    I'm not amazed at all. He seems to be a prefect fit wherever he plays. Great play on the speedy LoCastro in the hole and another covering first on the bunt. You don't see many 2B making that play. Heads up play.

    No worries. Just a slump. Don't want him dragging that funk with him to SF and Houston.

    Dirty little secret..........Kelly is starting to look like 2018 World Series Kelly, although I still expect him to break my heart (insert Fredo line here).

    Victor needs to get those walks out of his system. A good team is going to make him pay.

    Maybe the key to managing Kenley at this stage of his career is avoid back to back appearances.

    It will never happen, because his numbers are not spectacular enough, but an argument could be made he could be our most valuable player.
    There are enough awards in BB, for sure, but the way baseball has morphed into the game it presently has become, one for top utility man would be justified.
    And I know who would get my vote.
    First ballot. Lol.

    Pretty much. Give him rest and he’s good. We have options in the bullpen once guys like Gonsolin and Cleavenger come back so it’s not like Kenley has to be the closer now.

    I hope after the playoffs they learned to just put their best guys in. Julio being lights out as a reliever got is that World Series

    Yeah if there’s one thing we’ve learned, and it’s not specific to Kenley, it’s that you win in the playoffs if all hands are on deck AND if you don’t just lean on the same reliever. Even the best relievers are gonna turn to shit if you push them too much.

    Will be interested to see what we do as far as trades. I think priority number 1 is a good reliever, lefty or righty. After that, maybe a swing man type because our starting pitching depth is low and we’ll see if we need a right handed bat

    we’re gonna need some regular season help though. Giants look good

    the bite on a couple of those breaking balls was amazing
    combine that with a 96/97mph FB and he can be near unhittable
    his command is the key
