I'll actually go to bat for Montoyo here, he faced the 2-3-4 part of the Red Sox lineup in the 7th.

Sorry, not in this game in particular but with everyone hurt, Chatwood should be the closer.

 

[MS]

Honestly would have walked J.D. You have the base open

How did they not do this?

 

[hoc123]

How did they not do this?

Is there that big a difference between Martinez and Bogaerts?

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Dolis is always painful to watch but when he stinks like tonight you want to pull your hair out.

 

[Blitzkrug]

How did they not do this?

I'm not sure. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

Martinez has been absolutely raking all season, hit a homer last night and is a guy you cannot afford to make a mistake with. Why you'd have Dolis of all guys pitch to him is a mystery.

 

[lebdafor norris]

"Awful body language"
"Lazy"
"You can run on Dolis all day, it takes him a week and a half to throw to homeplate"

Even the Red Sox broadcasters are getting frustrated at Dolis.

 

[The Nemesis]

Man. Dolis as a pitcher is fine, but he is so clearly my least favourite Jay.

Either blow it or don't. Just f***ing pitch already.

Edit: I didn't actually mean blow it. Zzzzzz

This is all your fault.

You saw it, everyone. This is all Morgs' fault. Get your pitchforks and torches.

Counterpoint: One of the Sox' broadcasters is Dennis Eckersley and who gives a f*** what he thinks?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Dolis was perfectly fine in his role as a low leverage guy.

Putting him out in close games late as we seen last season, almost never ended well

 

[The Nemesis]

Everything sucks right now

Blame Morgs. This is clearly all his fault.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Tony La Russa probably does.

David Prices definitely cares.

 

[Morgs]

This is all your fault.

He bored me into blowing the game for us. Typical Dolis.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Biggio, buddy. We're gonna need you to stop striking out

The shocking truth:


2020 Dolis (24 IP)
Low Leverage spots (6.2 IP): 16.2 k/9, 9.45 bb/9, .240 avg, 1.95 WHIP, 4.69 FIP, 3.32 xFIP

Medium Levearge spots (7.2 IP): 12.91 k/9, 1.17 bb/9, .143 avg, 0.65 WHIP, 0.71 FIP, 2.22 xFIP

High Leverage spots (9.2 IP): 7.45 k/9, 5.59 bb/9, .200 avg, 1.24 WHIP, 3.71 FIP, 5.90 xFIP

He's actually been marginally better in medium/high leverage spots than low leverage ones except for the weird evaporation of his strikeouts.

Standard "super small sample size" disclaimer applies though.

 

[The Nemesis]

Now would be a really good time for some rowdiness to commence.

 

[The Nemesis]

Biggio, buddy. We're gonna need you to stop striking out

Teoscar has stopped striking out, so Biggio's picking up the slack.

 

[The Nemesis]

He bored me into blowing the game for us. Typical Dolis.

Whenever I might be tempted to be frustrated by a Jays reliever I always think to myself: At least it's not Kevin Gregg.

Huh. Maybe it felt like it never ended well since he wanted to make me **** myself when he was on the mound in tighter situations

 

[The Nemesis]

Save us Danny Jackson.

 

[Blitzkrug]

"Man don't screw this up Rowdy. Just get on base"

8. Jansen

"Wait no come back"

 

[The Nemesis]

I was surprised too. Obviously it means f***-all since it's less than 10 innings in any given situation, but it's definitely counterintuitive.

8. Jansen

Jansen has actually been good in May. 110 wRC+

EDIT: I jinxed it.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I blame Morgs.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Damn
