Downtown Duvall gonna light it up tonight
Swanson will get a hit tonight. This is by far my boldest prediction since I joined the board
Baltimore with a 1-0 lead in the 4th. Still batting.
Ozzie breaks out tonight.
Dirty Chavez gives up 3 but we come back to win
Phillies get lucky and tie it
RILEY BOMB
BP game means the pitcher should never hit. Let’s see if Snit can figure it out.
DBacks stack the top of their lineup with LHH. Let’s see if Snit can figure out how to exploit those platoon matchups after Chavez.
Looks like Smyly next.
Well slap me silly and call me sally!!
Haha Tom Glavine not happy at all with Jesse in there…
“You just got to explain to why it makes more sense to start a guy who’s only going to give you 1 or 2 innings”.
Well Tom, the point of the opener is this…
1. A RHP like Chavez forces the other team to stack the lineup with LHH.
2. The opener can be Ph for early in the game, removing one more punted Pa.
3. When the bulk inning pitcher comes in, he can face the bottom of the order a third time without facing the top of the order a 3rd time, therefore allowing him to face 20+ batters rather than 18.
It is an excellent way to maximize the effectiveness of a pitcher like Smyly.
Need any more lessons on modern baseball tactics, dinosaur?
The Phillies are 1 for 12 with RISP tonight…trash ass team.
The orioles threw Harper out at home lolol 1-1 still
Sadly, Chavez is allowed to hit.
Snit just can’t navigate modern tactics.
