I remember that time Yelich hit a homer. -
Keeping him in gets you, at best a chance to remain in a 50-50 game after 5. What's the win probability after the next guy in immediately gives up a 3 run bomb? Can't believe there's a single person defending that move. I really can't. The Braves were not into the 5th inning. The 5th. You're being results oriented. The decision to PH for Peralta is certainly debatable, but you judge it by the probabilities/expectations at the time, not by what actually happened. There are perfectly valid arguments for keeping him in and pulling him.
-
I think you need to turn off the TV and get some fresh air.
-
I mean, if Peralta hits there, that's an automatic out. Now you still need a hit from Wong. In the meantime, you can run Houser out there, who has the ability to shut teams down, for six innings if you have to. The calculus is simply what's more important: runs now or preventing runs later? IMO, it's runs now, since you have other pitchers who can prevent runs later. Sometimes decisions don't work out.
-
I'm fine with the move. The offense has been terrible and even one run could win it. You have Houser who can pitch the rest of the game if need be. Just didn't work out.
-
It does feel a little iffy, but I suppose the rule helps take away a little subjectivity about when or how a player lost the ball.
-
I'm looking at the rulebook, and I don't think so: It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball.

Avi has that Keon Broxton hole in his bat.
-
Let's switch the discussion from Yelich to Avi.
-
They are dumb. The announcer just referred to that screaming liner as 60mph off the bat to describe it being hard hit. Does he not know how hard balls come off the bat? 60mph would be really dang slow. That's not what he said. He was making a comment that baseball is funny sometimes in that Swanson can hit a screaming liner for an out, yet Riley hit a 60mph 10-hopper for an base hit.
-
Not a whole lot to see, really, so don't feel bad. Yelich caught the fly ball, gunned the runner tagging from first to second (he was out by a mile, not particularly dramatic). Runner from third tagged and would have scored easily, but the out at second looked like it may have happened just before the runner scored.
-
omg if that run doesn't count
-
Whoa, off the bat, I thought Albies crushed it, but then he looked dejected, so I, in turn, was not dejected.
-
I don't get "mad" at players unless they are awful people or aren't trying. I feel bad for Yelich - something is clearly wrong and I'm sure nobody feels worse about his performance than he does. It's like fans getting all pissed off at Crosby yesterday. You think he's happy about missing a bunch of kicks?
-
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. He's basically hitting like every high school batter I faced.
-
At least we got a hit?
-
Eh, he's just being a goof. It's fine.
-
lol Orlando tried to spook Urias
-
"Just got out of a major jam." Two outs, one runner in scoring position, up by three. Yes, MAJOR jam.
-
As much as we all know he probably should be on the bench, there is no way that Yelich doesn't play every inning of every game in the playoffs barring injury or a blowout. I would be absolutely floored if it happened. And you know what? I would bet that Stearns and Counsell have talked about it. They're not dumb. At the same time, though (and I have a feeling this does go into the decision), benching the MVP from just three years ago and runner-up from two years ago might generate media chatter that the team just doesn't want to deal with right now.
-
Man, I had a feeling Hader would be overamped and walk the leadoff guy.
-
Oh man, for a second I thought there was a guy on base. This is the happiest I've felt after an opponent homer.
-
On TV, for some reason I didn't think it was gone off the bat, but I saw Rowdy's reaction and smiled.
