    so far we have guaranteed HRs from Chappy and Springer.

    but youre missing the overall point. Because you have no idea what info he has, you have no idea what the best move is, so calling out some move you dont agree with doesn't matter. A manager can't always make the perfect ideal decision. I'd wager they probably cant do that even half the time depending on the metric ton of variables that are in play every single day that we never know about.

    The point is you have no idea what information he is making his decisions from ... so you sitting there saying he made the "wrong one" is presumptive and stupid. All you have is hindsight, which is always perfect.

    Enough of this s***. Manoah needs to bring his A+ stuff and just let it buck.
  7. John_Havok
    You both suck

    Not a glorified puppet, but he's going to have parameters he has to manage to. It wouldn't be anything as strict as "must always insert X pitcher to face Y Batter in 5th inning no matter who starts..." kind of s***, but more like "If X pitcher is at X number of pitches and is now in his third time through the lineup... here's 2 or 3 relief options that match up well with this part of the lineup, that part of the lineup etc. Score would obviously be a factor as would reliever availability and if a guy is on his second day in a row vs fresh. he makes decisions based on the info provided. That's not the same thing as having in game decisions made for him. I bet that the who's in and who's out on any given day (assuming injuries arent a thing) is probably much more rigid though. Every regular is going to have planned days off, planned DH days and the non regulars are going to be platooned per matchups more often than not. They're definitely going to stick to that unless injuries force a change.

    The pen really is the victim of ridiculous HR rates. Cimber has been a trainwreck but is hurt, ... Bass has been ass... Jimmy is throwing very well, but everything that gets hit seems to leave the yard. Pop and Richards also off the average. The pen is largely fine if Bass goes away, Cimber returns to normal and the HR rate normalizes for the others. Just looking at this though, I'm thinking Pearson's next appearance might be a bit more high leverage than he's seen so far.

    Look at the HR Swanson have up yesterday over the monster. HR in 2/30 parks. It's a loud out virtually everywhere else in baseball.
  12. John_Havok
    Those are great numbers but without the context, it's hard to take them seriously. Romano has been available for pretty much every "save" opportunity this season except for 1 or 2. No reason to just let someone else pitch if your "closer" is ready and available. Some of those teams may just not have a reliever that stands out, maybe they were 3 run saves and the primary closer had pitched the previous 2 games. Context is important.

    More like really bad to Oakland bad.
  14. John_Havok
    I think the pen overall is still good for a 162 game season, just not as good as it needs to be for a playoff run. Swanson and Romano are top guys, Jimmy should probably be about the 4th or 5th best guy in order to be a great pen. I’m fine with Mayza as a lefty killer, but they need another one. They need 2 guys to slot between Jimmy and Swanson on the depth chart, whether they get those two guys internally from guys stepping up like Pearson or Green if he makes it back or they have to get them via trade remains to be seen. I think if Pop stays on the roster he has to be the “worst” reliever they have in order for me to be truly okay with the pen as one that I’m not worried about every other game because I know the bottom 5 guys are all completely Jekyll and Hyde from day to day

    Can we agree not to take Vladdy tonight then? Try to get him going…
  16. John_Havok
    I hope he puts the first pitch in Verdugo’s ribs
  17. John_Havok
    Tapia’s fly out went further than that ******** HR.
  18. John_Havok
    hR in 2 parks out of 30. Xba of .270 f*** these garbage ass stadiums
  19. John_Havok
    How are we all so bad at this?
  20. John_Havok
    Cy Houck tonight
  21. John_Havok
    I’d rather hitch my wagon to Bo at this point tbh. It’s Bo you have to rein him in…with Vlad …it’s not that he doesn’t want to succeed, but there’s just something about him that makes me think we’ve already seen his best, and it’s not likely to be seen again
  22. John_Havok
    Fenway special. That’s an out in every other park in baseball. Xba of .060
  23. John_Havok
    K, so you dont really know. i'll just let it go then
  24. John_Havok
    Vlads launch angle right now is either straight into the ground, or straight up in the air. Timing is just off
