GDT 3/27: OPENING DAY!!!!

[drewdat]

Why is our #4 starter a mop up man?

 

[buck75]

Wow, Holmes now? This team is run by morons

Today may have been Grant’s day to throw “between starts.”

We can't let him start. He needs to be in the pen and use elder as starter. This pen is gonna blow a ton of wins

 

[CJ9]

Holmes was available in the 7th?!

 

[Garmel]

None of this makes any sense.

Is Snit just throwing darts at the dartboard?

 

[dak]

I don't mind Holmes throwing his side during the game. It's kind of a "use it or lose it" situation. Given the state of things in the pen, I don't think this is the last time we'll see it.

 

[CyYoung31]

Can we find a swinging Dick Cheney for Snitker’s George Bush?

Please?

Phrasing. What I’m trying to say is hire a real manager to run things and let Snitker cheer on the team and talk to the press.

 

[Enscheff]

If Holmes was available the Neris choice is even worse. Unfortunately, this is also how dinosnit will manage in October.

Teams with weak pens will do that in the playoffs, when they're trying to win at nearly any cost. Down 3 in the 8th in game 1/162, when Holmes probably has never gone close to 180 IP in a season to begin with?

October. For who?

Maybe AA should require snit to ask AI what decisions to make s

He threw anyway down 3

 

[Enscheff]

Sale at about 80%, awful misplay by Profar, bonehead move by Dinosnit, and the Braves still brought the tie run to the plate in the 9th. This team will be just fine.

 

[Enscheff]

Look at Albies taking 2 pitches!!!

 

[Enscheff]

And then pulls a grounder to second.

 

[buck75]

Oh well

 

[CJ9]

Baldwin had some great at bats, no noticeable mistakes behind the plate and I don’t know how much blame he gets on all the stolen bases - those guys all had massive jumps.

Point well taken. He was gonna throw the pitches today anyway (probably even more than he did), but they're higher stress pitches in a game.

Maybe they've 100% decided he's going to the pen when Strider comes back/AJ will stay #5? If they want Holmes to start all year, he threw about 110 IP last year, which unless I'm missing something was his first season over 100 IP since 2017, so...

I knew we were gonna lose the second they brought Neris in. I used to love seeing him come in for the Phillies, I knew we'd be rallying. Dude's a bum. A few good spring innings don't change who a guy is.
