Scherzer vs. Javier. Heaney pitching the 9th pretty much guarantees that's the matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to favor Javier in that particular matchup...need an ultra quick hook for Max, unless he can rise to the occasion. 2023 Postseason G W-L ERA IP SO WHIP 2 2-0 1.69 10.2 12 0.94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Without a strong cheering interest...just hoping for another 7 game series. Pretty shocked Nola collapsed at home with how well he's been going in the postseason. Big decision to pull Kelly when he had a run of consecutive batters retired going there.

Would love to see Scherzer with an equally putrid start. Nice they got out of it keeping it at three. Jose Abreu hit a Grand Slam off of Max Scherzer in their only matchup this season. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?request=1&player_id1=abreu-009jos&player_id2=scherz001max They also faced of in 2014 and 2016.

Just baffling decisions. Eduardo Perez on the radio was yelling to walk him. He was similarly yelling that Diaz needed to hit for Maldonado last inning when they got two men on, but you can’t bench the veteran you know. Dusty might not have lost this game but he hasn’t helped one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most in any single playoff series since RBI became a stat. He is 2 away from tying the record for most RBI in a postseason.

Dusty should have taken some advice from his buddy TLR. Dusty's infatuation with Maldonado is also just weird. Guy can't hit, can't frame, isn't good at anything anymore. Maybe he calls a better game than Diaz, but when you're down 6, you need offense. Not a guy who hits .160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
