This is it for Smyly. Letting him pitch the 6th was defensible though.
On what basis?

I still can’t believe Snitker didn’t have anyone warming up. He was going to let him face at least one more RHH.
On what basis?
Could have swore they said Santana was warming up.
They did
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.
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.
Name recognition is definitely the most important aspect of player evaluation.
Adam Frazier and Brian Reynolds are really good.
