GDT 5-20 time for Smyly to eat some Crowe!

Bae is officially off the "doodoo" list, for now.

Back to Scheff's criteria of 200 PAs before drawing any conclusions, I believe Dansby is now in the 175 range.
 
He had the platoon advantage vs Polanco, and another hitter was a switch hitter, so it’s not like a RHP would have better platoon matchups. I think it was a toss up decision.

I guess my thinking is that Smyly is the type of pitcher that when things start to go bad quickly due to his HR rate and considering where he was in the game.

Btw I’ve been meaning to ask you something. We talk a lot about optimal decisions on the board. Is there something in there that includes new data collection?
 
Loved his ABs tonight and yesterday, and I’m realistic about Swanson after 2200 MLB PAs. He can look balls awful for a week at a time, and he can look like this for short stretches, and it all boils down to a decent hitter who you think should be better.
 
Outside of Polanco, I have literally never heard of any of these guys in the Pirates lineup....”lol

We should be beating the life out of them.
 
Contreras is pretty decent at the hitting part of his job; the catching part is a work in progress.

Edit: and it costs us a run.
 
I don’t understand this team. This is an awful, awful lineup. Just pitch. Play good defense. Don’t screw around.
