Brad Johnson Baseball Chat: 9/4/2018

Here’s today’s chat transcript brought to you by the people behind the people who brought you those in-game commercials. Asses.

3:58
Brad Johnson: Hey folks, we’ll get started in a moment or two

3:59
dave in slc: any expectation for kyle wright in an nl only ros? it is a keeper league but competing this yr would you drop bud norris or jose quintana for him?

4:01
Brad Johnson: Not really. Unless I missed some bit of news that isn’t on rotowire/world, I don’t see any reason to expect to see him in the majors this year. If we do, probably a relief role.

4:02
Brad Johnson: He hasn’t exactly dominated in the minors either. He’s pitched well, but it’s not the kind of dominance required to translate into immediate MLB success. He probably struggles at first. I’d hang onto the closer and reliable vet.

4:03
Finding Nimmo: Do you buy the ReyLo turnaround (specifically increased K%)? I trotted him out against DET, should I continue to rely on him? #RelyOnReyLo

4:03
Brad Johnson: Not quite yet. His good strikeout games tend to correlate with days he throws fewer fastballs. I’m not discerning a pattern of decreased fastball usage. It’s probably truer to say that some days he has a better feel for his offspeed stuff
