I think we went about as far as can be expected given the talent level on this team. It sucks that we will lose to the Yankmees to end the season but next year will hopefully be better.
Do you have a link to support that?
Ronald Acuna, Adonis Garcia, and Lane Thomas are on the list I found. I don’t see Eaton name there. But Abreu is a GG OF. In a close game like this I think it was prudent to put your best defensive players in the game if possible.
Never mind. Apparently Eaton has a great arm. Not sure how accurate it is but I still think that the right move was to put my GG OF in RF. Not sure he would have got Chisholm but it was still the right move.
Overall, I agree. But you can't make dumb mistakes like asking Rafaela to bunt runners over when he hasn't done it much, if at all, this year. Also, he has been hitting fairly well. Can't ask a guy to be successful at something he never practices.
Add the coaching staff-Hudson for not sending Eaton when he could have scored and Cora for asking Rafaela to bunt-I don't think I saw him try to bunt runners over all year-and for not putting Abreu in for Eaton in RF for defense-he might have thrown out the winning run at home.
But we were in the game the whole way and had our chances with a bunch of bench players, really-Sogard, Eaton etc. Now we will have to try to win with a rookie pitching tomorrow.
