@birdlandminute I think he believes every replacement level reliever can be coached to throw high spin rate pitches for strikeouts. Therefore, acquiring proven bullpen arms is a waste of time and money.
@bowen_tc@Manny19990821@Orioles A few of our guys vs. lefties so far this year:
Sam Basallo - .278 avg in 36 ABs
Gunnar - .205 avg in 73 ABs
JJ - .217 avg in 46 ABs
TON - .089 avg in 45 ABs
Seems like he might be one of the better guys against lefties?
@tylerbarberis_ He’s a rookie manager that was hired when the team needed an experienced manager. Alby hasn’t been especially bad, but Buck Showalter or similar would have this team at .500.
@ryanripkenshow There are rumors that several O’s players have brought in outside coaching help for themselves. Cowser was the most recent example. Do you believe this, and how rare is that in the league?
