GDT Game 3 : THE RELENTLESS

Mike Schildt has been worse than Snit. Snit has been bad but the Cards have been making confounding move after confounding move all series long.

Shildt’s mistakes have all been leaving the SP in too long.

Snits mistakes have been of almost every variety.
 
At bat has Dakota Hudson starting for cards. Has this been announced?

It was assumed he was going G4 after Waino went G3, Braves havent announced a SP yet though. I'd assume some kind of opener.
 
So going Hechy vs righty rather than Ortega did confuse me a bit.

I know Hechy has been playing well with bat and Ortega is bad, but why do you have him on roster?

Yeah, no back up to SS after using Hech. Hech and one of Flowers/Cervelli should be the last 2 bench players used everyday. But I guess the plan was for Hech to take over 3b after Hamilton pitch ran for JD.

That’s being generous to Schildt. (And honestly, I’m being generous to say Snit has only been awful. He’s had a miserable series). Leaving the starter in too long cost him twice this series (Duvall homerun; loading the bases for Freeman). IBB the winning run in the 9th is suboptimal.

Definitely not a matchup of geniuses that’s for sure.

Walking McCann to get to Dansby was clearly a mistake by Shildt. Both have nearly identical slash lines vs. RHP this season (SSS, but I don't feel like using carrer stats for players at opposite ends of their careers), and it put the winning run on base. What's more, McCann has been miserable for months, and his bat is now almost as slow as his feet.

Still, it's hard to appreciate how bad Snit's moves were to get us to a situation where we had the season riding on Hech and his .622 career OPS against RHP. Unfortunately, the move will not be questioned amidst all the glee, and the narrative will be how Snit "...pulled all the right strings". Let's see how long his players can keep bailing him out.
 
So who gets the ball today?

Has to be DK. If any Braves pitcher is likely to be good on short rest, it’s DK after throwing 74 pitches.

I expect to see him given a short leash and will not face Goldy a 2nd time of the leverage is anything higher than “very low”.

Snit has actually done a pretty good job managing the pitchers this series, so I’m comfortable letting him handle DK on short rest.

I believe this is a no brainer. Some chatter about Julio, but I can't see going from left off the NLDS roster to game 4 starter, at all.

Would you use Julio any today?
 
DK 3 innings
Julion 3 innings
Bullpen

Although I'd be open to letting DK go longer if he is pitching well. I would not use Fried today. Would be his fourth game in five days. He's just not conditioned for that. And his struggles yesterday indicated as much.

Which means we'll see him warming up for sure.
