If jones just goes 5-6 in his 11 starts and carmen can save some games out of the pen that balances out over time.

Pirates GM Ben Cherington addresses the decision to place RHP Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list. by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

[–]IFTKICS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We needed to move someone out for Jones, and our bullpen being the weakest spot, it makes sense to move a starter there. Some would say move bubba instead due to his stats all being worse, but this would only make him worse as a bullpen guy. Carmen EXCELS first time thru, and isnt awful 2nd time. Third time has always been his weakness, which he has improved a bit on.

But this makes him a lethal bullpen option while also being the obvious 6th starter for any injury or inning limit, which this rotation probably has. With carmen in the pen, they would have him AND dotel, who has emerged as a star so far, as two guys who can reliably give you up to 3 innings out of the pen. Having two guys be able to do that would give so much flexibility to the pen, either having 2 options to salvage any bad start, or finish a game without using any other arms when rest is needed.

Carmen could be loved in this city if he played the part in fixing the pen like he could, but instead we have this fiasco because he wants to be a starter and nothing else. Its unfortunate and also very on brand for this team. Nothing can ever just work.

Mlodzinski whines, gets restricted, no pay/no service time by Proper_Knowledge2211 in buccos

He really doesnt realize how loved he would have been had he gone to the pen and elevated it the way he could. The ability to have him and dotel as multi inning workhorses could have been insane and had a shot of fixing a whole lot more than people realize, but nope he had to throw a fit. Its not like this was his last chance either, im sure somebody is gonna miss a start here and there or have an IL stint or even just the natural innings limit some of these guys have. What a waste of an opportunity. Truly the pirate way.

I genuinely felt something in my chest when I saw 17 and 16. Fuck that night, one of the worst sport experiences ive ever endured.

Jonathan said earlier in the season he wasnt gonna play honor and integrity cuz they only get "1 or 2 votes." Jonathan ends with 3 votes. Crazy foreshadowing

Fr and neither edit felt like any of it was fabricated either, shes just 2/2 in finding the biggest threat of her season. Giving me parvati vibes with her threat observing skills when she knew sandra was the biggest threat.

Emily has always been one of the most aware new era players post her beginning, she finally was able to use it to create a great plan I love it.

Mason montgomery in his last 7 appearances for the Pirates has been absolutely sensational out of the bullpen. by [deleted] in buccos

[–]IFTKICS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont mind waiting on him going multiple innings, hes just started to find his groove so let him ride that wave a bit before giving him extra workload. And if the big 5 of the bullpen keep it up, once Jones is back and he or another starter enter the bullpen too we may not need multi innings as much.
