Is it a bullpen/Ynoa game?

Nothing definite but they've hinted strongly that it's a BP game.

He also has more RBI than the entire Brewers team so far

I’d start Minter since Wong will always lead off, let him get through 3-5 hitters (depending on where they bat Yelich), then go to Ynoa for 18-20 batters. Maybe use Chavez to finish an inning if needed so Ynoa starts an inning fresh.

If they stack the lineup in anticipation of Ynoa being the bulk guy, call an audible and let Smyly be the bulk guy.

Ian with a 1.37 FIP in todays game. Impressive

 

[Enscheff]

Knowing Fried can go game 5 on full rest, Morton should be available as well in game 4 for an inning or so too.

 

[Enscheff]

Well, we knew Escobar was going to get a swing vs a LHP at some point. Having it come with the bases empty and up by 3 runs is the best place for it to happen.

horrible defense there

 

[nsacpi]

Fastball down the middle on a 1-2 pitch.

 

[Enscheff]

Rosario with an oopsie

 

[USMA76]

Does Rosario's. LF "defense" keep him off the team next year? (I have no idea of his contract status, etc. but I have seen him absolutely butcher what appeared to be two routine plays in the last 10 days.)

 

[Enscheff]

Counsell has now completely unwound his LHH stacked lineup against Matzek.

He could do that because he knows Snit is a dinosaur who will predictably go Luke in the 8th and Smith in the 9th.

He's a free agent. I assume he wants to start somewhere but I would look at him as a 4th OF. Braves have a lot of decision to make on how they want to construct the OF. There's not one player that's a sure thing for opening day.

Frenchy just made this exact comment.

Even he understands what’s going on, but snit is clueless. He’s been out managed today, but Joc and Ian took care or everything.

Maztek has been incredible

 

[Garmel]

Hell yeah.

AA for Executive of the Year. He brought on enough talent to make things Snit proof.
