Average FB is sitting tick under 96MPH vs. 98MPH last few years. He's dropped from 96 percentile in average FB speed in MLB to 88 percentile. I think his overuse the last few years is catching up at the wrong time. Zach Thompson is gonna be a key LH reliever for us come playoffs, because Naughton isn't it. Most of the bullpen frightens me tbh. Outside of Pallante, Helsley, and Hicks(for just an inning), I’m not very confident. Thompson should be up as should Naile. Gio is inconsistent and Naughton is yikes. Also, use Woodford dammit. I wonder if Flaherty gets back this season, he takes Daks spot, does that push Dak to the bullpen and would he do well in that role? He’s been pretty inconsistent this season but should be expected coming back from TJS. Although I thought he was better earlier in the year than lately.

That is what he was sitting around before he got hurt at end of last season. According to Katie Woo his FB Velo averaged just under 93.5 and topped out at 97 mph.

I actually Like what I’ve seen from Naughton most of the year. I feel Like he’s been way better than Cabrera. I agree on Thompson though, I think he Plays a big role in the BP come playoff time. Would love for both He and Hudson to strengthen the Pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's right, he sits around 94-95 and can reach back and get 97 when needed. He was sitting at 90-91 when he was first working his way back earlier this year. Good sign IMO that maybe it truly was dead arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust Naughton at all in a high leverage situation. Just like last night. He just doesn't have the stuff IMO for that role. He's fine a middle inning guy though, but come playoffs I want another high leverage LHP, especially with Cabrera not looking like 2019-2021 year(s) Cabrera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak was lights out last year in that role down the stretch, but he also wasn't walking guys like he is this year. Maybe being reduced to the 1 inning helps that though.

MOSteelers56 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think they're running into issues bringing Yepez back up. He was skidding when he hit the IL and now Dickerson is actually playing MLB level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I hope he comes back next year. Still pitching like a stud but I can understand if he wants to go out with Yadi and Albert. Plus I know his family is ready for him to be around more.

kgarrett12486 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If Albert continues this torrid pace the next 1.5 months and ends up with like 694+ homeruns, does he come back next year to get 700? The competitor he is, I wonder if it eats at him not to get that mark. He's still absolutely destroying LHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was asked that the other day and he said 700 didn’t matter to him and this was definitely his last season. Hope he changes his mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those type of numbers don’t really matter to a guy like him (sure fire HoF) like they do to fans. I think when he knows he is done, then he will walk away. And I think the one last trip with Yadi means more to him than any statistical mark Waino on the other hand, has never actually said this is the end. He’s kept quiet to let Albert and Yadi have their shine. But I’ll be honest, I’m worried we’re nearing the end of the road so the him as well. You cant just pretend the Yankee game didn’t happen. And he seems to be having to put a whole lot more effort into pitching the last few months, even compare to the start of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 "Frankie Montas was torched for six runs over six innings on Thursday in a loss to the Blue Jays. Yikes. Montas served up eight hits, including a gargantuan three-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the second inning. He finished with just two strikeouts and also issued one walk. The hard-throwing 29-year-old righty has allowed eight runs on 10 hits with a 6/5 K/BB ratio across eight innings (two starts) since being acquired at the trade deadline" I think we made the right deadline deals for SP.
