we have undemanding standards
Weird -- that wasn't a swing.
If you changed this to Taco Bell, Bookman would be good with it.
The walk is the killer part of this appearance. Solo HR, and who cares.
Man, I'd have liked to have seen one of the other guys close with a 3 run lead, and Doolittle having a taxing series. We have a couple other guys capable of probably doing it.
I think Rainey can be brought into a desperate, high leverage situation. But if you need someone to throws strikes, he's not the man.
Rodney?
Grace.
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. Do managers not have some kind of access to win probability by situation metrics for going to pitchers? ie, up by a lot late, bring in the guy who never walks and pitches to contact. Guys on 2nd and 3rd, up by one in the 7th, 2 out, bring in a guy like Rainey?
Some managers have that in-game computer management tool. dave Martinez has this:(Image removed from quote.)
Doolittle for the first 2 outs and then bring in Rodney.... Keep that option from vesting!
What’s with Hughes’ smirk?
