Oso planning to go pro
He won't be batting in the Playoffs.And again, he's 3 years removed from winning the ALCS MVP. He's proven the lights are not too bright. Tyrone Taylor has 65 career hits.
JBJ is the streakiest of streaky hitters. He basically was a .200 - .220 type hitter for the Red Sox except one month a year when he was Willie Mays in his prime. Looks like he never had his Willie Mays month this year.
Brewers don’t need to win today.
That Devin Williams injury…wow. What a stupid thing to do, a huge blow to the Brewers.
They really need Strickland, Cousins, and Boxberger to step into Williams role. I’m very concerned that Cousins can handle late innings in postseason. Williams is like having two closers. This is a significant loss. Hopefully their depth will get them through. I’ve done my share of stupid drunken things, injury to myself is not among them. Unbelievable.
Houser and Ashby will see high leverage spots.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
High leverage spots in postseason is asking a lot for a guy who’s been a starter his whole career and hasn’t really pitched in relief in two years, and a talented, but erratic rookie.
The talented rookie has been anything but erratic. Incredibly consistent since his one bad outing in his MLB debut.
🙄6 days ago he pitched 2 innings, gave up 2 ER, walk, two hits, including a HR, and took the loss to STL in what was a high leverage situation.
So are you saying that every MLB pitcher is inconsistent? Using your reasoning, I challenge you to name one pitcher in either league who is consistent. I will then point to ONE GAME that proves you wrong. Other than his MLB debut, Ashby’s ERA is outstanding
You said he’s been “incredibly consistent” since his MLB debut. I pointed out that isn’t accurate with evidence not even a week old. So now you’re just being obtuse, or you’re incapable of following an argument. Have a lovely night Jockey.
He gave up 4 ER in 2/3 of an inning in his 1st start and since then in 11 games has given up runs in 3 games. His ERA is is 2.90, his FIP is 2.94. He has 38 K’s in his last 30 IP. He’s been used as a long man in many of those spots and been brilliant.Houser started his career in 2018 coming out of the pen and made 17 relief appearances in 2019.Is it ideal. No way and I won’t make that argument but I won’t be surprised if Ashby is a major contributor in October.We should probably assume Houser and Lauer will be the #4 depending on matchups, however. It’s possible they decide Houser is better matchup as a game 4 starter than Lauer so it might take him out of the running.
