I guess they’ve decided homefield advantage is more important. If they clinch homefield before the last game i’d assume Manoah gets wildcard game 1 in Toronto
Did you watch the game last night? Cimber had some bad luck sure, but he looked awful too. He couldn’t hit the zone to save his life. He would have walked in the winning run if the game went on.
I think the idea was that they had the force play at home so it was more important to have 3 outfielders at that point…. But the ball was chopped so high that I don’t think anyone would have had it anyways.
Thanks for bringing the numbers to back up what I was saying. Cimber should not be used in high leverage over like 4-5 other guys in the pen. Seems like Bass is sick or something though.
Garcia dropped the ball big time last night, but even his outing had some bad luck with a weak grounder up the middle that Bo misplayed and double down the line landing just fair.
I get the thought process behind throwing sliders to Schwarber vs fastballs, but the sliders weren’t sharp and he missed badly with the first two. Then one in the zone gets fouled off, you can’t keep throwing it
In the end he hit in nicely just right at someone. Not really mad about that. Cimber was awful. Bad error by Bo in a key spot. Garcia was shaky.
Don’t forget we only had 3 runs because of that brutal Phills error.
Just a crap game all around in the last few innings
