Say goodbye to our lead

See if he can get out of this without giving up a run

Alas, Hunter Stratton is gone again. Traded to San Diego for another RHP. Typically this kind of move happens when both teams need to free up a spot on their 40.
And the Ozuna clock keeps ticking…..

 

The pitcher they recently got, Rob Marinaccio, has been DFAed. Wow, they seem to be unafraid to cut personnel loose now if they don’t pan out. This is refreshing.
“Paging Mr. Ozuna….Paging Mr. Ozuna….”
Wish they had obtained Coby Mayo from the Orioles to replace Ozuna. He plays third base and outfield and has the weirdest platoon differential you ever saw. Against left handed pitching he puts up Barry Bonds numbers. His OPS against lefties is over 1. Against righties he is 3/4 of Hank Davis and couldn’t hit Steve Blass, and Steve is in his 80s too! Funny type of hitter, but smart organizations figure out what a ballplayer can do and use that to win ball games.
Wouldn’t have cost much, and he would have feasted on all the left handed pitching the Pirates face.

 

Picking up Big Ron was definitely a head scratcher
Get rid of Santana
And
Replace him with another Santana?!?
Also
Paging Mr Soto…paging Mr Soto

 

The bullpen this year is like The Three Stooges. Lose Curly, get Shemp. Lose Shemp, get Joe. Lose Joe, get Curly Joe. But the mayhem goes on no matter what….

 

Spot on comparison
