WE GOT OUR GUY
Yay?
He looked considerably more dialed in his last few appearances; hoping that trend continues. Seemingly, if FogMan didn’t see an upside, he wouldn’t be coming back.
I’m not against it, assuming he stays as a long relief bullpen guy. He seemed to do well in that role. Could give other bullpen guys opportunities to become starters
How much worse can he get from last season tho right?
this is probably the route we’re gonna take. under the radar/ cheap players. i’m not gonna get my hopes high on any major free agent.
We got our low-leverage mop up guy back. It’s important to have Yuki and him at the ready in a blowout loss.
Good for him. He seems like a really good dude. His stuff was a lot more effective coming out of the bullpen at the end of the year. Hopefully he unlocked something and can be useful in a bulk/fringe role.
🤷🏽♀️
I really liked hart last year. Sad to see him go and now he is back. Yay!
He is going to be a great back of the rotation arm that I can see putting together a pivetta type season.
I’d rather see Tyler Wade on the mound.
He was relatively effective late in the year out of the bullpen so I don’t hate the move. Still need to go get one, preferably two actual starters though.
I liked him better as a reliever. I can’t imagine he was too expensive either.
I’m okay with him as third lefty in the pen/long relief.
Don’t want to see him start.
We trust in 🌫️
Big yawn.
We got our man
He had his moments. Did rather well when he came off the BP rather than starting
Sorry but this is trash. Hart doesn’t improve this ball club in any way.
I can see where this off season is going. 😂
This is not particularly good news. He was unsteady at best this season, never dominant and gave up too many home runs. Seems like a nice guy though.
THATS MY GOAT!!! LETS FLIPPING GOOOOOOO. Now I just need to see king back.
Good. The fact that he could suppress runs relatively decently at El Paso tells me there could be something there.
Mission Accomplished
Next we sign Fedde and Ponce. The league isn’t ready for us to have the last 3 Choi Dong-won winners.
I’m fine with him as a long relief option. You need guys like those during the summer.
As long as he’s not being considered as a starter then I’m fine with it.
You need guys like this to have a deep pen/rotation. I trust Ruben’s opinion, and obviously he wants Hart back.
If they make him a starter this season I’m out until the new owner shows up😂 i ain’t dealing with that stress
