Because Graveman is hurt. If he was healthy, I'd rather have him over Montero even as mediocre as he's been since we reacquired him. Well,...
I wouldn't get that cute. Maybe go with Stanek. My worry with Montero is not that he blows an 8-run lead, but that he lets them score a few and...
No reason to use Neris in the bottom of the 9th.
Depends on how long the starter goes. Does Urquidy give them more than 3-4 innings?
No reason whatsoever to use Pressly with (at least) a 5 run lead. Tomorrow is likely to be a bullpen game. Save the big arms for that one.
Arizona didn't care about that 3rd game, but this does make those first two wins look pretty impressive in retrospect. The Astros pitching...
Every home team but the Braves won Game 1 in the Division Series last year. But the Astros were the only team to head out on the road up 2-0.
Did Schwarber really hit only .197 this season?
Pressly can hold a 2-run lead in the 9th. Sincerely, The Baltimore Orioles
I'm gonna assume Abreu was still sore from hitting the ball off his leg, cuz otherwise that is some lazy ass baserunning.
I can't fault Dusty for going with Neris. No one saw him sh-tting the bed this badly.
That wasn't a strike. But I'll take it.
I'm glad Dusty doesn't have the opportunity to use Graveman. He damn near cost us a playoff spot in Arizona. I really wish Singleton wasn't on...
I'm ok with this. Framber was our best pitcher in the 2022 postseason. But Verlander's been our best pitcher the last few weeks. The key is Dusty...
Who does he think he is? Jeremy Pena?
The Twins will be tough, but the Astros should still win the series.
Yep. I'm not sweating the Twins or Blue Jays, but we definitely want either one with only a day off between series. I remember being pissed at...
Atlanta won 101 games last season, was on a roll heading into the playoffs after catching the Mets for the division title, and promptly got smoked...
Leaving Urquidy in and starting Javier yesterday were both good moves. He never should've gone to Graveman, but otherwise he managed a pretty...
