OT: MLB Thread XLVI

[RickChartraw]

Needed that !

 

[LeetchisGod]

Gleyber Day!

 

[17futurecap]

Lets go!!!!

 

[RGY]

Its about f***ing time Gleyber!!!

Gardner starts that

 

[darko]

Gleyber.

On 1st pitch.

 

[RickChartraw]

Jeez, how far that go? 450?

 

[RGY]

Gleyber.

On 1st pitch.

And Gleyber is a better hitter than Hicks with better bat control. So theres that. No need to try and spin the BS that Hicks provided.

I would also argue the situation is different. Gardner just worked Yarborough in the previous AB. Yarborough was throwing pitches in the zone. Context.

 

[darko]

Jeez, how far that go? 450?

Doubt it was over 400. It's only 330 - 340 odd down the line.

Just find it ironic is all.

 

[RGY]

Just find it ironic is all.

I mean sure you do. I know you want to try and push that to come at me, but as I edited my post to add, context of the situations is everything for the on deck batter’s plan based on the previous AB.

 

[RGY]

Do you go to one of the other arms here to save Britton for the 8th with an expanded 3 run lead?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Great job by the pen so far.

 

[RGY]

Well question now becomes, does Britton come out to start the 8th?

Would be nice to get 2 more runs here and use one of the arms to see if we can spare Britton’s arm.

Chapman would still pitch the 9th regardless, needs the work.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Judge is lost.

 

[RGY]

Judge is lost.

Yeahp. Doesnt look comfortable at all. Doesnt look confident in his swing. Looks uncertain.

If they do win this game, I dont know if you can keep him in the 2 spot.

 

[darko]

Just missed tying Daniel Murphy's record

 

[LeetchisGod]

Really impressed with the Rays ability to find bullpen arms from nowhere.

 

[RGY]

Just let Britton finish the damn inning. He is dealing.

Also, I dont know if anyone noticed Britton barking at Higgy not to throw the ball around. He looked pissed. Pitchers are creatures of habit but thats an odd one.

 

[ThirdEye]

Odd decision

 

[RGY]

FFS this is what I was afraid. Chapman not throwing for awhile. Coming in with no control.

 

[darko]

Odd decision

Classic "Im the smartest guy in the room" move.

There was no reason to go to Chapman right now.

 

[darko]

Got him!

 

[LeetchisGod]

Gas.

 

[RGY]

Just glad he got it under control with the next guy who has been dangerous with the bat. Would have rather him started a fresh inning against that guy with no one on base. Certainly will take it and can breathe a sigh of relief

Odd decision
