Good call.  We'll see how this plays out.  What a start by Baez!

Holy sh*t!!! What a game.  That was crushed.  A no doubter.  Unreal!!!

[Jimcanuck]

Backfire!

LMFAO

Brutal pulling Kirby, he was f***ing dealing

[Brownie19]

Great play by Suarez

 

[Abomination]

I hope JS is watching this.

I don’t think pulling Kirby was necessarily the wrong move with Carpenter coming up for a third look. You’d expect the lefty to not s*** the bed completely against him, who sucks against lefties.

M's fans on reddit are melting down about the hook, but

- Carpenter crushes rights, and has owned Kirby

- Carpenter can't hit lefties (usually)

- Speier is really, really good

I think you can't really criticize Wilson 

[Grant77]

Should Seattle advance, it will be important for us to knock out starters early and feast on their lack of quality bullpen depth. Anyone not named Munoz or Brash has been absolutely lit up and Munoz has been heavily overused.

[Brownie19]

There's a chance that Kerry Carpenter develops into one of the best hitters in the AL over the next 3 years.  He's a stud.

I think he takes a big step forward next year.

[Orgfiller]

Kerry Carpenter is SO bad against lefties that he only has 197 career PAs against them in the regular season. Even his own team doesn’t want him to face them. Just a perfect swing in an unlikely spot.

[Jimcanuck]

I think you gotta give Kirby the chance to continue.  He earned it.

Where are the old style managers who watch the game and not analytics

It's understandable with risp and the previous abs I guess. That's baseball. 

[Jonn]

This would be such a massive upset if they can hang on

Not with zero outs and the tying run on second. s***** for them that Speier blew it immediately but that’s absolutely the right call to make in an elimination game. Carpenter rakes against RHP and it’s third time through the lineup.

[Jimcanuck]

Tigers top 5 farm system, McGonigle and Max Clark on the doorstep.  Gonna be watching these guys a lot.

Carpenter was 6-6 off him. Maybe you walk him there instead but not the wrong move

[Omar]

Now let's see how far Hinch will push Skubal.

I agree.  I didn't expect it to happen on that match up.

Yes I get all that, they could have just put Carpenter on 1st.

[Orgfiller]

Can’t believe I’m agreeing with AJ Pierzynski that this was objectively the right move by the numbers.

[Grant77]

I'm not just saying this because I want him tired, but you ride or die with Skubal here. Let your horse go 120+ pitches if he keeps dealing.

[hanton]

Color announcer is correct, it's all played based on the match ups.  Dan Wilson is like whatever ...I followed the game plan put together by the organization.

And then you run the risk that a homerun makes it a 3-1 game. It’s not like Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene coming up, again for a third look against Kirby, are good matchups for him.

[hanton]

didn't know it was Waino, if anyone he should know

AJP being the voice of reason on the panel is certainly unexpected

He looks unhittable. I’d be genuinely disappointed if he doesn’t get the chance to get through the 7th barring some trouble on the bases.

Winning managers do not pull pitchers who are crushing it
