People wanted Miz out after the first batter and look what happened…

Murph and staff know things.

His defense is too valuable to take out in a game like this

I’d rather be up 4-1 with Mona than have Joey’s defense up 2-1.

Vaughn has been... really solid defensively.

Not terrible offensively either since the trade. 

One of my new hobbies is trolling White Sox fans who told us he would revert back to White Sox form.

Wow!

Miz grew up tonight

Yes... he did. 

 

I was... a bit nervous when he came in, but he and Vaughn have been the MVPs of this series... through 4 games and 4 1/2 innings of Gm5. 

Now put some runs on the ***** board and make that stand up!

[treego14]

Miz has grown up!

Wasting Bauers here when he could be needed later in the game is interesting 

Needed for what? There is literally no bigger opportunity than coming up with the bases loaded.

Sure but the odds weren't great it would have been 4-1 even with bauers

There's no guarantee we'd be up 4-1 though. The odds are not that much higher, in terms of numbers.

We're acting like Bauers is 2009 Albert Pujols. I'd rather have 4-1 than 2-1 with Ortiz' defense, but... Ortiz put a good swing on it and now we have the top of the order up.

Isnt Bauers the same guy everyone wanted off the team in August?

[narwhalattack]

As soon as I saw Ortiz walk up to the plate, I knew we weren’t scoring. Chances are he’s gonna be our starting SS again next season, because you can’t have Wisconsin sports without sunk cost fallacy.

I mean... maybe a couple!

 

But he has been pretty damn solid. 

[RobertCrawley]

Jack Jack is battling.

[kevinisaname]

Leadoff walk! Let's get that man in!

No worries. If Murph had pinched hit Bauers there and he struck out, the narrative would be how bad Murphy is...

As good as a hit! Let's go!!!

Chourio growing up with patience at the plate!

Miz probably the MVP for this series.

I MIGHT have just fixed this for you...

[Beer n Cheetos]

Now is a good time for Brice to break out of the slump!

[RobertCrawley]

Facing a right handed pitcher. It's Turang's moment.

[HarryDoyle]

Maybe Turang should be pinch hit for.

[CheezWizHed]

Let's go Willy.  We need some more! 

[titletownking]

Turang and Ortiz have been brutal. Absolutely brutal.

I wonder how often Miz shakes off Wild Bill to get to the fastball. Batter will know these things.

It’s not just purely pitch type, but location too. So it isn’t quite that simple.
