NLDS Roster!

  1. No surprises here really besides the lack of Matzek. According to Bowman he’s got some Elbow discomfort

  2. Surprised we didn’t bring up a 13th pitcher to replace matzek. Can’t complain too much though

  3. My heart sank when I didn’t see Strider in the first list of pitchers. . . then I saw there was a second list. . .whew

  4. Nit picking at this point, but I wish we had a legitimate PR. We use Heredia and he’s not what I’d consider as a speed threat.

  5. I’d much rather have a 3rd catcher than Adrianza. Makes it tough to play Contreras and Darnaud at the same time, which I think is our best lineup.

  6. Only carrying 12 pitchers seems odd to me. I would have included Elder or Muller over Adrianza. I know Odorizzi is already the mop up guy here, but having an extra arm seems way more useful than having a 14th position player who is almost certainly not going to do anything in this series.

  7. Would have rather had Elder over Odorizzi. One decent outing doesn’t give me much confidence. I like the way the rest of it shakes out. Game time can’t come soon enough

  8. Not sure I saw Adrianza making this roster, but honestly it makes sense incase any one gets hurt and Arcia has to play elsewhere.

  9. Something to consider carrying 14 bats: let’s say god forbid d’Arnaud gets hurt catching and Contreras has to move from DH to C. Now you lose DH. You have a lot of guys on bench to PH.

  10. I just do not get Odorizzi being on. I don’t particularly despise the guy like some do on this sub, because he holds no value in the playoffs. He will not make a start unless someone gets hurt (in which case we could’ve added him anyway), and the stuff is not nearly good enough to play in the late innings.

    The only possible good use for him is to eat innings in a blowout, but I certainly hope that’s not a situation we’re facing at any point in the NLDS.

    Someone make it make sense.

  11. Kinda surprised we aren’t carrying a 3rd catcher just to ensure our ability to use both catchers in the lineup each night but I guess we’d just live with pinch hitting if something happened

  12. The regulars.

    Just another day at the office boys.

    Grabbing a Philly cheeseteak for lunch, doing my part.
