Tropeano to the DL


T.G.

Recommended Posts

How about this as a theory: Doing the Dodger thing, but not as blatantly. We go through and try to identify any issue at all that may turn into an injury, and we throw the guy onto the 10 day DL. Basically, using that as an injury prevention thing along with roster management. Not strictly abusing the DL, but kinda going against the spirit of it.

In the minds of the front office, this is probably the make-or-break year for all these injured starters. Skaggs has his first full season. Tropiano has his first full season. Heaney has his first full season. Because they are so cost controlled, it was worth the Gamble, rather than signing one or two expensive free agents.

Possibly, we are seeing why so many baseball writers picked us to finish around 500. Our starting pitchers are just so unproven. But nobody is out for the season yet.

Ramirez is out for the season with TJS.

Good thing the Angels didn't sign any free agent SP.

good for them.  they'd be on the DL if we'd have signed them.  

outside or Arrieta, the entire FA class of SP has been pretty awful.  Even he gave up 6er in his last start.  Chatwood has been ok although he's still walking a ton of guys.  I was a big fan thinking he'd be better out of colorado.  He has but it's hard to think his peripherals won't catch up at some point.

I doubt Lackey would want to come back either, does no one remember how he was showered in boos here after going to Boston? Not saying he didn't deserve it...just saying.

That's because the Red Sox are C*** suckers

He also died at 42 years old. Sounds real tough

of the 216 runs allowed, 104 were earned.  

they played 114 games.  The rest of the team pitched 359 innings.  

He even hit one of the teams 21hrs that year.  

Charlie Sweeney was the other pitcher starting 24 games with a 1.55 era in 221 ip.  Sweeney also had the second highest ops on the team of .710.  

Team ops was .608.  

They (the providence grays) went 84-28 winning the WS.  They were one of 8 teams in the league.  

 

The worst team in the league that year was the Detroit Wolverines.  

28-84 with a team ops of .531.  

They made 551 errors on defense.  3 guys who made more than 60.  That was only 2nd worst that year.  

The league avg for RA/G was 5.50 and the league era was 2.98.  So 2.52 unearned runs per game.  

 

How the hell did the game survive.  It must have been the most boring painful thing ever.  Literally, this must have been like watching little league.

This is absolutely what is happening.  Tropeano is likely fine and able to make his next start.  However, as the Dodgers showed last year, you can successfully manipulate the DL fairly easily to give starters a start or two off as needed, etc.

It's brilliant, and we are doing the same now.  I am guessing we will see Tropeano back in 10 days.
