Look at it this way, we won 2 out of 3 and won the series and on the road to boot. Edited August 3 by The Mighty Mite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1st time I've seen Alexander....think I'll leave the room next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Top of the order, bottom of the 9th, and the closer isn’t used? Cmon. I get going by the gut but that’s an incredibly easy decision both by analytics and feel of the game. Oh well, good series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 It kinda sucks we don't have anybody better down on the farm for the bullpen, even in a rebuilding period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 trying to think...if Taylor is either unavailable or being held for a save situation, who else is available? Owen White joined the team today so not sure of his availability (and I don't think I want him to pitch even with platoon advantage). Then you have Gilbert. Leasure just went back to back so he's out. And I think everybody else pitched already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m usually not one to second guess decisions like that, but I don’t understand it. I said “What are we doing here?” as soon he he brought him. Even if he gets the lefty out, he has to face Trout/Ward. Does Alexander have decent splits against righties perhaps? I don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they planned to use vasil in the 7th and 8th but obviously he was needed ealier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 9 minutes ago, Jake said: baseball Yep. Benny hit one 400ft but to the wrong part of the park. Sosa also missed one by a foot or two, couple hard liners from Teel and Luis, etc. It happens. Keep swinging it like they have been and they'll be alright more often than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
