Bullpen Updates @BullpenUpdates

Dbacks +160 No save chances yet. I like Scott McGough to get the first chance. Andrew Chapin and Miguel Castro are in the mix as well. Kevin Ginkel threw 12 pitches yesterday to get two outs to end the 8th. The Dodgers were already up by 6. 8/8

Rockies +164 No save opps for the Rockies yet either. Dinelson Lamet threw 20 pitches as did Justin Lawrence. Daniel Bard is dealing with anxiety and stepping away to try to get under control. The closing job is still open. 7/8

Bullpen Update - March 31st, 2023 Padres -196 No save chances for the dads yet, but all signs indicate that Josh Hader, the 14-million-dollar man, has the job. 🧵 1/?

Pedro Martinez on changing his grip in the middle of his delivery.

Zack Wheeler, bothered my arm fatigue, was fine in his bullpen session on Thursday and will still start in Game 6 but #Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Ranger Suarez will be available in relief, pitching Aaron Nola if there’s a Game 7.

Astros (-186, 3.0 runs) The Stros closed out the ALDS early, so their pen has plenty of rest. Perhaps too much rest. Pitchers are creatures of habit, and want to go every few days. Most of the pen pitched on Saturday. Javier hasn’t gone in a over a week. 4/4

Padres (-115, 3.5 implied runs allowed) The Padres didn’t need much from their pen last night either bc Darvish pitched 7 innings. Luis Garcia threw 8 pitches, and Nick Martinez threw 13. Their bullpen is also well-rested after getting Sunday and Monday off. 3/4

10/19 Bullpen Update Yankees (+158, 4.1 implied runs allowed) Clay Holmes threw 15 pitches, and has thrown 32 in the past three days. Loasiga threw 25. Wandy threw 16 pitches and has gone in 4 of the last 5 days. Trivino and Schmidt haven’t gone since Saturday. 🧵 1/4
