Your point doesn't make sense. The second batter he faced hit a HR to make it 10-3. So either you think Murphy should have used a leverage arm when the Giants had a 93% win probability in the 7th inning or you think Murphy should have pulled Woodford for a leverage arm after the Giants went up 10-3 and had a 99.9% win probability?
Like I said to Bulldog. The Brewers were down 6-3 in the 7th inning with 2 runners on and 0 outs when Woodford came in. The only other available relievers were the three leverage guys. You think they should have gone to Ashby in that situation?
The Giants had a 93.1% win probability when Woodford came in and the choices were Woodford or Ashby, Uribe, Megill. You would have complained if Murphy used his A pen there and Brewers don't come back because the Giants actually use their A pen
Jett has been a below average hitter in AAA so far this year with a .298 xwOBA. His .347 OBP is only one point better than the International League average of .346 this season.
I honestly don't know the last time I've seen the ball carry like this in AmFam. Chourio's 2nd HR is the only HR today that should have been a HR based on EV and LA.
This is why I mentioned they should be flipped around in the order in these LHH heavy lineups. That way you pinch hit for Frelick not Mitchell in those spots.
One thing that bugs me about today and yesterday is that Mitchell is the OF getting pinch hit for more often than Frelick. I think in these LHH heavy lineups they should flip Mitchell and Frelick around so Frelick is the guy getting pinch hit for and not Mitchell.
Thank goodness the Red Sox wanted Caleb Durbin. Imagine what this pitching staff would have looked like this year if we didn't have Harrison and Drohan
I don’t think anyone is blaming Vaughn. Today was just a good example of why until his bat speed is back the team is a better team with him on the bench against RHP
Vaughn wasn’t coming off a broken hamate bone with regressed bat speed in that moment. He’s looked significantly worse against RHP this year than he did last year.
Murphy defending his decision to hit Sanchez and also said he put Perkins in to bunt. That 8th inning was honestly one of the worst managed innings he’s ever had.
Hopefully the fans clamoring for Vaughn to play against RHP will quiet down after tonight. Just looked totally out of place at the top of the lineup tonight.
I know Murphy said it was just a day off for Chourio but the fact Lara got late scratched in Nashville makes me nervous that something is wrong with Chourio
Not strange that Fischer didn't make the list. BA dropped him out of the Top 10 on their updated team lists when they updated them mid-May. Prospect people aren't going to rate him that highly until he can cut out the swing and miss.
