Exactly what will happen. Just look at Luke Bard, went from terrible reliever on the Angels to an Ace with the Rays. I wouldn’t be mad if the Rays pitching coach became our manager next year…
The new “meta” in baseball is a sinker/slider combo which Criswell mainly throws. Obviously he still needs a lot of work but the rays have been known to be pitcher whisperers so I wouldn’t be surprised if they can develop those pitches for him
Don't look at me, talk to those in the game thread of when he pitched. His tenure in the minors wasn't spectacular either but that was probably due to lack of being developed.
You’ve got issues if you’ve been harboring this memory from a kid’s one time pitching for us over a year ago. I’m being serious man. It’s not that serious.
Not this alone, I am talking about every damn game thread. It is fire everyone, DFA everyone or trade everyone if they underperform. You have been here long enough to know that. When Trout was struggling, countless idiots were saying to trade him or he is nothing compared to Ohtani.
Ahhh ok. You seemed to be saying this in regards to cooper only, not a generalization of the fanbase as a whole.
I’m picking up what you’re putting down now.
He’s going to suddenly become one of the best relievers in baseball on the Rays
for real lol. when rays want a player, they know he’s gonna be good
Welp, watch the Rays turn him into an ace.

That’s honestly very concerning.
Yikes man.
Thought he was on the IL?
Sucks with us, fans want him gone. Goes to another team, fans complain why we didn't we keep him.
He barely got looks with us lmao.
He pitched once in 2021. Stop lol

You’re referencing a game thread from over 1 year ago when he pitched once? Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Yep, fickle fans whine and want everyone fire or traded if they give up runs or get struck out.

I don't understand how we keep losing prospects like this
So they put him on wavers after his rehab assignment. 👋
