    It honestly isn't even about his overall numbers. It's not that I don't think he can be a good hitter. It's a lot of low IQ at-bats where he just needs to put the ball in play to score runs and he doesn't seem to understand the situation and it costs us. Sure I'd be frustrated if these K's were swinging instead of looking, but I wouldn't be accusing him of bad mental baseball.

    I like his upside well enough, but his ABs make him look like a mental midget who isn't a student of the game. You're in a run producing spot in the lineup and you have a chance to drive in runs and you're caught guessing. Over and over and over again. Know the situation and swing the bat.

    Brutal AB by Mitchell. Brutal. You can NOT be in a run producing spot in the lineup and watch Strike 3 with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. He has done this REPEATEDLY.

    Devin was very PC about it, but yeah, he was gassed. Murphy admitted he pulled Devin too late, so I'm glad to see some degree of accountability.

    I thought he did a great job of battling through last night. I thought tonight the fatigue was showing and it was a great example of going to the well one too many times.
  6. adambr2
    Uh, yeah? One of those pitches is even close to being a strike. The others are missing by plenty. There wasn't a single strike thrown in either of the last two ABs. Are we really arguing that Devin wasn't that erratic because his pitches were only missing by 5-6 inches rather than 1-2 feet? He didn't have it. I don't understand why you're so determined to argue otherwise.
  7. adambr2
    He didn't throw a single strike to Pham or Carpenter. He had one pitch in each AB that was even close. He had completely lost it. It had nothing to do with the calls he was getting. He didn't get a close call to Nootbar and then got a call on Goldschmidt or it would have been 4 walks in a row. He did not get incorrectly squeezed on one ball call the entire inning. Not one. The umpire was a complete non factor to Devin's inning other than gifting him Strike 3 to Goldschmidt.

    But he is overworked. He's pitched in 5 games in the last week. He's averaged over 16 pitches per outing. He is still just a month removed from returning from a major injury. I don't know how you could not think that all of those things aren't likely contributing factors to him not being able to find the strike zone by the 5th outing in a short time frame.

    Tobias Myers did not have his best control or his best stuff tonight. Devin Williams couldn't even find the strike zone. There's a big difference.

    I don't have a problem with Devin being allowed to work out of a jam in October. I have a problem with Devin being forced to work out of a jam when he's clearly fatigued and overworked pitching in 5 out of the last 6 games when it's clearly affecting him and there are other options available.
  11. adambr2
    And it's ok to say it and also think that he's obviously done a good job this year. These things are not mutually exclusive.
  12. adambr2
    Unless things have totally changed since the BF days, you've been here long enough to know that this isn't a board that you can just say "you're all a bunch of babies" and have it be cool.
  13. adambr2
    If you'll go back to page 8 there were indeed posters saying they didn't think it was a good idea.
  14. adambr2
    Right, and no one came out to get him when it was obvious he couldn't find the plate.
  15. adambr2
    Always a cool move to resort to name calling when other opinions differ from your own.
  16. adambr2
    No one is worried about the division. The division is won. But any loss like this is a brutal blow to their chances of a top 2 seed.
  17. adambr2
    Ya
  18. adambr2
    Winner If you can't find the strike zone because you've been massively overworked lately, perhaps you're not the guy that should be on the mound in a 2 run game.
  19. adambr2
    Yes, he's sucked, he's been terrible. No, Nootbar shouldn't have struck out. You're asking for gifts that Devin didn't earn. Murph blew this one.
  20. adambr2
    I'm LMAO too. You're crying because Nootbar didn't get rung up on Ball 4 when the very next hitter actually DID get rung up on Ball 4. Is every close pitch that doesn't go our way just a total injustice?
  21. adambr2
    Complaining about a strike that wasn't even a strike is weak sauce. Yes, this umpire has sucked. No, that wasn't an actual strike to Nootbar.
  22. adambr2
    He's pitched in (checks notes) 5 games in the last week, 5 out of the last 6 games, with an average outing of over 16 pitches per outing, all the while returning from a major injury that has kept him out most of the season. He has indeed been run into the ground.
  23. adambr2
    Hoskins is junk. Nice work, Rhys. Not even going to try to move him over?
  24. adambr2
    Hey, Murphy screwed up. Big time. It's ok to point that out.
  25. adambr2
    Yes, and then we got a K back on Goldschmidt that also should have been a walk.
