The whole pen is bad but our RHP pen guys are really exposed. Mentioned Bush earlier and really don’t want Andsrson.
Stratton was used LeClerc was used but?
Right now I would take Anderson or Speas over Sorbz.

Boo him off the field. This is complete and utter incompetence.
It sure is. I think he would have brought Perez in but my feeling is he has to keep him available for tomorrow with things up in the air.

I would have gone with Perez but your right we don’t have much to bring in but the problem for me was not getting more pieces at the deadline. Stratton was fine but clearly not enough.
Stratton is the best but he was maybe not available.

I think they underutilize Perez and Bradford. Need guys like that to go multiple innings IMO

Force Eovaldi to make a couple of rehab starts and you wouldn't have to hold back so much of the pen for his start.

If we did that we might as well shut him down for the rest of the season

Unless Lowe has a significant injury, they are not bringing Crim up.

I have always liked Perez. Wish it would have worked out for him as a starter but he has done a nice job in his new role

Managers with no pen can never be considered a bullpen genius. Saw Bochy agonizing wheher to pull Sborz. But yeah Perez is the fuy that should piggyback Heaney

Or until a week from Friday.
A couple of rehab starts at AA or AAA would cover 10+ days and normal 5 game rest after 2 rehab start would add 5 days. That would leave him 1 start here might as well shut him down

So suffer thru 20 games with them or DFA Sborz and Miller, send Smith and Taveras down and bring up Crim & Carter
Probably a reliever is more realistic DFA or an injury that puts one on 60 day IL.
Smith is a utility guy forced in due to injury.
Pretty capable utility guy. Looks like he is trying to do too much. He can pull for HR but needs more line drives.
Let’s trade Leody. We will get something

Would think the only big plus if we collapse is to being up some young guys
