Ya, those would be my choices for the 3 and 4 holes. And also wonder what leads him to believe that Hand still should be the closer? Well Santana stats are completely skewed. No one is pitching to Carlos because their are no threats behind him. Dude is being walked currently at a 30% rate Or something crazy like that. Which is insane and is a drastic difference compared to his career clip. Which I believe is somewhere between 15-20%. So teams are not throwing him anything good. So if he is batting with RISP. He isn’t getting anything to hit. Hence why had had a crazy OBP with a pretty poor avg. Truly would like to see Santana moved up into the order and Make pitchers throw to him. If not, he will have at least a bat that could move him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is pitching unreal! “Bieber (4-0, 1.30) has 54 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings in his first five starts of the season. He’s averaging 14 strikeouts per nine innings. The 54 strikeouts are the most in team history after the first five starts of the season. They are tied for the third most in the big leagues since 1906 behind Nolan Ryan at 59 and Randy Johnson with 55. Bieber is tied with Ryan and Pedro Martinez. In seven innings, Bieber used every pitch in his arsenal. He threw 26 curves, 25 four-season fastballs, 21 cutters, 17 sliders and nine changeups. He pitched between 95.6 mph and 81.3 mph, according to baseball savant.com “He has the ability to throw any pitch at any spot in the count,” said manager Terry Francona. “He’s got enough fastball to get it by you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this with a pitcher. He’s got a curveball and slider that are almost the identical speed, they just have a different break.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Was looking up Carrascos numbers. It’s impossible to evaluate him. He’s had to pitch against the Twins and the freaking Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates are the worst team in baseball and we own the Tigers. We really lucked out with the schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginaldm9 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The Reds announcer saying he's a man of faith in the apology is super funny. It's not like he said gay people need help or religion or anything, he just went straight for the throat lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
