De la Cruz may be the Pirates worst player.
... Yes.. Clawed his way to at least 8Can Skenes get 7 to 10 strikeouts?
I think we got to second like, two timesNo run support for Skenes.
He got out of it with three strikeouts.Ben Heller makes Colin Holderman look like Mariano Rivera.
Lol insane catch by Hernandez, that effectively ends the inning.
Just enough to piss you off because he was so over due.Yay no shutout by Hayes HR
I was big on the acquisition because I thought he may have another gear. But he is just Olivares redux.De la Cruz may be the Pirates worst player.
I hated it from the minute it happened which certainly wasn’t the board consensus. He’s not THIS bad but as I said the day of the trade - he’s Olivares v2.0. Cherington absolutely stinks at major league acquisitions.Man, sadly I was right about how terrible BDLC is, and the way the pirates handled the trade deadline as a whole. No good hitters, no relievers. They did worse than doing nothing.
What you think it is? Focusing on other stuff, throttling himself, or team orders?
Coming off of IL and to a new team and he still is batting normal. Quality trade.I'm sure BDLC is just in a slump, but it's a TERRIBLE time to be in one...
The entire reason we got him is 55% of our guys are in a slump any given game. We needed some positive consistency.
IKF has been serviceable. For sure not worse than our internal options.
Season ending stretch.Pitching is getting hammered lately. Even Skenes is giving up some runs. Rough stretch
Me too. It's a shame what we have to get excited about.I was big on the acquisition because I thought he may have another gear. But he is just Olivares redux.
