If I remember correctly it was arm injuries, not stuff
He blames having to pitch every 4 days at single A ball ruining his career. I just think he doesn’t have the mental stuff to be “the guy”. God damn millennials

They were able to flip him to Philly for Ken Giles. So even though Appel was a bust he still added some value to their championship squad during the regular season.
Did you watch the playoffs? Giles nearly lost us critical games AND the chip :beli:

He was “ok” during the regular season but he was on some Brad Lidge shyt when the lights turned on in October :snoop:

He was literally the only player that got boo’d at city hall during the post parade championship celebration :heh:

He blew it in the playoffs, but he was a part of the reason that team won over 100 games. His dreadful postseason doesn’t take away from the fact he was a solid closer for most of that year.

Everyone remembers how bad he was in the playoffs, but was a solid closer. But I do love Osuna.

I wonder how short of a leash they going to have on White. Yordan has been killing it in RR.

I’m excited we’ve got great reserves waiting for the call up :blessed:

It was a good look keeping Colin and not trading him or Peacock. He should serve well eating innings in the back half of the rotation.

I rather have Brad pitching out the pen. He's better suited. Hopefully James gets his shyt together and can slide in that 5th spot. Either way they just holding it down till Whitley is ready.

That’s what I’m seeing. I would rather have Josh James as a starter as well but I think they took a look at how well Severino has held up and did a :francis:

Our 3-5 are holding it down for Forest and whoever we pickup at the deadline.
