Padres deliver fire and brimstone sermon to dissolute Mariners GT

[D-train]

Never understood why teams don't do more of this (I suppose it's because they don't generally have this luxury)...

But why not have Miller/Woo throw 4 to 5 innings and then Hancock switches off "starting" the end of the game and he goes 5 to 8 or 9?

Because lately they only want about 17 relievers that can only throw 1 inning.

I say shut him down for the year if it's anything remotely serious. He's at about 100 innings pitched, doubled from last year.

Woo has some nice things going for him but a 2-pitch arsenal is getting him killed against lefties. If he's not traded and once healthy, get him developing a change so he can get lefties out.

I'm excited for Hancock. He's got a much more complete repertoire than Woo, and possibly Miller.

Yeah, I'm sure it's as minor as minor gets. Just a way to stash him and control his workload while bringing up another capable starter.

Yup, I'm with Seattle or Bust. Hancock is the guy of the three who started at AA Ark this year that I think is the most developed pitcher. Can't wait to see him pitching in the big leagues with our defense, better umpires, better fields, etc. because man, his stuff plays.

Lost in all this is the M's DFA'd Matt Festa.

Amazing that in an org that turns anyone with a slider into a high leverage arm... Festa, the once golden child, has crashed and burned.

Not going to make it very far with a 91-93 MPH fastball if you struggle with command.

He had a 0.53 in AAA. 0.79 WHIP

The he comes up here and has 13 K's to 12 walks.

Pressure must be too big in the big league stadiums.

But his walk and strikeouts rates were extremely subpar.

He went on the IL 4 days ago so they kicked him to the curb....
