caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Bottom three hitters for NY next inning. Can we please forget Kelly's playoff numbers and salary and just put Graveman in the 7th and 8th where he belongs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Holmes has been a top 3 reliever in baseball since the Yankees acquired him. If the Sox can score something here, it'd be very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 They really need to bring in McGuire for the 9th. It's nuts to rely on catcher who can't block Hendriks' pitches or throw pretty much any one out to save his life. Hendriks to make matters worse seems wholly disinterested in preventing runners from stealing at well and is slow to home plate to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the type of postseason experience that all Hall of Fame baseball persons like to have." But really, the game has been managed pretty darn well so far.

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) If the Pirates had only kept their pitching staff intact along with Marte, Reynolds and Hayes and Bell they might actually be winning the Central.

These pitchers wouldn't be getting the same results had they stayed in Pittsburgh. Their major league pitching coaching/development is really bad.
