Intersting on the pitch selection - however shouldnt McCann be telling this kid which pitches to use from behind the plate ? Or is it McCann that doesnt know what he is doing ?
If this series showed us anything, it was something we all knew, bullpen is going to be a roller coaster and Realmuto is a way superior all around catcher than McCann.
Yup, the bullpen is going to give us all heart burn. I am confident with Cohen they will make another move or two, if needed. So this might not be how the 'pen looks by July.
Right. But they also might have dodged a bullet on someone like Trevor Rosenthal, who is now injured. As long as they are willing to pick up a lot of money in trades, they shouldn't have to give up too much in player capital.

They probably had a game plan to start the game and then adjusted after they saw it wasn’t working.

I agree on the move or 2, but at what cost ? They could have signed some quality arms and all it would have cost was some $$, not players and $$.

In regard to the ‘split’ double headers, are they 7 or 9 inning game ?
I believe all doubleheaders are 7-innings this year.
