GDT: Card @ Braves Return of Are See Ya

Absolutely minter shoulda faced the top of their lineup there since mchugh is unavailable

I guess it makes sense if Minter was saved for the 9th. And Smith isnt going again since he threw alot on Monday.

I don't think he's unavailable. Who should pitch the ninth in that case? Smith has been mere feet away from giving up homers to blow/lose games his last two chances. Thank God for the dead balls. The ****-up was allowing Chavez to load the bases and still be kept in to face the lefty. Pretty obvious if Matzek were feeling well enough to go back-to-back nights, he would have been out there.
 
Did A Rod just repeat the same line about the Braves and Cubs having the same record at the time of the Joc trade twice in one inning?

If you will let Chavez face the top of their lineup, why wouldn't you let him face the middle to bottom?

Who comes on if Chavez gets in trouble in that situation and the top of the order comes back around? Much easier to bring Minter into a dicey situation than Chavez or Smith.

The situation got dicey in the 8th, and no, minter didn't come in. Your point is void
 
Minter almost never gets the corners and I legitimately don’t get it. So many of these pitches are beautifully placed
