It doesn’t have legs if you gift games. Check out the story in the Chron that provides examples. Mick has a point but Coonrod scares me. We haven’t had a beanball fatality since Ray Chapman but it is possible.

Coonrod has walked 2 in 18 innings.  He has great stuff.  Shouldn’t give up on an arm like that.

I wasn't surprised that the Giants got rid of him.  He had a very solid 2019 (5-1, 3.58 ERA), but tanked in 2020 with a 1.63 WHIP.  Now his WHIP is .778 and he has a 1.00 ERA.  Also, Coonrod was both politically to the right and religious.  He failed to take a knee during a BLM on-field event (only player on both teams to do so) and gave a few digestible reasons for it.  Kapler supported him publicly, and I remember thinking "he's gone, that doesn't play in the SF Bay Area."
