GDT 3/28/26: Braves vs Royals - Lopez Officially Back

Since I didn’t watch or follow the game yesterday,I will just ask. How was WW managing yesterday. I saw he let Lopez go out for one batter to give up a homer then remove him which seems very twit like. But overall how was it. Also noticed all the lefties still in the lineup in the 9th. Did KC ever deploy a lhp?

I liked the pinch runner for Olson move so there was that that I saw.

Pitch count was low, with 70ish pitches coming into the 7th. Lopez wasn't exactly dominant despite no runs, but he was definitely cruising coming into the 7th. No reason to take him out at that time, but it was important to have someone ready. Snit would have absolutely left him in the game after the homer and not had anyone even warming up before the homer. That we already had a reliever warmed up is a revelation.

He let yaz face a lhp in the 7th that I hated, but yaz got a key hit in the 9th vs a rhp, so maybe I'm the dummy

Considering he had Lee ready, I believe his plan was to let Lopez face Perez and then bring in Lee to face the LHH coming up all along. At least, I hope that was the case.
 
Even the announcers were talking about Lopez and Striders velo in ST then Wainwright said he use to have outings where he worked on stuff and it freaked people out.

The individual decisions were fine in the context of it being the beginning of the season and we play 13 straight. The most twit like trend is burning high leverage guys (up 6 runs) and using low leverage guys (down 1). Dylan Lee might pitch 100 games this year.
