And a strong game for Seabold. Bloom looking smart again.

Last night Cora let Wacha face Trout, the best in the game, a third time. It was Ohtani he didn't want Wacha to face, because he's a LH power hitter and he was the tying run. Sometimes we get fixated on certain things and overlook the specific situation in the game.
-
He's been healthy since July 2019. What do you want?
-
They usually do.
-
Haven't we talked a lot about how relievers are being stretched out to pitch more innings now?
-
They've got guys they can shuttle to help out with the reduced pen number.
-
Although he's never let up on "Flintstone Schwaber".
-
It's not about "babying". Analytics and game planning are the culprit for the quick hooks, if you want one.
-
That's the whole point of my question, yes. Renfroe was as good as Beni or better last year, so we didn't miss Beni.
-
It looks that way now. But last year he sucked up until September (his OPS was .699 on Sept. 7.)
-
It's kind of weird when you win 4-0 and people are still second-guessing the pitching moves.
-
And if Ohtani homered off Wacha to tie it, with Diekman ready, I'm sure they would been yucking it up too.
-
Thanks doc.
-
With Verdugo, Kike and Renfroe, where were you going to play Beni last year?
-
Who had the better year last year, Beni or Renfroe?
-
Yep. Logical stuff all the way.
-
My argument is in the reply I posted to Jackson. It was a game situation call. Cora didn't want Wacha to face Ohtani there. Cora was treating this as a virtual must-win.
-
Pitch counts aren't necessarily the big factor.
-
You have to look at the specifics of the game, too. Sox ahead 2-0. Wacha is left in to face Ward and Trout for the third time each. Trout gets on and Ohtani is up with a chance to tie the game. Cora goes to the lefty.
-
Yes, Modern Baseball Game Planning.
-
It's just further proof of how silly the stats for saves and blown saves are. Maybe someone will start separately tracking "Blown Saves due to Manfred Man".
-
Well, he was cooked by then.
-
In a 39 year old who's made hundreds of millions?
-
That evidence includes the Mets eating $40 mill to be rid of him.
-
Manny always managed to drown out complaints about lack of hustle with his numbers.
