what a waste of money, he is an absolute bum

[Stangstag]

Vlad bro… why not wait for a better pitch

[Stangstag]

Well that’s probably the game there honestly 

Sigh

because he doesn't have that kind of brain, he is just a simple, bold swinger

Vladdy should bunt, 

Unironically would’ve been better off there and would be up 2-1 right now

It was a hittable pitch, but he's been guessing fastball all day and getting sweepers instead which he's swung at all of them. Hasn't adjusted at all to what they're giving him.

Or at least stay back a bit and go the other way, that ball was outer half hittable.

Fantastic job by Corbin.

[neverbeenhere]

Come on JS, let him finish the inning 

[gruber9292]

Oh no, here come the metrics. Tommy Nance back in high leverage again. 

[Abomination]

Schneider just can't help himself with the pitching changes.

[Orgfiller]

You guys are idiots if you think letting Corbin face William Contreras and Gary Sanchez for a third time is a good idea. Objectively the right call.

[gruber9292]

You guys see my add behind home plate? Lol.. 

[Orgfiller]

Come on Nance, get your head out of your ass buddy.

Pen's gassed, meat.

[gruber9292]

This is getting pathetically predictable at this point. I'd rather Corbin face Contreras a third time than bring Nance in a tie game.

Miles is available for a few, no?

I don't mind Nance coming into a tied game, I just don't like taking your starting pitcher out while they're cruising just for some arbitrary reason (not related to pitch count).

Contreras and Sanchez were already all over Corbin even when he was pitching fine, both crush lefties, and you think them facing a tired Corbin - who didn't have a Spring Training and is on his second start of the season - for a third time is genuinely a good idea?

[gruber9292]

Nance looks like he's still in the game? I'll laugh my f***ing ass off if he starts the next inning.

No, it's definitely not a good idea. Nance isn't who you bring in when Miles is available.

Did Tommy Nance f*** your boyfriend or something?

Nance is a pitcher who should be used only in garbage innings in a game, not in high leverage situations. 

[neverbeenhere]

Gimenez is good, way to hustle 

[Laika]

This team is PAINFULLY IMPATIENT when Barger and Springer are out of the lineup. 

I hate adding a 2 pitch per PA guy like Sosa. Already have some aggressive hackers like Ernie and Varsho. Even Vlad is a swinger.

Yeah it's probably not a coincidence that Patrick and Sproat both have been incredibly efficient these last couple of games. They're swinging early for no good reason, just to roll it over or pop it up without doing any damage.

Be like Davis Schneider. Take a pitch. Be a man.

Bold going straight to boyfriend and not even wife lol

[neverbeenhere]

way to play small balls.

Don't look down on those plays, those are much more effective than waiting for Vladdy to get a base hit.

[neverbeenhere]

Much better than paying a bum player $500m.
