So let me get this straight. Our two mop-up men are responsible for protecting a two-run lead at Yankee Stadium. Ok. Got it.

by xrickx on Apr 17, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions  

I think all our non-Wood relievers are mop-up men.

by Ryan on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, that’s one way to look at it.

by xrickx on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Unfortunately, we don’t have a whole lot of shutdown guys out there. Betancourt & Perez both mopped up yesterday cause they’ve been sucking, and then Joe Smith can’t pitch to lefties.

by zempf on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m kinda hoping to see Meloan up soon.

by zempf on Apr 17, 2009 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Can I REC this? Yes, I can.

Eric Wedge. The Adam LaRoche of managers.

by emd2k3 on Apr 17, 2009 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Joe Smith may not be able to pitch to lefties. But Zach Jackson and Chulk can’t pitch, period.

by xrickx on Apr 17, 2009 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

problem is, with a 25 man roster, you can’t afford to have two mopup men. And when starters can’t go more than 5 innings consistently in a 162 game season, you need to use more relievers. This is on the (whole) rotation more than Wedge.

by Ryan Kelsey on Apr 17, 2009 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree that the rotation leaves Wedge in a tough position. But Smith at a disadvantage is better than Chulk or Jackson at full speed. And where’s Masa?

by xrickx on Apr 17, 2009 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

I know i cant understand that either

by mjschaefer on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Joe Smith has great number against the yanks and faces 1 batter ?

by NCTRIB on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Look at his splits, he should never face lefties.

by zempf on Apr 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Joe Smith has great numbers against righties, which these guys are not.

by FredOx on Apr 17, 2009 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

That was a strike. Ump will not call that pitch a strike.

I’m going to guess that Meloan gets called up tonight

by APV on Apr 17, 2009 3:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Thinking the same. I don’t see any reason to keep Chulk around & we could use a fresh-ish arm.

by zempf on Apr 17, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

If he doesn’t pitch this afternoon for Columbus, that would seem like a good sign. His last appearance was the 14th.

Serenity Now. Look at this again and take a deep breath:

by FredOx on Apr 17, 2009 4:47 PM EDT reply actions   1 recs

So, let’s turn this anger into something positive.

How do we fix the bullpen?

My four suggestions:

1) Call up Meloan for Zachson

2) Use Joe Smith for more than just righties

3) Use Chulk in higher-leverage situations

4) Use Raffy P and Raffy B in low-leverage situations until they regain skill or DFA one of them.

by NickFantana on Apr 17, 2009 4:48 PM EDT reply actions  

One yes. Two nos. And an undecided shrug.

by FredOx on Apr 17, 2009 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m pro #1 there, but the rest I don’t know about. Joe Smith really does suck vs. lefties. I do think at least Raffy P will come around, I’m a little less positive on Raffy B. And Chulk can be thrown into the East River for all I care.

by zempf on Apr 17, 2009 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think we need to not be so afraid of at least trying Smith against lefties if he is starting an inning. It really limits our options when we have to go to the pen early if Smith can only face righties

by Roger Dorn on Apr 17, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

1. I’d rather add Meloan for Chulk. Zachson isn’t good but would be the go-to mop up long inning guy/emergency starter.

2, I like Smith as situational for now.
3. Seriously? Today wasn’t high-leverage enough?
4. I don’t know how many of these we’re going to have. I think both will have to work in various situations.

Eric Wedge. The Adam LaRoche of managers.

by emd2k3 on Apr 17, 2009 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions
