Leclerc is the best option we have right now? Dang our chances to win just went way down. Wish I was over reacting but we have seen this movie way to many times.

I am sure W. Smith is slated for the 9th. We could bring him for the 1+ innings?
Leave him in Pittsburgh

There it is, Smith coming in. Bases juiced unfortunately. Reallllly needed Taveras to have about 6 more inches of reach to get that single earlier.
There's is no way Leclerc is on this team after the trade deadline. He'll be DFA for sure
He needs to stop playing so damn deep. That's two innings in a row that he couldn't field a routine pop up because it's playing 15 feet in front of the trackKT 90 said:KT 90 said:Water Boy said:

Should have had him in from the get go. 1 run lead is wayyyyy to close for leclerc. Maybe if we were up 4-5.
There you go Smith! Left them loaded, bailed out LeClerc.
Thank god, can exhale for once
Will ****ing Smith
World's worst proofreader
Leclerc should only be used for games where we are up 6-7 runs. He's slightly above a position player pitching at this point. I don't like being negative but it's just the truth.
Honestly thought LeClerc looked better. Unfortunate that blooper fell, think he would've been fine had it not. But good job by smith to bail him out.
I thought his stuff was better and his velo was back. But he's still overthrowing the fastball and slider.
Ball game. Series win over the Pirates.
ONE RUN WIN!!
Can Smith pitch every day?
Pretty massive series against the Orioles on deck.

Sequencing! (A 2016 throwback)
Huge win. Those are the kinds of wins that take this team to a new level. Love to see it!
Back to a 3 game lead and Ags up 3-0
Heck of a win. That could have gone sideways and the guys got it done
You mean we are only 3 games back now right? I was told that we would be out of 1st place by last Sunday?
We still positioned to finish the season with a Top5 draft pick?Water Boy said:

Asstrosss, what happenedddduhhh????
Roster isn't big enough to carry a RP who's only good enough to take over 6 run leads. We're gonna have to make a move there.

The problem is you can't. There's no one in the farm ready. Church was just promoted to AAA, Duffy and Otto should be close to getting back healthy and starting their rehab assignments. Probably still a month or so away before any potential reinforcements.

Well, we actually have two that fit this category at the moment. Although LeClerc has looked a little better than Hernandez of late (but that's not saying much).
Yeah, I didn't say there were any good options right now. A healthy deGrom would give us one of the SP arms back to the pen. I think just one more arm besides that will make a big difference.
Leiter had an improbable line:
4.0 IP, 1 ER, 1 R, 7 BB, 4 SO, 1 HBP.
20 Batters faced. 91 PC, 44 Strikes
He put 8 of the 20 batters faced on via BB or HBP and only gave up 1 ER. That's 2 free passes every inning.

He's still quite a ways from the show.
In fairness, he'd been a lot better the 3 or 4 starts prior to this one. Still quite a ways to go before he'll be MLB ready though.

Nuke LaLoosh! Someone get that kid a cougar in Frisco and a seasoned veteran catcher.
The warning signs were there with BB's in his college stats. The hope is they reel them in as you develop, which there are flashes of doing so, but then you have a "dam son" night like last night. Forget just the free pass aspect, you do wonder if he's gonna ever be able to locate like a MLB pitcher has to. Gnarly stuff still gets hit at the MLB level.
That's one of the impressive stats about Skenes this year. 15 walks in close to 90 innings. Leiter had 45 in 110 his last year

Mariners are destroying the A's going for the 4 game sweep tomorrow. Why do other AL west teams dispatch of the A's so easily, but we don't?
Our 2 losses to the A's look terrible by comparison.
