Alcala spelled backwards is Alacla, but either way he just ain't very good.

I get upset too when I see that, but the stuff on these pitches, with the velocity and spin, I'm not surprised that hitting .300 is almost a thing of the past. I heard the other day, don't know that anyone really knows for sure, but they estimate a fastball in the Babe Ruth era was 80 mph. Think what most of these guys today would do to an 80 mph fastball.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:24 pm What a lousy at bat by Winn. Striking out is one thing, but swinging at a pitch 3 feet out of the strike zone should not happen.

Oli could have asked me and I would have told him that Alcala was a bad idea in that situation. Now he knows, or at least I hope somebody bought him a clue.

A few games ago, Oli was being bashed on the GDT for not using ALL of his BP arms. Now here we are.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:55 pm Oli could have asked me and I would have told him that Alcala was a bad idea in that situation. Now he knows, or at least I hope somebody bought him a clue.

Yep. He DOES have to use all of his pitchers... and Alcala has had a decent career, just not a good 2025.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:58 pmA few games ago, Oli was being bashed on the GDT for not using ALL of his BP arms.

I will stick to muttering about Oli not reviewing the basic rules of baseball with all of his players and coaches every spring training.
Nothing wrong with his bullpen usage today.
