I don't remember this game at all, but this sums up pretty much all of the kangaroo's thoughts on Feliz:
nova left the game after throwing 78 pitches and six innings while down 2-0. I figured, ok, whatever, they added kela to the bullpen so the bullpen has both a lot of depth and has been good. instead of seeing kela or Santana or even richrod in the 7th, we get feliz, who proceeds to make a mockery of the situation. I thought we were trying to win games here? Why is that shtbird feliz pitching in a close game? you cant tell me this bullpen hasn't gotten rest

Problem is, he’s actually good now since they started using stick em.

Unfortunately, the whole plan was probably to use substances to make Feliz’s salary finally palatable to a real team. If only they could do this to make polanco look good

He has an option, I am not sure it requires a buy-out, but this is definitely his last year here.

Greg has two options available actually. His 2022 option is for $12.5 million ($3MM buyout) and the 2023 option is for $13.5 million ($1MM buyout). I forsee the pirates exercising both of those options imo.

Polanco’s career peaked on June 13, 2014.

It is Friday afternoon, gotta make sure everyone on 5af is on their toes and giving a good effort.

On a related note, right now Polanco has career WAR of 4.8. Pretty good chance he ends up with fewer WAR than travis snider (4.4 WAR) based on Polanco's WAR "trajectory."

Dude gotta protect that arm. It’ll completely fall off at 60 pitches.

Why it’s smart to sell to teams with deep farm systems and not demand they include their top prospect.

I think unfortunately the pads system was already gutted by the time they dealt musgrove. Also, that tact could have landed a haul from the dodgers for Vazquez pre-pedophilia arrest

A runner on second is monumentally dumb.

The Pirates have struck out 17 times tonight.

Epically bad.

Fantastic box score for the pirate lineup today. Joe block said something about 1-10 with 8 strikeouts at one point with RISP. Amazing. There are two adults and a bunch of amateurs in this friggin lineup.
