FEARtheELF Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Man.... since the deadline Hand, Reyes, Cimber, Logan Allen have been BAD. We should never make a trade with the Padres again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Why does Brad Hand suck now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 This is a team that will lose the wildcard play in. Just too shaky at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooks1957 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I cannot for the life of me see why Tito keeps trotting Brad "Rosie Palm" Hand out for save situations. If consistency is what he is looking for, he got it. As Candy said, not one, not two, but THREE CONSECUTIVE blown saves. Earth to Tito...... You are in a pennant race, already behind the eight ball - and your boy, who you hope by some miracle, just straightens himself out - is handing the division over to the Twins....... You CANNOT just keep doing the same thing - someone else needs to be in the closer role. Hand has taken a Cody Allen-esque tumble. Time to face the obvious facts.

brooks1957 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I will be honest - I did not watch the bottom of the 10th. I purposely turned off the game and went to bed when I saw a ONE RUN lead and BRAD HAND entering the game. Consistency, ahh yes - I knew he was going to blow the save yet again. And then this morning I see the ugly details. FIRST BATTER - boom! double. But even with that - Tribe had an opportunity to close out the Mets..... And NumbNuts doesn't cover first! Something you practice 1000x a day from spring training on. Hand needs to go - and yesterday. F Bomb him. Cut him - call up a middle reliever from Rookie ball - get that anchor out of here! https://www.foxsports.com/ohio/story/cleveland-indians-boot-potential-game-ending-double-play-new-york-mets-capitalize-in-extras-to-win-4-3-082119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Here is a quote that says it all for me: "You want to kill a clubhouse, keep going to a closer who can’t slam the door after his teammates have sweated for nine innings to get a lead." https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/2019/08/what-are-the-cleveland-indians-options-if-they-replace-closer-brad-hand.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly inspiring leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t hit #1 pitching and definitely don’t have a stopper coming out of the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets are just a very hot team. At the start of the 2nd half of the season they were 41-50, they are now 67-60, so 26-10 since the break.18-5 in their last 23games.
