Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays in Buffalo (Game 4/4)

[Stangstag]

Legit, how many net losses/runs has Charlie been worth? He is so f***ing brutal. Anderson just sailing. s*** line up. And brings in Font FFS.

 

Everyone needs a turn. Montoyo will never win a postseason series with his little league mentality

[BlueRocky]

Lynn might be going to the Dodgers per Morosi

Montoyo doing montoyo things

Font is a gas can, he should be dfa'd next.

[Stangstag]

If left to his own devices a guy like Charlie Montoyo would just let Anderson come out for the 6th.

 

Decisions like that are coming from above, based on agreed upon managerial strategies.

 

You can also rest assured that statistically it is probably the right move regardless of result.

 

Manager has to have a backbone and use his eyes to assess the situation

Don't know of it's legit, but Shulman/Buck said he's better 3rd time through the order.

By the eye test Grichuk has been a rock in CF.

If they wanted a manager with a backbone they would not have hired Charlie Montoyo. lol.

[gruber92]

The incompetence of Montoyo is really going to shine in the playoffs to the point where I doubt it will be possible for him to begin 2021 as the manager.

 

I think we're already there.

Don't know of it's legit, but Shulman/Buck said he's better 3rd time through the order.

 

He most definitely is not better a 3rd time through the order.

[DigitalRock]

Font rocked hard...pretends to be shocked, lucky he never gave up two bombs.

[LGBJ29]

Font got so lucky that inning holy s***

[Stangstag]

f*** i thought that was gone

[Jaysareus]

Font is lucky that was a near home run

lol, lucky its only tied

[Jaysareus]

Font thought that was gone too by his reaction to it

He isn't. ERA:

 

3.41 - first

3.91

4.90 - third time through

 

K-BB%

 

15.2

10.7

8.6 - third time

I'd bet if you played out the scenarios 100 times, leaving Anderson in vs Font, Anderson would come out on top a good majority of the time.

Yeah Gritch has been solid out there.

[glory]

Even if removing Anderson is the right call, bringing Font in is not.

 

(And for the record, I would have had no issues keeping Chase in).

I don't know if I disagree with you. Font has not impressed me this year, subjectively.

Thanks. How can Buck/Dan blindly just make s*** up on air lol?

[Stangstag]

Yeah I agree, but he seems to over-manage the pitching a lot. Feels a lot like Dave Roberts' playoff managing. You gotta use your eyes, sometimes guys are coasting and sometimes they're nott. The pitching changes/decisions should be made based on the real-time situation.

[DigitalRock]

Gurriel, nice to get him going.

May be the right move to remove Anderson, but totally wrong move to use Font here. This is the 2nd game in a row now that Anderson left with a lead only to have Font blow it. At least this time he was able to limit the damage. Font is too inconsistent, and when he is not on, he is awful. DFA all the way on this piece of dog s***.

Some of the biggest nerds on earth have been paid to look into this, with millions and millions of dollars at stake.

I don't think the nerds agree with you.

[DigitalRock]

What a dumb move even if he is safe.

[BlueRocky]

WOW Gurriel
