Hector Neris returns

Smart. No idea what happened to him in Chicago - but he was very good here last year. If this staff can find that Neris again - and we have to trust their track record - this is a terrific late-season addition.

 

Now announce the return of Will the Thrill Harris.

 

Yuli next?

 

Mancini is a free agent.

 

Actually... it's time for Maldonado to come back as much as Aaron Brooks has.

 

Neris got off to an abysmal start, his command was all over the place. He's been really good the last 2 months.

2.60 ERA, and 1.66 FIP his last 18 games, we also know he can handle pressure innings, unlike a lot of our unproven (but impressive) other arms.

 

Some reason...knew he was coming back home. Who is he replacing on the roster?

 

Please don’t ever say that again

 

Probably Seth

 

Smart move even if it's just for his leadership and FIRE.


But this group can use another veteran who has performed through the wars.

I didn't want him at first, but I can't deny there are some great benefit that this team/bullpen need.

 

Honestly with how crappy most team's pen are, I'm surprise no one tried to get to Neris first. Ofc maybe he just wants to return to the Astros

 

I would rather give Whitley a chance.

 

I knew it. It just makes too much sense. Now dump Montero and call it a wash

 

This time, let's use Maldy as a pinch hitter in the late innings

 

Glad to see you've had a change of heart on this.

 

Coach him back up again!

 

Whitley's numbers since 7/1: 15.2 IP; 1.15 ERA; 32.8/4.7 K%/BB%; 2.79 FIP. Why is he still in the minors? Why go outside the org?

It's also not like Neris has been hot recently - he has a .358 xwOBA for August.
