This whole team just grounds into DPs Dude is coming off a serious injury and has been grimacing this game. I know all the backseat managers know best here, but that is probably why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 3-0 count. Even if you get it to 3-1 it's still a fastball count. I don't know why you'd even take the risk. It's pretty much a lose-lose situation.

mmmmmbeeer Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Don't blame LaRussa. I'm sure Robert has a standing green light. Blame Jose for absolutely abysmal execution (again). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I know the pitch count is low, but Toronto has 11 batted balls over 95 MPH tonight. That is a ton. I wouldn't have brought Lance out for the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 That ball had a .100 xBA. I know Robert was shaded to right, but he's gotta take charge there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Vaughn's inexperience and lack of range really showed there. Eloy probably catches that, but he might also bump into Robert and get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 We're fine, if we need a pinch hitter late, we have some pretty great options, in Zack Collins and Jake Lamb. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take Vaughn's inexperience and letting it drop over Eloy's experience, an increased likelihood of the catch, but a collision any day of the week.

EloyJenkins Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Welp. What should be another Lynn win is in jeopardy due to bad offense and a dumb decision. I hope they win this game...but this dude is just getting hosed every start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Lynn is the betting favorite to win CY, and he has a long-term contract. Not trying to be harsh, but what difference does it make if he gets the win or one of the Sox relievers? Everyone understands how well he's been pitching.
