16thBBall Fan Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Who’s the worst?? Strickland is last or 150th or worse in 7 major categories, of course, he can’t bring himself in so why does Bell keep doing it??? Just unreal, how many times do you have to prove you can’t do it?? Not enough for Bell I guess!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough for Bell I guess!! With a couple exceptions, the other choices in the bullpen don't thrill me either. Do you use the better ones to squash rallies in innings 6 through 8 or as closers? The good teams have relief pitches to cover all those situations. Bell has a scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'm guessing that Diaz was only capable of pitching to three batters today. Strickland is living a charmed live. He has dodged bullets in the last three or four outings. We have few effective, dependable pitchers. Most are ticking time bombs. Is this the core upon which we are "re-building"??? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Sparky would have a few more wins. Bell has showed me nothing during his tenure of running the team. Where is Sweet Lew when you need him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the sport every manager/coach’s most important characteristic is by his/her decisions and teaching to put the players in the best position to win, then it’s up to them to get it done, Bell has fallen WAY short in his most important job just like the players have fallen way short in theirs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16thBBall Fan Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Strickland tried to blow it in the 8th this time but Bell wouldn’t let him, looked mad when Bell took him out, the only person he should be mad at is himself. NICE job by Diaz to clean it up for him, should be the closer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
