Right and they could possibly be a couple games better if Casas performed like people on here expect. They've played the Chicago White Sox 6 times and are 3-3. I don't think you can just toss everything aside and say it's only April. They all count the same and when you open the season with 7 games against the White Sox you gotta take advantage of that.

There are some things even irony can't make happen.

I was at the game today, so I didn’t hear the commentary but it was kind of odd to see Chapman in the 8th and Slaten in the 9th.
Only thing i could come up with was the scheduled 8th inning batters were lefty heavy…
Did they say anything on NESN or EEI?

I wasn't watching the game, so can't comment on if anything was said, but the White Sox had the top of their order up in the 8th, so it was a higher leverage situation where it makes sense to bring in your closer. Gone are the days where closers only pitch in the 9th inning.

*whispers*
Justin Slaten should be the closer, anyway.

Merloni said it was probably because they were lefty heavy in the eighth. He seems to like the advantage of a three headed closer: Slaten, Chapman, Whitlock. I think I do too, which is a departure for me. I generally prefer stable roles.

Sounds right…I just don’t remember Cora doing it when he’s had a bona fide closer on the roster.
I’m probably wrong about that though.

Mckenzie’s problem is that his shoulder is burnt chicken
Only thing he does well is release the ball closer to the plate than the average pitcher (he’s 6’5 with long arms so that makes sense). Theres nothing to work with. Don’t need him anywhere near the 40 man

Effective Triston McKenzie:
2025 Triston McKenzie:
Dude is all over the place. Can't throw his curve or slider for strikes. No idea if that's injury related or if his mechanics are all jacked up.

Where did you pull this info from? I've never seen this before. Can you post a link?
