Damn.
In a playoff game Newk wouldn’t have been facing Hoskins.
You say this with conviction... are we gonna replace snit for the playoffs?Originally Posted by Enscheff
That was a Philly HR. It's an out in Atlanta.
no...but generally you work more aggressively to get the platoon advantage in the playoffs
having said that 3 of the first 4 hitters in the inning were righties so I would have used Swarzak for those 4
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
and now we see Tomlin to face Franco who has pronounced reverse splits
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I'm having to keep up with game on At Bat app (thanks Dish), so I cant see, but app seems like we getting squeezed
Pen not helping
Ump has had a skewed strike zone all day and for both sides. By skewed, I just mean whatever he's seeing for strikes is different than the superimposed strike zone rectangle. The worst screwings IMO were reserved for Josh Donaldson but, that said, we won't lose this game because of the home plate ump.

not sure if that was the plan but Snit managed that inning in a way that MINIMIZED our platoon advantage
As I see it the root cause is having this idea that Swarzak has the 8th inning...the right sequence would have been Swarzak then Newk to face Hernandez, Franco and Hasely.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I hope front offices are much smarter than Paul Byrd. If I'm SF, I still sell because of how old they are and how bad their farm system is. You may as well get what you can for Bumgarner and try to steal what you can for your relievers.
6 here would work nicely.
Agreed...its the right move to sell. Just complicated since it's Bochy's last season. He's a legend there - would be like us selling in Bobby's last season. Def would take a pair of brass ones
Hate to even suggest it, but I think Byrd makes Francoeur look amazing in the booth. Byrd is just a younger Joe Simpson with outdated dinosaur views of baseball.

Newcomb would stay in to face Hoskins in the playoffs. You have your LOOGY's, but he's not viewed as one and you have to have guys that can get out both left and right, which he had been doing fine.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
need to extent Ender
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Sweep would have been nice. Two of three isn't bad. Time to beat up the Gnats.

Kevin’s broom was broken by the Phils. Yogi said, you can’t them all.”
Both Snitker and Acuna are optimistic about Acuna playing tomorrow.

I knew when I posted that stupid **** about the broom I was being an idiot. I apologize to all parties involved.
Overall, great weekend for us.
