I guess Alcantara and Eovaldi have similarities in lack of K’s but I actually think Alcantara has better stuff. Most notably, Alcantara’s changeup is pretty good. He just has to throw strikes more consistently. He’s had about 3 games this year where he comes in firing strikes, and he’s proven he’s capable of going the distance. With more time, I think he’ll be fine. Before the first run he gave up last night, he struck out Kolten Wong on one of the nastiest pitches I’ve seen this year.

yamamoto is a super weird callup right now, but if i had to venture a guess, they dont trust any of the relievers in AAA, Ferrell isnt ready yet, and maybe just want to give yamamoto a taste out of the bullpen for a few weeks? Ferrell is re-starting his rehab in jupiter i believe tonight, so maybe this is just until he comes up.
Who are some of the AAA relievers we just by passed to call him up? Jarlin is already up here right? Is noesi on the 40 man? My guess is they just dont like any of the AAA relievers and yamamoto is already on the 40, so they didnt want to have to DFA anyone when they know ferrell is coming up shortly.

Actually, given that it says he will be called up tomorrow, this is a spot bullpen duty for a few days. elieser starts tonight, then gets sent down for yamamoto afterwards so we have an extra bullpen arm for a few days, then smith is supposedly going to be ready for the next start. Now that i think that out, if it is the case that yamamoto is coming up AFTER tonight's game where Elieser starts, he is just here for an extra bullpen arm before we reactivate Smith before his next start.

So I think this means:
-Gallen wasn't on normal scheduling patterns to pitch today, so Hernandez gets the nod
-Elisier down tomorrow and stays on normal rest, Yamamoto is a longman/mop up until as an extra arm. I mean the alternatives are Keller, Kinley, and Ferrell, and Yamamoto is closer than Guzman and Holloway. Noesi not on 40. They should keep him stretched out in case they need him.
-Gallen gets the next start when Caleb's start is back and Yamamoto/whoever is sent down/DFA'd. This also hedges a few more days on Super2 status if they aren't as cocky as the Astros are w/ Alvarez
Gallen is coming

Eovaldi averages 2.5 WAR for his career exactly over 180/IP. We all take that in a heartbeat with Sandy right?
Sandy is currently pacing 2.1 this season over 180 IP BTW. If we're thinking he is their 4th/5th best longterm SP option after Sixto, Caleb, Pablo, and possibly Gallen, I think we take that in a heartbeat and this pitching staff may make us all real happy in 2021.
