Libby needs to be moved back to the bullpen - the only role he’s had success in. But the team cannot do that because they have no SP depth, especially since it’s very likely May will soon be traded.

He needs to go to the bullpen. And Dobbins should be in the rotation.

They have Dobbins and Mathews now appears ready. There is zero reason to give Liberatore another start this season unless there is an injury. He had his runway. He crash landed...

Yes, Lib struggled last night. Lots of soft hits. Dobbins was no better than Lib though. After DMay, we don’t really have a reliable #2. McG, AP and KL are doing just fine, but I don’t think our playoff caliber SPs are here yet.

No not yet ...you are correct.
I see the higher ceiling arms starting to emerge in 2027.
But we should see more of Dobbins plus Mathews is knocking on the door.
Mautz?

Been saying for many weeks he needed to be shuttled to the pen' or even sent down to the pitching lab.

But once again Oli shows why he's just not the right Manager going forward once we get past the new CBA season when asked last night about Libby going down:

"No chance,” Marmol said. “I have not thought of it once.” ::crazya::

Fortunately you're NOT in charge of the roster, sure hope the POBO doesn't see it your way or at the very least insist Libby go back to the pen' where he BELONGS.

If Bloom is giving Marmol any say in the roster its a big mistake. That guy isn't smart enough to get out of the rain.

:lol:

Yea in today's game it likely is a joint decision and Oli probably does get a part of the say.

Nothing in his resume says he is capable of such decision making.
