EloyJenkins Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I love grandal...but i dont think Yaz calls Kimbrel well at all. In fact his pitch selection has been 50% of Kimbrels runs tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Kimbrel needs to not spike pitches so badly that the catcher has no chance to block it. It's cost him twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If TLR didn’t bring Hamilton in for a perfectly competent Romy Gonzalez, you could’ve hit Sheets for Gonzalez, then bring Hamilton in for defense. Real dumb move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kike is a good fastball hitter. Yaz had already allowed one wild pitch that at bat. Do you have confidence in him blocking the curve in the dirt? Yaz didn’t.

Real dumb move. Yup really fucking stupid. Now you gotta live with Sheets in the OF. Or bring in Mendick to play SS and move Leury to the OF. I don't know if Vaughn is available.

Grandal has always been bad at that and seby is straight up awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real dumb move. Now he takes out Hamilton out for Sheets and we end up with a bad defensive corner outfield in a tied game late. That’s TLR for you again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
