What is your point? Jennings is better than Hader now? You would have left Soria in who was missing the strike zone by a foot? The leverage index was 7.79, that is about a high as possible, the correct move in that situation is to go with your best guy. CC did not do that, which was his only job. Understand the situation, make the move that gives you the best chance to win. -
Hey, don't question the manager of the year
-
CC needs to be more flexible with Hader, he is an all-star we need to use him more. Yes typically Hader pitches several innings at a time, but right there using him for a LOOGY should have been an option even if "he needs more rest". He can face 1 hitter on 2 days rest.

Leverage index was 7.79. I'd say that is the time to use the best reliever on the team.
-
Hader could get 4 outs. If Jennings gets through this who is the "closer", Barnes?
-
Lyles in a 1 run game? How about Hader who has 55 pitches thrown in the last week
-
If Harper Ks he will get tossed
-
Sounds like a high school game out there
-
Sounds like the tarp is being rolled up
-
Based on Rendon's effort after his error I would say the Nats have forfeited.
-
We need him, a little light on 3B depth

1 season clutch stats are worthless because the sample is too small. For his career Shaw has a 134 tOPS+ in high leverage situations. He has been about as clutch as a player can be. Even that is only 387 PA though so might not be meaningful, but his actual stats in those situations do not support not being clutch. They're hardly worthless. Let me reshape the comment. Travis Shaw has not been clutch in 2018. Better? He's had 75 PA's when his team was in a late & close situation, and has hit .216. He's had 172 PAs when his team has been behind, and has hit .203. I don't care what he did two years ago when he was playing in a different city. Two years ago, Ryan Braun hit .300 + with 30 HR. Is that who he is now? No, of course not. Shaw, in 2018, has regressed. When we've needed him to step up, statistical analysis says he's failed to do so this season. The point of the small sample means that you can't read too much into the numbers. So yes you can say he has objectively been poor in these situations this season, but you cannot use those numbers to conclude that he has regressed.

Yelich is the 4th Briggs (9 innings) Kevin Reimer (13 innings) Jean Segura (14 innings)
-
Where is Briggs? Yelich joins his namesake with the second 6 hit 9 inning game in Brewer history https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE197308040.shtml

I am quoting your quote and responding with: Mike Marshall

we don't need any more runs. Pays big 21 never disappoints

Awesome game for me, got to watch the whole thing while holding my crying newborn daughter but did not mind at all. I could not believe we even got it to Braun with a chance to win but when he K'd I thought that was it. Too little faith in Air Jordan Lyles, then Kratz finds a hole with his only weapon, the ground ball to the left side. Awesome. Our last multi-run, extra inning comeback was in 1992 against Boston. The game featured 12th inning heroics from Scott Fletcher in his only season in Milwaukee, and Jim Gantner's only career walk-off HR in the 13th.

Yes I understand we have played more games but I still like we have the same number of wins as the Cubs
-
He pitched 3 innings in two days prior to yesterday...not at all shocking. It is mid-August, not mid-September. Too early to kill the pen. Freddy Peralta just pitched 7 innings in 2 hours. I don't think it would kill him. And if he is worried about burning the pen today was the perfect day to leave Peralta in to start the 8th.
-
He wont use JJ in a tie game yesterday, but have him warming up with a 4 run lead 16 hours later.
-
He was out in front, the ball was off the end of the bat for a pretty lazy liner. His first 2B missed a HR by a few feet off the top of the wall
-
7-8-9 due up for the Reds, at least let Peralta start the 8th to face them, don't overthink this CC
-
Wow that 1-0 pitch to Aguilar was right down Wisconsin Avenue
-
Can Fredo bunt? No career sac attempts yet
