The question should be why they didn’t walk him when dude has been jacking balls all over Canada
I like John Schneider the person.. Like his press conferences, like the way he goes to bat for his players.
He's not cut out for many of these decisions. He doesn't have a good feel for pinch hitting, walking, bullpen usage.. He seems to have precious little help from those around him as well.
He also has so few weapons in the pen.. so I doubt this season gets hung on him.
He doesn't haver any idea when to pull a starting pitcher. Relievers having to pitch to 3 batters pretty much eliminates any pitching strategy. And strategy is the only reason to watch a baseball game.
Also of note - Reid Detmers is back and has 9 k through 5. I assume he really pissed someone off in LAAville to be sent to the minors for months while they trotted out Daniel Davis and even had a brief affair with Johnny Cueto.. Weird one.

Cardiac Clay Holmes is not going to cut it as Yankees closer. Wyatt Langford with the walkoff grand slam. Orioles are in 1st place.
Ben Joyce just sent Edman packing with two 86 MPH sliders and then a 105.5 fastball at the knees. Second fastest pitch ever recorded
Shame he is going to be wasted in that shit stain of an org.

If Yankees don't make World Series there is no way Boone survives, right?
If he survived missing the playoffs last year, he absolutely wouldn't get fired for that.

6 in a row for the Mets with Lindor growing his case for NL MVP!
Though 3 of the wins were a sweep of the White Sox.

Lindor's having a very nice season, but there's no way he'd win MVP over Shohei Ohtani.

There is going to be the DH argument. Lindor has been carrying the Mets for a good portion of the season. Do the Dodgers make the playoffs without Ohtani? The Mets are not close to a playoff team without Lindor.
And yes I know Ohtani may do something no one else has ever done.
Lindor is having more than just a “nice season “

The Red Sox bubble continues to burst. Houck the victim tonight on a Winker grandy.
The Sox hitters divebombing as well.

The Mets are a much better team with Lindor and the Dodgers are a much better team with Ohtani. Lindor has a 6.4 WAR and Ohtani has a 7.1 WR. Ohtani may only be a DH, but (with the exception of doubles) Ohtani's offensive numbers across the board are far superior to Lindor's.
btw, I did say Lindor was having a "very nice" season. I don't know why you'd take that as being dismissive.

Lindor actually leads Ohtani in fWAR (differing defensive metrics).
There's certainly a fair argument for either. Big round numbers will probably win the day, but that's due to narrative, rather than value.

The weekly combined no-hitter bid. What happened to the game I love?
Jansen just had an ugly outing in a ''get him some work'' situation, Mets tack on a huge insurance run.
Now 76 year old Rich Hill is in for some reason and just walked in another run. No idea why this guy is in the majors, what is the point? There isn't some guy in his prime in the Boston farm system who can do this instead?

Cubs finish it off for their first no-no at Wrigley in 52 years.
