Rationale for starting Miles every 5th

[Dicktar2023]

There are 18.5 million reasons.

Rationale ? The way Miles is pitching why not give him a 5th for each start. He certainly would be more relaxed !

No, he should only start on the 5th of every month left, so 2 starts left unless those are open dates.

Just checked the schedule ... Aug. 5th is AT LAD and Sept. 5th is home game vs. San Fran Giants It is 1985 Mystery Bobblehead Night so that promotion may bring a crowd for Mikolas last game according to your plan.

Contract.

BDWJr getting his money's worth even to the detriment of his team, par for the course.

There is no Youth in this entire organization who wouldn’t benefit from some ML experience,……are they too scared to do this??
This was the year TO DO this
Instead we get to watch a 36yr old throw BP???

Money money money money money Money - Ohio Players.

We are beyond “sunk costs” to “stunk costs.”

Since Mikolas can't be traded , either send him to the bullpen or DFA. How many years does he have on his contract? Replace him with McGreevey.

He has literally weeks left on contract…….and if old man Dewitt needs to keep a god awful stinker in his rotation to get every last penny out of it
He’s more bat chit demented crazy than previously thought

If not traded or released send him to the pen.

I need to know the rationale for not starting Herrera behind the plate like 4 out of every 5 days. I realize his D was bad but let's not pretend it was costing us games. This is the perfect time to let him work through it.

Instead this will be the season where we had to move our starting C to 1B to save him and then move our next starting C to DH to save him. Which results in starts for Pages, who has no part in our future.

Basically feel the same way about Herrera. I never liked the pushing for position change from catcher, only for him to suck on defense anywhere else too. The team needs him to work hard in the off-season on drills for his catcher tools and skills. It doesn't really do the team any good for him to be DH only. Too bad that this team is lacking enough quality bats, because I otherwise would consider Herrera as trade bait.
