Maybe you have him go the 7th, but it's not a bad move to have him pitch in setup, and people are trashing it.

You must have become Snit's biggest fan.
Be a numbers-guy or don't be one, none of us know *hit. You guys just can't scream at everybody for not following the numbers and then give someone a pass when they don't.
Does Biddle still have reverse splits? Did AA go get Venters to get lefties out and was he rested?
Then it's indefensible. Otherwise Managers should go with their guts.

you realize his tweets were quoting rap lyrics right?
So you're saying he isn't really a "hader?"

arizona winning now too, bad night all around now
With a .234 BABIP who was bound to regress, which we just saw. When you're playing a good team you have to go with what the stats say and not with feelings.

Venters was the optimal guy.
But Biddle was not a bad choice because:
1) He has been good
2) He is rested
3) 2 of the first four guys up were righties.
Otoh 2 of the first 3 were lefties. So I preferred Venters, who is also good and rested and has conventional splits.

Haha, I am saying it seemed to me he listens to rap and quoted the lyrics of a black rapper in his tweets. They made a big deal about nothing.
Then the move was indefensible.
If you want Managers to run the games by the numbers, of course.

Yes, it wasn't a bad move. Just not the best move. If I were managing tonight, I would have probably pulled Teheran and gone with Brach in the 7th and Venters in the 8th. That's what made the most sense given how the Brewers were set up. It would not have been crazy to let Teheran come back out. But it would be sub-optimal in my view. Just like Biddle over Venters in the 8th was sub-optimal.

His face and tats screams trailer trash.
Add the teeth, complexion and he has meth-head written all over. That said, we didn't have a clue against him for six outs tonight.

I can't make my position any clearer. The optimal move imo was Venters. Biddle was sub-optimal but not indefensible. That's how I see it. There is a world out there between sub-optimal and indefensible.
Fair enough.
