i'll give you credit for the past few days
Never been turned on by a mustache but shorty got them mean dsls underneath. Face so plump them thighs gotta be juicy.
Boone recently said Holmes would pitch the highest leverage spots and close some games when Chapman is back. And I'm fully on board with that. Like with us, if you're up 1 in the 8th with Judge, Rizzo, and Stanton due up, throw your best guy. Your next best guy can "close" the game in the 9th with Donaldson, Hicks, and IKF due up. The whole concept that you absolutely have to save your best RP for the last inning is outdated. See Mo in 1996. Having Holmes and King for 4-6 outs each and then Chapman down there too is huge for this team, especially come playoff time. Pitching in general has just been fantastic this season. Give Matt Blake all the money.Clay Holmes is the goods, and to go back to a convo from a couple days ago here.
I wouldn’t move so fast to make him the closer. Clearly the best pitcher in the bullpen. But they have to subscribe to different thinking for him, and how good he is. I think most if not all teams should manage their pen this way.
A lot of it is strategy. And I want Clay pitching in the highest leverage situations. And that isn’t always closing games out in the 9th, it’s probably just as much 7th&8th as it is the 9th.
Requires Boone to be less rigid and see where the game is at. Who is coming up in the next inning, score, etc. and that could mean Clay in the 7th, 8th or 9th.
Hopefully Lasagna gets back in form. Then Chappy and that back end of the bullpen is as good as it has been in a long time.
Na, at least not one he deserves. Arraez, Espinal, and Altuve has been significantly better.might Gleyber be having an "All Star" year under our noses ?
