I’m sorry but Jackson is not a closer.

I don't recall any of these relievers throwing hard. Maybe 94 mph at tops.
Or did I miss something

 

[saddles]

I didn't mind the double that Jackson gave up so mich, but walking Devers was atrocious.

 

[fanman8825]

Bullpen so far IP 17 ER 6 = ERA 3.17
Not too shabby.
Think that's right

 

[saddles]

No strikeouts for Adolis yet.

 

[DTLUNA]

No strikeouts for Adolis yet.

And his defense has been solid too.

 

[scotsman#1948]

not bad win the game with 6 offensive players

 

[saddles]

If Walcott starts off hot, i wonder if at some point soon we will see him take Ornelas' spot on the 40-man.

 

[DTLUNA]

not bad win the game with 6 offensive players

And good pitching

 

[Duane1952]

Martin looks more the part, for now.

Yep. Martin should be closing

 

[DTLUNA]

If Walcott starts off hot, i wonder if at some point soon we will see him take Ornelas' spot on the 40-man.

I do not see why not. Ornelas just not offer much value to the team.

 

[Duane1952]

And his defense has been solid too.

Seems like the adjustments he made are working.

 

[Duane1952]

I do not see why not. Ornelas just not offer much value to the team.

He hasn’t even hit well in the minors

Martin has hit above that a couple times. Jackson throws his slider 50% of the time, so he’s not a high velocity guy.

 

[DTLUNA]

DeGrome was very good but I was surprised he did not get more K's. Probably b/c it was his first game.

 

[saddles]

They said in the post game that it seems Adolos has abandoned the srance he used in ST and has gone back to his old stance

 

[WastinSomeTime]

DeGrome was very good but I was surprised he did not get more K's. Probably b/c it was his first game.

That was more at the beginning. Once he got on a roll he started striking them out. I know at one point he struck out I believe 5 in a row.

And 3 of those runs was in the 1st game I believe.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We took 3 out of 4 from the team many believe will be contending with us for the AL pennant with a Seager that when he played was not at full strength, Jung and Smith pretty much missing the last 2 games of the series. Mahle did not help matters in making the BP go over 7 innings yesterday. I am not going to beat up Taveras who is hitting 375 to start the season and with 2 catchers who have done very well as far as I am concerned. I know they have not thrown anyone out but Leiter was pretty much told to not hold anyone. There was a couple very close plays and to me their throws were right on the bag for the most part. And they have been great on offense. I choose to be extremely satisfied with how this series turned out considering we lost game 1.

I don’t know much about these relievers outside of Church and Garcia. Remember when Jackson came up with our team years ago but seems so long ago.
Really hope Church can emerge to the top out of this group

 

[scotsman#1948]

And good pitching

pitching was adequate but other than deGrom wasn't anything to write home about
