Instead we continue to go with Velasquez and pivetta when we know what they are. velasquez is lucky that ball wasn’t over the fence.
July 26, 20205 yr Hes all over the place. Anything in the zone, hes getting hammered. It only took two innings. smh....

From what I understand, we should expect to see Howard in about a week and a half or so, whenever they pass the date for service time accrual. It makes sense to leave him off of the roster for 10 games or so for another year of cheap(er) pitching from him, especially if he's the real deal, which I think he is). I fully expect to see him in the rotation by the end of the first week of August.

Honestly d**king around with time of service so you get an extra year (Probably wouldn’t matter as you give him a contract before that anyway) during a 60 game season is how you wind up losing a division. First if he’s that great (also think he is) likely don’t even get close to the last year of arbitration anyway. second the 2-3 starts might wind up being the difference between winning or losing the division. It’s going to be close atop of the division. My guess is that it’s decided by 2-3 games. Those are potentially 2-3 howard starts compared to velasquez/pivetta

Mccutchen hasn’t looked good at the plate in the first two games. He had only one hard hit ball in his at bats otherwise he’s looked completely lost. Quinn imo is a 4th outfielder.
July 26, 20205 yr At this point, you have to question the decision making of anyone in the organization who puts VV on the mound unless it’s at Lehigh.

He’s bad, but at least he’s a pitcher. Vince is like putting a shortstop with a big arm on the mound. He really doesn’t even deserve to be called a pitcher.

What makes this worse its been the same consistent issues with velasquez the last 4 years. 4 years is enough time to know that he is what he is and it’s his 6th year overall.

Just let the kid get some experience and the league hasn’t really seen him so you likely get 2-3 really great starts before the league catches up and he needs to make adjustments. I rather pivetta be the long reliever
