    Yep, if Freeman puts it in play, Acuna is running on contact.

    Yeah, no, that was meant just that it should have been the world's most certain run, not to criticize each of those three players. Obv Donaldson didn't contribute to the failure.

    Removing Newk kept Martinez on the bench in a 1 run game because Shildt is “saving him”

    Snit has done a pretty good job deploying the pitchers this series.

    He's their Duvall. No reason to let him face a lefty even though we have.

    Quick, effective inning for a fresh Tomlin. Probably a dumb question, but with our now shortened bullpen, should we put him out there in the 8th?

    Hate to put this on a very used MM in the 9th.

    Allowing him to face Fried twice are really the only mistakes Snkt has made with the pitching staff (perhaps leaving DK in too long, but that’s debatable). He should be commended for deploying that half of his roster pretty damn well all series.

    Since it's the heart of the order I'd go Greene.

    Melancon can finish off leftovers.

    You forget not using Newk in several opportunities in Game 1.

    You’d like Tomlin to face goldschmidt and ozuna?

    Next inning with Greene against the heart of the order is going to be huge. Would love to add on another run.

    I'd go Greene vs their 2/3/4.

    Oh, great, it's the very sensitive Helsley. Maybe we could get him off his game if one of our batters did the Tomahawk Chop.
