For all the hooting and hollering last night about whether to pull Peralta for that Carpenter AB, I thought CC's explanation was very simple and made perfect sense. Basically, we made too much of it as fans of being a 'bullpen' game. They viewed it as Peralta going as long as he could just like a starter, but they wanted to give him help by eliminating one Carpenter AB so he only had to face him once. Simple as that and makes fine sense. And really, I don't see any reason you wouldn't try the same thing tomorrow when we have a righty starter again.
-
setting up perfect for Yeli here, double in the gap 3 RBIs would be just perfect
-
Maybe my app is whack right now but i see nothing on the radar right over STL.
-
I think it's widely known ozuna has an injured arm. Have him in fantasy, yes a shoulder injury all year. Though I'm not sure which arm, seemed like his right on that though.
-
Jennings, Hader, Cedeno, Gio. Totally possible. Gio is starting tomorrow last I saw. So 3 lefties. It would have to work out perfectly but your best case scenario could have been the 3 lefties then Jeffress for his last AB. But you have to remember there is lefty pinch hitters that can be used and you might want Cedeno for one of them in a crunch spot
-
wow, i thought Shaw was gonna cost as that by not running backwards a bit more. I'd like to see how close that was. Let's go Hader, now just a simple 123.
-
I don't know how it's missed that they don't have enough lefties to face him every time. He decided to try it there with a righty instead of later. That's where the toss up came, when to do it. He chose then so that come the 8th or 9th he still has a lefty for him and/or Fat Adams when needed. Am I crazy I do feel like opposing pitchers have been gifting us runs with bases loaded walks and wild pitches a lot lately?
-
But it's all results based after the fact. Most of these decisions are complete toss ups and can go either way without a clear cut right/wrong. Just saying trying to remember that would probably ease a lot of tension. I apologize for generally coming off too positive or just trust the manager. I guess I'm a little burned from being forced to watch the Badger game (overlapping with the Pit shutout Sat night) with a super negative guy. It was painful to listen to. Everything is this person sucks or the coaches are an idiot, hornibrook is god awful etc. Acted like the Brewers are in mid collapse and I barely know the guy so after one time reminding him they've lost one series in like 2.5 months I just bit my tongue.
-
You know what's funny. If he puts in Cedeno and Cedono gives up the hit (like Jennings did so many times) a chunk of posters would be ripping it saying Peralta was rolling well, why not just let him go. Of course not saying the same folks would've said it, but CC can't win with everybody unless he learns how to magically predict which reliever is gonna give up hits on a given day
-
You don't wanna move the winning run into scoring position. Hader is gonna pitch at least the next inning now, maybe two depending on pitches and if his spot to hit comes up. I wouldn't have questioned the initial one if they went lefty either. It could easily go either way, to act like it's a clear cut bonehead decision either way is what's wrong. There is a logic either way. Yet it's multiple posts that it was a horrible move etc. I wouldn't criticize it either way. Peralta just made a bad pitch. It was basically a toss up decision, CC guess wrong
-
Right, if Carpenter hits that right at Yeli instead no one says a word. agree on the surprised not to just try and get lucky with a Thames dinger, you never know when he runs into one
-
I can't speak for the rest of y'all, but I would have said it was the right thing to do with a man on... Worry about later, later. LOL several here are bashing the guy for letting him face a righty with 2 outs and a guy on 1st. Literally the 2nd least dangerous time possible. And you don't think if that happened people would be bashing him. So far it's 1 run in 4 innings and he's getting ripped on
-
Bolding it doesn't make your point more salient. With a runner on, the right move was to bring in a lefty. Worry about later later. I bolded it because I couldn't quote normal due to many posts in it. So it isolated what new was said. Thanks for the condescension though. So what would ya'll have said if he used Cedono there and then later with bases loaded 2 outs he has to use Barnes.
-
Yep Yep. Didn't want to hurt Chase's feelings I guess. We'll see what they say after. But my guess is they didn't plan on Peralta going that long. Let it ride since he was doing well
-
If you are doing a bullpen game, you do a bullpen game. Not a Freddy Peralta start disguised as a bullpen game because you tossed your disposable lefty in there for the first hitter. Counsell has had some great games playing matchups this year. This one was a miss though. If you're doing a bullpen game, you don't have to bring in a new guy every inning. And as of this posting, reliever #2 has gone 3 and 2/3rds allowing 1 run. At least put the pitchforks away until something worth crucifying the manager happens. Except it wouldn't have been every inning, it would have been to face a lefty named Carpentar, who we were not going to allow to beat us. There isn't enough lefties to face carpenter every time though. Had to risk it at some point and that was the 2nd least dangerous time possible
-
I'd think that with Hader ready for Carpenter if danger and then more after Carpenter. That should get you through at least 6, maybe 7. If Williams goes 123. maybe start Cedono in 6th then someone like soria or Knebel
-
Ding ding ding. 2 outs guy on first is literally the second least dangerous time to face carpenter. Save Cedeno Hader for what could be a more difficult time later. Peralta just threw a bad pitch. You could've tried Hader there and then gotten through the 4th with him but I'm sure they wanted to save him for a bit later, and as I said it was the 2nd least dangerous time possible to have a righty vs Carpenter. I do note that I'm a bit surprised they went this long with Peralta and that they allowed him to hit. But as the announcers said he has looked very good so maybe they just rode him a bit longer than planned and there was nobody on base when his AB came up so...
-
You have an off day coming Thursday to fully rest the bullpen no matter what happens here. If you end up using Hader/Jeffress each two innings tonight though it could really limit the team Tuesday though. Personally I probably just go Anderson on a quick hook like they've been doing but I appreciate the attempt here. They're viewing this as must win, if you get the W yuou're up 3 with 5 games left, lose and you're only up 1. It's a huge swing to the %s.
-
That's likely the role of the next guy after Jennings. My guess anyway. Think of like this, what's the difference if Jennings goes for 1 batter now or in the 7th. Pure guess of course, but I'd think the 'extended' guy will be 3rd up if things go according to plan in some kind of normal 1-0 type game in the first few innings. Jennings to start, someone like Williams after for some righties, then we bat and use the P spot. then an extended 2-3 inning guy like Woodruff. We'll see, interesting stuff
-
I just assumed we were already losing. I can't imagine what will happen on here if they give up like 3 runs the first two innings with this strategy.

Game thread, Green Bay vs. Washington, 9/23/18

They simply have to understand that it's impossible to make an inherently violent sport safe. The players are fully grown adults making a decision to play in exchange for a large sum of money. Yes you shouldn't be encouraging the craziness of intentionally injuring like 20 years ago or blatant intentional cheap shots, clear that up and penalize/fine as much as needed. Maybe even moreso than they've been doing, take what that Bears LB did to Adams last year, throw the book at stuff like that one. But you have to let them play the game or you're going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, bite the hand that feeds, kill the cash cow, or whichever idiom you want to use. Everyone is aware of the risks now, it's their choice to play or not. ETA: I'm one who's been off the NFL wagon for about 5-6 years already. If we didn't have the best QB and a contending team every year I wouldn't watch at all. I've yet to watch a play other than the Packers this year besides random plays on twitter when someone is usually bashing the penalty that was called. When they extended the commercial break frequency and length a few years ago that was it for me, I couldn't stay awake. And still often fall asleep during Packer games. And in the NFL you only have at most two games to choose from unless you pay for Sunday ticket or RZ. So there is a good chance both games are on commercial at the same and/or one or both games is trash or a blowout. The wide open nature of college football makes it much better to watch, plus there is like 8 games on at once. So at least one or two is going to be a good matchup or entertaining. -
Well I think I'd have rather done a bullpen game in the 2011 playoffs than keep trotting Marcum out there to get toasted each time just because that's the way it's always been in baseball. The team that beat us that year went unconventional pulling their starter early every game.
-
Because we could then not have Jennings start. And it would go back and forth until one side caves.
-
If there was any historical precedence of factoring D this much into the conversation I'd understand it more, but it just reeks of trying to find a way/excuse to justify giving it to a guy just because you want to already (big market, flashy, whatever reason). It really shouldn't be that close of a call. And again, it's not like yelich is playing DH. He's playing a good OF defense. Baez is more valuable on D because he can play middle infield, no doubt about that but he's not a gold glove elite level defender, especially at SS.
-
I wasn't impressed at all by this game. GReat to get the W in a tough environment, found a way to do it and that's great. But, they were gifted 7 pts on the punt. Take that away and with 2ish mins left in that game the offense had scored 7 points. That is just not good for an offense that is supposed to be this good, no way around it. Then they put together an incredible drive to win the game and got a garbage time TD. The offense just has to be better. More play actions and passes on early downs, not just 3rd down shotgun passing when it's obvious. Need some kind of misdirection on offense with jet sweeps and fake jet sweeps, something to threaten the edge. D backs are going to be a struggle all year. They still have time to improve before PSU. Michigan you'd expect a bit of a slugfest game similar to Iowa, but they do have speed that could give the backs trouble as well. The whole team likely has to step up big by Michigan.
