Why Was he removed after 5?
We saw the aftermath…..Oli needs to let these starters eat if they’re doing well
McGreevy needs to stay in rotation

What the IPad says, goes

I've wanted him to replace Pallante for weeks.

Pallante last 11 GS:

5.55 ERA
1.47 WHiP


If he gets smacked around again tonight and Mo doesn't make the switch, then he's even more inept than we thought

According to Caray he hit the important 69 pitch threshold.

At the very least, McGreevy has no business going back to Memphis

In 39 MLB innings McGreevy has a 2.27 ERA, 2.57 FIP, and 0.81 WHIP. And I’m sure they’ll find a reason to send him back down.

Bingo

Pallante?
Mikolas?

He's better than both of them but for some reason Mo won't make the move.

15 games in a row over 15 days...
13 games in a row the prior 14 days

I'll do the math...28 games in 29 days

Pallante might not be bad in a Matz-like bullpen role. Mikolas has me feeling at least semi-confident when he takes the mound.

it was the White Sox.. might wanna pump the brakes a bit

Noooo!!!

39 innings proves he's Paul Skenes without the side piece

Throwing McG five innings almost cost us. The dumbest move this year. Leading KC 7-2, pulled starter. Dumb.

Mcg needs innings. All starters need innings to grow. The pen needs those innings. Dumb.

Generally agree and dont think he is an ace in the making.. But he also look decent against Dodgers and great against Mets.

I know. You’ve made that clear. Still can go more especially if pitch count was the measure. The load wasn’t heavy either. To assist your assertion reference 28 in 29 days, a long outing would assist that endeavor by saving the pen.

Always been my view long stretches require deep starts.

And if they have another double header? Extra innings? Multiple close games where you lean on 3-4 of your best relievers to catch the Scrubs? Can you guarantee enough opportunities/work for your entire pen without games on the line, to get innings?

I tend to think past the one game and recognize the upcoming schedule and need to get relievers innings. Next we will see complaints that JoJo hasn't pitched in 4 games...
