If you were to move a guy like Ozuna around, or we see Cruz against the lefty today batting fifth, clearly didn't impact him today.
But can that be a little bit of a mental grind for a player?
Different type of at-bats.
Kind of to veer in a little bit of a different direction just to the pitching side.
So last night, Hunter Barco, in his first outing, allowed multiple runs.
Last night allows two runs.
It ends up being a close enough game where Dennis Santana has to come into the 8th.
How difficult of a balance is it for a guy that has started his entire career, maybe has pitched in some relief outings, whether it's spring training, he's dealt with a lot of injuries in the minor leagues, to be able to adjust to pitch in a type of situation like that, 6th, 7th inning, 7th, 8th inning, when sure, you might have a large enough lead, but it's a different ramp up in preparation period, right?
Yeah.
It worked for Ashcraft.
It worked for Chandler, at least in the early goings of those sample sizes.
I just wonder, can you really, even though it works for a couple of guys, Matt, can that be the carbon copy blueprint to work for everyone?
That's where I was just a little bit surprised that they didn't have Barco start in AAA, where it seemed like it was their same theory continuing on with them.
You could keep him in as a super reliever type of player.
We're starting to see guys that are maybe they're converted starters or just I always come back to Andrew Miller.
Why?
Maybe because those Cleveland teams and that Cubs World Series against Cleveland in 16 was just so awesome.
And Miller was the type of guy that can give you one and two thirds or give you two solid innings.
And Jones, with just his frame, I worry about him in the rotation long term.
Just isn't that repeatable of a delivery.
