Well, he got the save today, so it seems like at worst he's part of a committee. Can't see a reason why they'd use Trivino except when Hendriks is unavailable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CraftyRighty 308 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Anyone have the cliff notes on past pitchers who have rotator cuff issues? I thought for sure these things are 4-5 weeks minimum and that is when it is just slightly strained Link to post Share on other sites

Doing his best A.J. Minter impersonation. 🙃 Alvarado is coming back just in time to seize the closer role again. Or to join the dumpster fire. 51 minutes ago, bigboyish said: Boston's entire bullpen is just trash right now. Just now? More like all season. Also I think they are just one person they cloned. I mean have you seen them? Every last one of them are white guys with brown beards. I can't tell them apart and I watch Sox games all the time. Only difference with them is they have different numbers on their uniforms but of course no names on the home white uniforms so unless you memorize their numbers you have no idea who is pitching by just looking at the screen since all of them suck including Barnes today. 24 minutes ago, KilloWertz said: I'm still right that Boston's situation is pretty much pointless though since it's become a dumpster that should be lit on fire by Alex Cora and Theo Epstein. Today being a prime example. How they managed to blow that lead against Toronto is pretty sad. Theo is back in Boston? Don't tell the Cubbies.

There looked to be an opportunity, but Jackson got the next save chance. He’s the closer barring another blown save (or 2?). And looks like Swarzak is next in line, as Minter continues to pitch the 7th. Long term do I think it’s possible? Yeah. But not sure I’d hold that long. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousRob 3,510 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Trivino had already been pulled from high leverage situations before Treinen went down. Happened a couple days ago. Liam is who I'd say is next in line, and though nothing is definitive until it actually happens, I would be stunned if it was Lou over Liam. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If he does get dealt though, I do think there's a decent enough chance he goes to a team that actually needs a closer since there are several contenders that could use one. Same situation as Will Smith in that regard. Agree, they better get a lot for him Link to post Share on other sites

But at least he ended his streak of 4 games in a row of allowing at least a run... Sarcasm aside, I guess he's one more blown save away from handing the job to Oberg. I know they're paying him a ton of money, but he's been awful for nearly two months now and wasn't even that great to start the season (5 straight games with a walk). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
