Maldy is worthless with the bat… two runners in scoring position? Pinch hit there… Pivetta has gone two with a lower pitch count than Greinke in one inning.
You want to start Maldy... fine. But with 2 outs and runners on you put in Castro. Don't care what inning it is.
Put in Castro. Jesus. The difference in calls and leadership can’t possibly make up for the difference in their hitting.
This is why i was rooting for a maldonaldo injury last game @DreamShook There was never any doubt in my mind that he would continue to ruin our rallies. Dusty does not deserve to win this series considering he stubbornly sticks by this dude.
You can accept a star player in the regular season going off come october. A .250 BA .750 OPS hitter doubling both stats is beyond David Freeze levels of infuriating.
It’s getting to the point where you have to pinch hit in that situation. You just can’t waste scoring opportunities anymore.
Their bats are on fire... Nothing a 80 mph fast ball can do about it.... 1st stage of grief kicking in ....
