Lefty again shutting us down... it's like clockwork.
Lefty again shutting us down... it's like clockwork.
Who, Junis, 32 years of age, had WHIP's of 1.29 in 2022 & 2023. His WHIP, with half the number of innings pitched than last season and only 40% of what he threw in 2022, is at 0.97 and going down after today.
There is a mutual option for next season. With his career year happening, I'm guessing he opts out of his $7M and hits FA. REDS have to pay him $3M if they opt out, so they won't.
You never know what a Reliever can get after having just one good season, even a small sample size one.

Moll give up the hardest hit ball of the game on his second pitch.
Ron Madden (09-07-2024)
Maybe that is why they have protected Moll from exposing him from facing back to back RHB as often as possible this year.
He didn't fare any better today than Wilson did last night
And that's not a knock on Moll he has been outstanding facing a L R L inning.

Mets seem to be living right during this win streak. Seeing eye singles, phantom HBPs, hard hits turning into DPs on defense.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
