He’s warming
-
96 followed by a cement mixer slider. He might actually be hurt or overworked. Awful swing from Riley Greene there.
-
This is an unbelievable game plan. 12 pitches, 12 sliders. It’s not like he’s a one trick pony, the fastball also grades as an excellent pitch with obviously elite velo.
-
Not sure how you aren’t sitting slider at this point until he shows you otherwise.
-
Not sure how you don’t throw Carpenter a fastball up and out of the zone after 7 consecutive sliders.
-
To be fair his regular season load is not that egregious for a reliever. Jeff Hoffman for instance pitched 6 more innings and got into 7 more games. Not sure if keeping his usage low in the regular season was on purpose but he should be pretty fresh all things considered.
-
lol
-
Baez just missed giving them the lead right back.
-
Holton should have been in a batter earlier. The ride your starters to the end crowd eating good in this game.
-
Skubal is much better than Kirby.
-
Leaving Finnegan against Naylor is a very questionable call here.
-
Imagine pulling your back to back Cy Young ace at only 99 pitches for a guy who was closing games for the Washington Nationals the last two seasons.
-
Like either way Skubal isn’t pitching Sunday or Monday. Why not ride him for one more inning?
-
The Blue Jays scored zero runs that game, and the pitchers only gave up 2! It wasn’t even the wrong call by the results.
-
Kirby’s numbers are historically MUCH worse a third time through the lineup. At that point you’re risking the game getting out of hand by leaving him out there. Just because the reliever coming in blew it doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right move to make. The odds of that homer happening are much lower than one of the other guys beating Kirby.
-
At 99 pitches I don’t think there’s any chance he’s not coming back out. Only question really is if you let him finish the inning at 115-120 pitches. I say the answer is still yes. I only consider taking him out if he allows a base runner around the 115th pitch.
-
Skubal is pumping gas approaching 100 pitches. He needs to stay in this game.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Can’t believe I’m agreeing with AJ Pierzynski that this was objectively the right move by the numbers.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Kerry f***ing Carpenter. Holy f***
-
Javy Baez has had an incredible series.
