I know my 3 slow lefties every week was an exaggeration. I’m making the point that aside from last year, we haven’t had a rotation that had this kinda stuff. I loved McKendry, Mediavilla, and Radziewski, but when they made mistakes they got hammered. We have guys now that can make mistakes and...

I’ve already said Mediavilla and Bargfeldt were 17 and 18. And we’ve talked about 19 and 20. Slow lefties were a staple of what we used to do. This goes back a decade. Off the top of my head I can name Diaz, Erickson, Woodrey, Epstein, Bargfeldt, Ewing, Garcia, Cook, and Carmona. Then...

My first response to you said those were the only guys we had that consistently sat 90+. Before this year we are talking about 7 guys in about 7 years. I’m including McKendry and Mediavilla in there. And both those guys were 88-90 after 4-5 innings. That hasn’t been good enough. Which is my main...

That was his freshman year and only started on the weekend a couple times. Next year he made 4 starts and then got hurt. Vandy was loaded with pitching in 2019. It may have not seemed like it bc they didn’t have a Fulmer, or Buehler, or a David Price. But Fellows threw 94, Raby 93, and Hickman...

Veliz started for one year and only made 2 weekend starts if I remember correctly. And that was at the very end of the year against like BC and Tech maybe. Nobody is discussing midweek. Edit: I’m forgetting Lepore. He was the one guy I couldn’t think of. But he threw no harder than Mediavilla...

Veliz wasn’t a starter. And like I said we only had those three for a rotation last year. 2019 was the first year we had hard throwers as starters, but you’re forgetting Slade was midweek then. It was BVB, McMahon and McKendry. For f**** sake we were still running out Jeb Bargfeldt 3 years ago.

McKendry wasn’t a flame thrower. McMahon, BVB and Slade are the only ones recently who consistently sat above 90. We only had them for one full year as a weekend rotation. So no I haven’t been in a coma. Before that we ran out slow lefties for a decade. We would always have one guy who threw...

Can’t be great every weekend, but the offense has been underwhelming so far. We have too much talent to keep falling asleep for 4-5 innings at a time

Another unproductive AB from Jenkins.

I’d put some things in motion here and maybe Jenkins finds a hole bc of it.

I know that’s a tough play but it’s one that has to be made. Vilar just looks unengaged so far this year, both at the plate and in the field.

Finally found it. Mederos is June 2001 so it’s him. We’re gonna miss having him for 3 years by a couple of weeks. We need birthdays added to the roster.

How old are Rosario and Mederos? We get them for 3 right? Neither are gonna be 21 after next year?

Rosario and Mederos are the guys we’ve been missing. Starters like this are what carry you through the postseason. Glad to see our staff finally catch up with the times, and move on from the slow lefties we used to run out there 3 times a week.

Agreed. I would honestly consider going with an opener on Federman days. We need to shorten the game until we find a legit 3rd starter.

I understand the thinking of sending Lala there, but I’ve never been a fan of stealing with a lefty up there. Especially with someone struggling like Vilar. Giving him a hole to the pull side is much more valuable in that spot.

Shutdown inning for Rosario. Huge. As we saw last night when Federman couldn’t get it done.

Low to mid 90s

Already got the big hit we couldn’t get last night.

Gonna need a boat paddle to reach some of these balls
