I’m not looking at his ERA or his numbers until you mentioned this. I have watched him pitch and there is something not right. Looking at the numbers, now that you mention it, he has 3 BS and 7 losses. His strikeouts are less than 1 per inning.
I’m basing my comment on watching him.
Austin Pruitt also going to the Marlins in that deal.
Could just be as simple as he’s not a closer. I mean is K/9 is 8.7 so it’s not like he’s not striking guys out
15/18 saves
Looking at it more closely, one of those 3 BS was a 10 inning save attempt where he didn’t give up a hit or walk but the ghost runner scored on a sac fly after the leadoff hitter hit a ground ball to the 2B side. Another was a walkoff homer to the first batter in the 10th inning of another game.
Joey Gallo to the Yankees.
Perfect.
I wonder if he’s excited about reuniting with Odor.
Yeah it was noted in 2021 roster thread, Snuff. And it’s “Cabrera” or “Cabrera’d”.
This doesn’t sound like a dude who’s finished making phone calls…
Another all or nothing hitter joining the Yankees’ lineup. He’s an upgrade for them, but his approach is the last thing their offense needs.
They were made for each other. Low BA, high K
The composition of the final bullpen after the deadline will be interesting to watch. We started talking about it a little today, but there will be quite a bit of pressure on guys like Abreu and Javier to keep their spots. I am a big fan of both because of their great arms (see Dotel, O. who initially failed as a starter), but they must throw strikes consistently and stop wasting so many pitches. I am eager to see Baez throw.
I am too. I honestly don’t remember much about him from his Dodgers days. I do know from stuff I read when we first signed him, that Dodgers fans were not gonna miss him. Seemed a common theme was he was ok if you let him start a clean inning, but don’t bring him in with runners on.
Anyway, looking forward to to seeing him…or anyone who can throw strikes.
(Note to Snuff: never EVER try to scoop Walt_Bond.)
Joey Gallo heads to NYC with a grand total of ONE sacrifice fly for his career.
Mack Brown probably had a graduate assistant print HornFans threads so he could roll them up and smoke them.
We should have known when Mack put on his robe and wizard hat.
OrangeBloods was the main target.
An ego as big as Yellowstone and oh so thin skin. Mack Brown.
I supported him and his teams, and he did something incredibly nice for me and my daughter, but at the end of his reign, I could not stand to listen to him talk.
