Why did Gibby use Osuna with a 4-run lead in a clean inning yesterday if it meant he wouldn't be available in a tight game today?

Lol

Gibby's stupidity is why but I'm sure Osuna will be tip top next game, he's a gamer with a short memory.

 

Gibby doesn't want to overwork his young pitcher the first 2 weeks into the season.

Would you prefer Donaldson wear the ball off his face?

Looks hilarious but it's that or break your nose.

He was warmed up already since the Jays didn't score all those add on on runs until late in the 8th. Since he was warm he probably just decided to use him instead of get someone else warm.

[Laika]

does it make sense to use him in a 5-1 game? it wasn't a save opportunity.

There is very little functional difference between a 4 run lead and a 3 run lead. Teams should use their best relievers. There was no way of knowing that today's game would present a save opportunity. Save opportunity bullpen management is stupid anyway.

 

I don't think it matters. Storen yesterday and Osuna today - what would the difference be?

[Angrioter]

Cmon Storen

Slide is to dangerous

Yeah I think this is the right answer. But that said, it seems like our key relievers have been unavailable numerous times already when needed. Gibby needs to pick it up.

Unlike the other team--who are running Kimbrel and Uehara (and Tazawa) to the ground already, since Carson Smith is still a little ways away..

[Angrioter]

Storen is garbage

For sure just such a dumb move putting him in unnecessarily yesterday in the first place.

[Laika]

Storen is garbage

 

He isn't as good as I thought he would be. Is the stuff worse for some reason?

[Belliss101]

Storen is garbage

 

You're garbage

[youngtea]

Gibby will be a genius or idiot depending on how Storen finishes this game.

[Orgfiller]

Storen's slider has a lot of late movement. Really impressive pitch.

fair enough. I'm just pissed because I have Osuna and need the saves! lol

It was a save situation until we scored a tack on run in the 9th. Gibby had him warmed up anyway so he put him in.

[Belliss101]

Throw strikes Store. 3-run lead

[HERPDERP]

fastball velocity is down.

There is very little functional difference between a 4 run lead and a 3 run lead. Teams should use their best relievers. There was no way of knowing that today's game would prevent a save opportunity. Save opportunity bullpen management is stupid anyway.

 

It's not stupid. What's better, winning a game 5-1 and losing the next game 4-3, or winning a game 5-3 and winning the next game 3-2.

[Effit]

Such a pest.

[Belliss101]

Throw strikes please

I wonder if Osuna comes in if this is a 1-run game, or if Storen puts the first 3 runners on or something. Was he available today?

Lost 2 MPH

[Angrioter]

You're garbage

Hanging secondary stuff pitches, 92 hitable fastball and missing the spot

[Belliss101]

No1 throwing????

[HERPDERP]

No1 throwing????

 

it's his game to lose

[burlingtonbandit]

But he was already warmed up so in a way he was already wasted if you didn't use him.
