JP Sears

Think about it this way, Rafy.

If you go back to pitching chaos, you've replaced JP Sears with Robbie Ray, which seems like an improvement, right? And you've replaced Hermán Márquez with Casey Mize.

And you could imagine Casey Mize coming in and getting a five-inning save like Márquez did during pitching chaos.

Because that's the thing, when you have these multi-inning relievers, and, and Vázquez is one of those guys too, a guy that could just lock in and, and, and finish.

I can, I can look that up.

'Cause I'm thinking about Springs, JP Sears.

I mean, looking back, we're bringing guys here to this ballpark that are fly ball guys.

Savalli.

Savalli's this year, but how about Savalli even last year?

Yeah, JP Sears was an extreme fly ball pitcher.

And that their strategy kind of caught up.

The, the, this, the, this, the strategy that they had all those years in Oakland that worked for them, it's not gonna work here.

These guys have not been an improvement over the players they replaced.

JP Sears in Pitching Chaos was better than Casey Mize.

It's just a fact.

Canning sucked, but he was better than Casey Mize.

Excuse me, July and August.

You had pitching performances by J.P. Sears was very good during that stretch.

Joey Estes was okay.

Mitch Spence grinded.

It's unbelievable.

I remember how mad you got at me a couple years ago when I said that about we should do that with J.P. Sears.

J.P. Sears needs to be shut down.

Why? And then he didn't pitch and actually did pitch well the rest of the way.

It's unbelievable.

And, and, and there's names, there's names on the pitching side to bring up at least for a couple of games next week.

You know, I mean, you can talk about JP Sears.

You can talk about Alec Jacob.

You can talk about Johnny Brito.
