Game 3 vs pirates

[GeorgiaGirl]

Way to be patient albies

He had a pitch to hit and it was probably going to be the only one in the AB, let's be real here, he just stinks right now.

Anyone find it funny that hurdle went to his true lh specialist vs markakis, but snit burned 2 phs to give hurdle what he wanted? Snit got played

I remember being told that Snitker would be good as a manager with the sabermetric crew that we had. So much for that.

Truth is this bunch is not a playoff team on the mound. Played above their heads a year ago.

Thank God that series is over. Hopefully folty figured it out today and we get Dallas

Joyce was the guy...who was then pulled back when the Pirates went to a LHP.

Culberson is likely being saved as a defensive replacement for Riley in LF.

Having a 4 man bench is rough when 1 guy is the backup catcher so can't be used, and 1 guy is Riley's defensive caddy so can't be used.

Snit's 2 PH options are Joyce and Camargo...

Having a defensive caddy seems like a silly thing.

If you need the ph then ph him.

Agreed. Saving a PHer in a close game to be a defensive sub later is about as dumb as saving your best BP arm in a close game to get a save later.

I don't now if they played above their heads, but a lot of things went right.

It is. It’s just hard to understand how MLB managers, guys getting payed incredibly well, don’t understand this. Seriously, what are the qualifications to get this job.

We need Dallas, a reliever, and a lh utility. I'd send down camargo till he at least starts hitting in AAA, bring up duvall to platoon with markakis.
