Happy Mike Stanton Day: Marlins @ Phillies

Going to let Tank face a righty?

[kylekash]

well IBanez on deck, maybe try and get him to swing at perfect pitches not give anything great to hit.

nevermind...

[Beef]

well there goes that

[Miamarlin21]

Ugh. Tank is so good against lefties, just not righties

[wanks1212]

WHY THE FUCK IS TANK PITCHING AGAINST RIGHTIES

[Flum]

Tank'd

[MiamiHomer]

I'm going off the top of my head but I think Ben Francisco kills lefties.

WHY THE FUCK IS TANK PITCHING AGAINST RIGHTIES

I know, but who else is there? Buente? The pen is garbage.

We cant have Leo doing 2 inning saves every game.

.263 vs. LHP; .208 vs. RHP

[kylekash]

Ibanez got a hit anyway... don't matter

[Bobbob1313]

Career?

[wanks1212]

I'm going off the top of my head but I think Ben Francisco kills lefties.

in 2010, he's .702 ops vs. lefties, .519 vs. righties

over his career his splits only have a .006 difference in ops

[Bobbob1313]

So it's not "letting him pitch to Brandon Phillips with runners on" dumb.

Swift is gonna be Mba-pissed that the bullpen lost Stanton's game.

I know, but who else is there? Buente? The pen is garbage.

We cant have Leo doing 2 inning saves every game.

So have him do the 2 inning save tonight. Worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.

I mean, yes, Buente sucks, but even Buente would be better than Tank facing a righty. I guess they have to save Buente as their long relief guy in case this goes extras. But if that's the case, then fuck it, throw Nunez for 2 innings tonight and figure out some shit for tomorrow.

Tank versus righties is one of the primary reasons his prior stints in the bullpen have sucked. Dude's a LOOGY, and that's all. Use him as such, or don't use him at all.
