Another good thing about having Smyly around is he can throw batting practice to our guys any time we may need it, they can tell him just go out and throw it like you normally do in games.

The old spin rate really got AA on the Smyly deal, didn't it? LMAO Man I am so sick of the so called spin rate. Its like the workouts in football, he can do this and do that but as Coach Dick Vermeil would say Can he play football? As for the spin rate - Can he get outs and get me deep into games so I can win? Man I hate analytics to an end of itself. Another similar sign was Chaim Bloom signing Garrett Richards for 10 mil. That has worked out about the same even worse. I would take AA over Bozo Bloom but AA got zonked on that deal.

Looking like a good night to sleep, and rest up for tomorrow night's game.

I think it's about bed time. 4 innings for Smyly might be optimistic.

That's ok Smelly, Ole Fartsack will let you do 6 of those things before it dawns on him that we are behind.

I think it's more than just depth with the Dodgers, it's their approach. They make guys pitch, and we don't. They not only throw money around for players but they also have development in the system and they invest in the best coaches that develop that approach. AA is a smart baseball man and he could learn something - actually he has been around there so he can use some of the resources Terry Mc Guirk allows to improve that area Better than throw money away on bad players. And we really don't throw it away for the most part. Mistakes sometimes but under AA we will not see a Melvin Upton Jr sign I don;t think

Maybe the Muts can sign Smyly this off season - he sure would get the Boos he deserves

Smyly's recent HR totals are just stunning. Check this out, and none of this is a misprint:
2019 he gave up 32 HRs in just 113 inning, 2020 he only pitched 26 innings and gave up 2 HR, and now he's given up 26 HRs this year in 114 innings pitched.

Smyly is on pace to exceed giving up his career high in HRS - 32 in 2016 and 32 in 2019.
Oh he throws strikes but they usually wind up in the upper deck
I did not know it was that bad - you learn something every day

Make that 27.

What will our enabler in chief Mr Snitker have to say about it the excuse laden post game show
And what kind of soft ball questions will our bozo media buddy up to after this debacle

Snitker to Kranitz-- "We usually wait until the other team gets 6 to take our starter out, tonight we're going to 8 so it makes it look more justifiable when I bring in Tomlin."

I really hope that AA is not that dam stupid and bring this guy back on a multi yr deal this off season
He cannot be that dumb but he was dumb enough to give this guy 11 mil
