I loved that trade for the Yankees at the deadline

Getting the super pen and Frazier

7:53

What I like about Bauer long term is the cutter/slider and changuep are also legit offerings and he has the two-seamer ...

7:54

Still a lot of untapped upside

But this inning isn't going so well

7:55

Remember the Indians elected to move Mike Clevinger to the bullpen and not in this No. 4 spot in playoff rotation

7:56

Only Kluber and Carrasco had been better starters than Clevinger in the Cleveland rotation over the last month of the season

Encarnacion available tonight? Francona: “were working towards that... if you see him strolling to the plate that means he’s available.”

Judge HR kills Bauer's evening, right?

Travis Sawchik

Wouldn't help!

FYI Travis, when I read the Sanchez article I thought it made sense and that you made good arguments. It's just that he then immediately proved you wrong. :(

The timing was horrendous

So Olson only got 1 vote and then they show him up in the pen.

Olson has been really, really good

0.00 ERA in 20 major league innings this season after he was called up after the Boone Logan injury

Last year, everyone wanted their teams to switch to the indians' Andrew Miller-style bullpen. Step One: Find an Andrew Miller.

Yeah, but I think it applies regardless of bullpen talent ...you want to maximize using your best arm

Should/can teams start preparing pitchers to go on short rest in September?

Travis Sawchik

8:00

I think the issue is you wouldn't want to stress arms before you need to ... but maybe you could go short rest with reduced pitch counts?

That poll was an epic fail

Technically, not of the answers for that last poll were correct. Only got through 1 2/3.

Travis Sawchik

Yep

Let's pretend it never happened

I got screenshots, Travis.

You'd be a great cooler at the casino

How well does that pay?

Trevor Bauer is a good baseball pitcher. Random variation makes him look exactly like a bad baseball pitcher. Poor Trevor Bauer. Except, not really, because he is Trevor Bauer and he isn't the best human being. Good random variation.

Travis Sawchik

8:06

I still like Bauer the pitcher and I think Bauer the person is misunderstood

I've really enjoyed my interactions with Bauer this season as a reporter

Peter

8:06

So that really is the example of judges strength right? Up and in and can still have it one hop the wall

"I like pitching on short rest." - Guy who has never successfully pitched on short rest.

That pitch to judge was up and in and 99 mph. Not a bad pitch. Bauer is/was hitting 99!
