i had been in the wait-and-see camp with kelly but i’ve seen enough dude should not be put in any high leverage situations until he figures shit out and as good as he was in the ws against us, we have to remember... the red sox almost left him off the post rosters because of his struggles
Good point, seldom mentioned. I guess those indisputable facts and his amusing personality were just too irresistible for the FO to ignore. Understandable.
A matter of interpretation I guess but I'd hardly call pitching with a 3 run lead in the 7th inning a high leverage situation. But that's just me. Can't believe how fucked up and totally useless Kelly has proven to be so far.
no argument there in theory but with kelly, pretty much any situation is high leverage on another note, yes yimi wasn't great either but here's an idea... maybe try bringing him (or anyone else) in before it's a bases loaded/1 out situation

Despite yesterday's hiccup, I'm starting to coming around a little on Yimi. He's looked much better recently.
not all that different than how baez was when you think about it the stuff/velocity is there, just needs better control/command
Sure, you're right. Holding up the criteria for other pitchers, definitely. But with this flotsam Kelly, what he does almost immediately to a lead, is criminal. When can this jerk be used ? What kind of situation ?
