Silver lining there is a fresh restart with the top of the order.
I've accepted that everything makes me nervous, but I do wonder how long Ashby can keep putting up donuts.
Box score will do such a disservice to Chourio 20 years from now. The clinch catch won't show up there nor will the magnitude of the few hits or the long, exhausting ABs where he just made tiring outs.
I wouldn't shed a tear if they sat Yelich but the nonstop dragging every time he makes an out is kinda tiring. Chourio is at .601. I don't know the reason Yelich is playing. I am guessing they value his eye/approach at the plate. I can't believe it's simply "he's the captain." I have to believe they have something that makes them confident he's the right choice. I haven't really felt like he's been a negative at all this postseason.
He's been making contact outs when he doesn't get on base. My thought is they have him after Chourio and Bauers and before Contreras for the obvious reasons.
I am not sure I agree on Yelich. Even if just dumb luck, he has been pretty much solid these 10 games. He hasn't hurt them really, and has come up pretty big a couple of times.
Just a random vent but it drives me nuts when the order gets out of whack like this. We had Chourio and Contreras come up with 2 outs and nobody on in separate innings.
4 runs wasn't ideal but I'd have been happy if you told me Rasmussen was at 48 after 2. Great meaningless AB from Chourio. Just gotta chase him in 5 or so.
Disagree. Henderson really needed an assist there and don't want him reeling and down 3-1. I get why he challenged that one. I don't think he would have if Henderson isn't struggling a ton.
