Could be Schultz. It's right switch right, with 2-3-4. 2nd time facing Adley and Pete. I can see pulling him. It's just they want to rest arms.

Litell has 7 swings and misses in 5 innings

Alvarez has 6 in two innings

Incidentally, in 1959 or 1960, the Baltimore Orioles had a crew of 20 and 21 year old pitchers. Guys like Milt Pappas, Steve Barber, and a couple others. Paul Richards, Baltimore's manager, set a limit of 100 pitches for his "Baby Bulls". The rest of baseball laughed a such low limits.

Stop sending him down

I like having 4 lefties and 4 righties in the bullpen. Can probably start using Parker in some of the spots they used Poulin and use Poulin in lower leverage

In the back of my mind I don't believe his success in MLB is sustainable. But damn it sure is nice to see him get the results he's getting with every opportunity (2025-2026).

Didn't the 2005 Nats have all right handers for a good part of the season? Maybe after Joey Eischen got hurt.

Why in the world do you bring him back out?

God this is depressing.

Slateman · « **Reply #66 on:** May 15, 2026, 09:19:53 pm »

Sure would be nice to have a lefty reliever with a sub 2 ERA
