How did he do in 2015 against the royals?

Padres with a nice 2 run comeback in the 8th and 9th vs the Dodgers to push it to extras or even a possible walk off

Honest question though, how should the playoff bullpen go? What order?

Obviously, but the point remains - it was supposed to be Tucker that came up and mashed.jkag89 said:Yordan is way better than most rookies have a right to be. It is unfair to expect any prospect to be producing these sorts of numbers.Harry Dunne said:
It must suck for Tucker to see Yordan come up and be everything everyone thought that he would be. Hopefully he will rise to the challenge.
Creates a chip on his shoulder and an extra fire. Might be a good thing in the long run.Harry Dunne said:Obviously, but the point remains - it was supposed to be Tucker that came up and mashed.jkag89 said:Yordan is way better than most rookies have a right to be.

It's unfair to expect Tucker to match Alvarez but it IS fair to expect him to come up and produce, especially after all the hype. I'm looking forward to seeing if he's up for the challenge.

How dare you say Harris is any good?!
Remember when y'all didn't even want him on the playoff roster last year.

Here is some perspective on Alvarez's rookie season.
I looked back the last 100 years (1920) for rookies with at least 250 PAs. Yordan is currently at 261.
Top 10 seasons by wRC+
1. 2019 Alvarez - 189
2. 2017 Judge - 172
3. 1970 Carbo - 170
4. 2013 Abreau - 167
5. 2012 Trout- 167
6. 1920 Nicholson - 167
7. 1964 Carty - 165
8. 1972 Fisk - 165
9. 1964 Allen - 162
10. Lynn 1975 - 161
Top 10 seasons by OPS
1. 2019 Alvarez - 1.120
2. 2017 Judge - 1.049

4. 1930 Watkins - 1.037
5. 1925 Paschal - 1.028
6. 1937 York - 1.026
7. 1930 Fisher - 1.019
8. 1925 Rice - 1.018
9. 2001 Pujols - 1.013
10. 1970 Carbo - 1.004
The major difference is most these guys had seasons of 400-650 PAs. The point still stands, Yordan is in extremely rare air.
I like that AJ sticks with his guys during the regular season. It paid off big with Yuli and hopefully will also with Reddick and Osuna. Relievers go through slumps too. These guys are all going to pitch and I don't think Osuna struggling in the 7th of a tight game is any less damaging than in the 9th.Ags #1 said:
All I'm saying is people want to put him as closer now and do what with pressley and osuba? So it's osuna pressley Harris now? Just don't see aj doing that

JV, Cole, Greinke all pitch complete games. No bullpen needed. They can rest after the season.

ALDS - Put Miley in the pen and sweep with no need for a 4th
ALCS - Keep Miley in the pen and sweep so JV only has to make one start on short rest
WS - Keep Miley in the pen and sweep so JV only has to make one start on short rest
