If you pull him after 5, who comes up in the 6th? Neris? Brown? Garcia?
After JV is done (hopefully after two more scoreless innings), Vasquez needs to come in for Maldy.
My goal heading into tonight was just 5 innings with 1 earned run from JV. If he can get through the 5th, he accomplishes that, and he'll have...
If he gets through the hardest part of the order and gives up one solo shot and that's it, they'd be idiotic to just pull him after one.
That's about as dominant a relief appearance against a team's 3-4-5 hitters as you'll ever see. It's crazy how good Abreu has become this season;...
If this thing goes to 7, any chance they go to Javier on short rest instead of McCullers? Don't they at least have to consider it with as dominant...
Those two calls against Chas were so ****ing awful and at the worst possible time in the game. If those are balls, the bases are loaded and the...
The rainout was a bummer, but for anyone else with kids, was it kind of a relief for you? My son's 3 1/2, and I always go trick or treating with...
I understand the reasoning, and I think you're overestimating how beneficial it is to the bullpen long-term in this circumstance. Framber wasn't...
I'm not saying every move a manager makes that the sole outcome is based on luck. I'm rarely that critical of baseball managers, period, because...
Would you be saying the same thing if either of Schwarber's not-homers had been five feet in the wrong direction or if Harper comes up big with...
At least it's the 5-6-7 hitters and not the top of the lineup.
Unbelievable start by Framber. It'd be a shame if he gets an earned run on his outing; that's on Dusty. Hopefully Neris can keep that dude at third.
Don't wait for Wheeler to get to his pitch limit. Knock this dude out.
Pitch count for Framber is looking better. He could get through six and face the top of the order again. If he pulls that off without giving up...
I'm less worried about pitch count tonight than I normally would be. I'd rather Framber give us five shakey, scoreless innings with 100 pitches...
Wtf is this ****? This should be an automatic ban.
Got through the scariest part of the order once with no hits or runs. Test 1 passed! Now go score runs!
I just hope someone told Framber tonight that, no matter the circumstance, if a ground ball is hit to him, just chill out, turn around and calmly...
That's it. Mancini is done. Baker would be certifiably insane to put him back in the plate in the World Series. Put in ANYONE else. ****, put in...
