Strategy question here - if you don't score top of 10, shouldn't you always walk the first batter bottom 10 to set up forces everywhere? Because you don't care about the guy on 1st?

He is legitimately Billy Wagner upside if he walks 3 guys per 9 innings.

unfortunately, if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle. it's who he is as a pitcher. it's not like he hasnt walked guys this year either.

not if the 2nd guy up is luis arraez

fucking DLC. no plate discipline

[fish16]

im a minute behind so avi might make me look dumb. but why not pinch hit sanchez?

[Nick]

Useless.

[fish16]

get this fucking loser off the team

[fish16]

every single guy remaining on the bench would have been an option for garcia there. Sanchez hit's righties, how you do not pinch hit him?

[fish16]

lol, and of ocurse we go to devin smeltzer instead of going to floro for a 3rd straight day with an off day tomorrow. im sure this will go poorly. what is skip doing today?

[Nick]

If Floro’s not pitching here. He’s not available.

he threw 9 pitches each of the last 2 days. 9 pitches.

[fish16]

get this fucking clown off the team

It doesn't matter, he may need a break.


Smeltzer is something else. I don't get it.

[fish16]

just blew a game rather than throw floro for more than 18 pitches over the course of 3 days. so ridiculous
