GDT (3/7 if necessary): Royals @ Blue Jays [Cueto v Stroman] Oct 19 - 8:07 pm

WHY SANCHEZZZ!!!!!!!? Use f***ing Hendriks!

 

This is the perfect time for Hendriks. Sanchez has pitched in every game but 1.

[Spanky99]

* Hendriks

 

I hate that.

[Governator]

Are we the only team that uses setup men and closers in 6 run ball games?

 

We could use Tepera, Hawkins & Loup. What could possibly go wrong.

[glory]

Sanchez is like the 5th best reliever on the team (behind Osuna, Cecil, Lowe, Hendriks) and yet he's used like Herrera or Betances. What a joke.

[Mowich]

Start Marcus in the 7th..........if he allows so much as one base..........yank him.

[o2cui2i]

Yeah but you don't want to let them back in it either. There's risk either way but I say shut em down.

 

... and on that note, here's Stroman.

 

I'd send him out again for the 7th. his pitch count is fine. have lowe ready if 2 guys get on and if Stroman can get through the 7th the jays are set up to ride it home.

[Followthelight]

Why is Lowe and Hendricks never being used but Hawkins is? Gibby is awful.

[Spanky99]

We need the pen for tmr. Let Stroman continue.

 

This^^^

[37stieb]

f***ing KC.... not sure how this team is hitting everything being thrown.

[KingKat]

Are we the only team that uses setup men and closers in 6 run ball games?

 

Would be pretty much standard strategy if tomorrow was an off day. Risky strategy in the first game of a three game run. That being said, since I don't love Sanchez in the setup spot anyways, I'm fine with it.

[Chappy]

I agree. 7 or even 8 Imo. The lead is big enough to try and rest the pen.

[baubau]

Dang JD.

[Inklink]

Goins just called y'all CRAZY.

[Spanky99]

Ewwww..... your back?

[candymartinez]

* Hendriks

 

Can't fault me for the mistake. Haven't seen his name on TV in god knows how long.

It's not risky in a must win game.

[gruber92]

Revere needs to be moved from the leadoff spot. Gives you nothing at the top of the order.

 

Yeah.. I'm not crazy about lead off hitters who have similar OBP as their BA.

 

IMO, Pompey will eventually get there. Great approach.

[saskjayfan]

Happy Birthday Jose....nice at bat!

[Mowich]

Two walks for the birthday boy...........strut em' Joey.

[baubau]

Yeah.. I'm not crazy about lead off hitters who have similar OBP as their BA.

Think Travis might be better there than Pomps. We'll see as Pomps speed is better but Travis may have the higher OBP.

[Inklink]

FOX can't get enough of that play. Mentioned it after both Goins big hits. Pathetic.

[thatoneguy]

MJ black cloud has descended once again.

[Spanky99]

Can't fault me for the mistake. Haven't seen his name on TV in god knows how long.

 

I lol'd

[Followthelight]

Gameplan and pitch selection has been awful. No high fastballs to change the eye level, not pitching inside. Reminds me of price neglecting his curveball in the 7th in game 2 when it was effective all game especially against lefties.

[fatcowxlive]

Start Marcus in the 7th..........if he allows so much as one base..........yank him.

 

one guy is almost certainly reaching. Pull him if 2 reach

[KingKat]

It's not risky in a must win game.

 

Yeah but tomorrow is pretty much a must win too. Handling a big lead in this situation is tricky.

[baubau]

Its the playoffs. Is there ever a game that isn't a "must win"?

[Daniel Labude]

Does Stroman come back out again?

Coach^^^

[deadlee]
