weak contact lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hoover has to be the guy we cut to make room for Guerra. Has to be. If we send down Houser or Williams, I'll lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure looks like it. Nothing pretty. Offense will disappear for stretches. Backend of the pen will blow games. I think you almost have to make Hader your closer by default, which is kind of a shame, as I really like using him in big spots regardless of inning.

beekay414 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I think it's time to find a new hitting coach...since Darnell Coles took over... WAR: 26th AVG: 19th OBP: 18th SLG: 17th OPS: 15th wRC+: 20th K%: 29th BB%: 8th HR: 14th Striking out as much as we do to only be middle of the pack in power is just beyond inexcusable. That's not including pitchers btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have hated the way Counsell has handled that bullpen since the day he started managing. And over the past few days I have never seen so many infield hits against us. I don't know how much more of this I can stand. Baseball is supposed to be fun but this bunch just makes me mad and frustrated. I think I'll find something else to do tomorrow afternoon.

If we send down Houser or Williams, I'll lose it. To me the biggest part of this is Williams' health. Chacin has been terrible, Suter can't go more than 5 innings, Guerra is a complete question mark, and Woodruff is still getting stretched out. This bullpen is going to need to eat a lot of innings. We might have to keep Houser up as a long man if Williams can't go back to back days yet, but it's not like Houser is the picture of health either. If the reason we keep Hoover up is that we don't want to push 2 potentially valuable bullpen arms into another injury because they aren't ready, I'll begrudgingly accept it.

I'm shifting my expectations down a little. If we can get Jimmy back 100% and put ourselves in a position to upgrade the back 7 or so spots in the roster, I'll be happy. Something like a rotation Nelson-Anderson-Burnes-Woodruff-Davies, a bullpen with Knebel-Hader-Barnes-Williams-Albers-Suter-someone, Hiura ready or near-ready for the full time 2B job, and Dubon instead of Perez on Opening Day would basically end the transition from rebuilding to competing. Right now we've got like 15 guys on the roster figured out, including most of the important spots. Just need the depth to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
