I guess three days off is nearly as bad as three straight appearances; needs the inning to stay sharp.

I don't disagree at all that I hold my breath when he comes in and lets a runner get on but its funny because he has a 1.29 ERA and is striking out more than 17 batters per 9 innings.

The problem is gonna be throwing in a 1 run game. Its intevitable. Then you know if he walks or gives us a hit the guy will steal or will be pinch run for and steal. Ill also note that Renfroe got good wood on the fastball Wed and drove it to deep center and Jansen took him high off the wall last night. Was a few feet away from having 4 more ERs on his statline



At least hes closer to the plate right now and the splitter is being controlled better. Still little command. We dont necessarily have a Felix problem like we did a few weeks ago but hes not lights out. Its only a matter of time until his ERA reflects that.

Use Cano in 1 run save situations, Bautista in 2+.

Cano has an ERA


Technically soeaking, he had one before he gave up the earned run. I would say that someone with an ERA of infinity doesn't have an ERA. But I'm likely split tg ing hairs. That said, Cano has been amazing.

Easier said than done taking away all saves from Bautista. Plus it looks like a 2 run save in the 9th til Cano or someone else gives one up in the 8th.


I like where your head is at its just not feasible til Felix blows some chances. Which hopefully he doesnt do

When Givens and Tate are back.... Cano and Bautista should be split up... 

Something like...

 

Day A: Bautista, Givens, Coulombe, Baumann

 

Day B: Cano, Tate, Perez, Baker

No thanks. With this approach you'd be artificially limiting availability and leverage, IMO. Like what if you only need 3 of the group B to finish a given game, you then won't use any of them the next day because you wanna stay with this pairing? If no, and you'd use guys if needed, then you don't actually have a pairing.

I would t make any changes to overall usage. Cano to Bautista unless he's unavailable. Those are the only guys I really trust right now, so bridge to them however needed.

Agree that when Tate and Givens are ready, Voth and Irvin are the guys to go right now. I wouldn't yank Grayson from the rotation yet, and probably not even if he has another dumpster fire start. I'll ride that out a while.
