Maybe we are showcasing Wade Davis too?

Fact of the matter is, Flanny said on July 5th that his people inside the Royals org predicted that multiple bullpen arms would end up on the DL due to Matheny's overuse after the ASB. Since that tweet, 3 arms have ended up on the DL as predicted. The "chase every win" approach dramatically alters how Matheny uses his pen compared to an average manager, this shouldn't be surprising to anyone paying attention. |

Guys don't get injure their arms by pitching 2-3 innings a week...unless there is some other underlying matter. Their daily throwing routines are more strenuous than pitching 1 inning. I'm pretty ambivalent about Matheny in general, but I don't see how you can call this "overuse." You can't have a bullpen full of guys who can only pitch 1 inning a week. |

Bullpen abuse isn’t just about raw appearances (though that’s a big factor). It’s also about getting guys “up” and ready multiple times a game.
That was an area where Yost shined. He leaned on his key guys, but he also used them predictably and NEVER would get a guy hot multiple times a game. Matheny has done that/will do that. No way to track it, but if you watch each game or even most games and pay attention, you’ll see how often Zimmer or Brentz or Staumont or Barlow is “up.” |

Royals were 5th in bullpen IP in 2015

Zero reason this should be the case in a lost season like this. |
Why is Petro literally harping this idea that the Royals need to trade MJ Melendez and pitching prospects for a CF, I've caught him doing this 3 times now.
Constantly trading Melendez is on his mind. |

Davis was 15th Madson was 19th Morales was 23rd And keep in mind that more appearances doesn't necessarily mean more innings, and only a few appearances makes a big difference in the rankings. Basically, if you're reasonably effective for an inning at a time and not injured, you're going to end up in or near the top 20. |

Where are you seeing those ranks? This one shows Herrera 22nd and he’s the highest on the list. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.as...=6,d&page=1_50 Quote:
Petro is weird about baseball. In football, he’s all about hoarding picks and freaks out about it. In baseball, he’s all about trading prospects for marginal returns. Trading from the Royals’ system depth for an established CF is not a bad idea. Trading MJ Melendez js very much a bad idea unless the return is ridiculous. This IS the man who was pounding the table to trade Wil Myers for Jair Jurrjens in 2012, after all. |

If he had not tried to score on that play earlier in the game, he might not have pulled up lame the next time. |
