Great decision by Frazier.

Maybe we need a bullpen pitching coach. Coop is awesome with starters. Our pen has reeked for a few years now IMO at least.

 

Go back to bed dude.

Bring in Jones!

Alright, Duke did his job, now get Jones for Valencia please

Nate Jones is on.

Bullpen did not reek last year, it was serviceable.

 

Dont let facts get in the way of a made up narrative.

This inning would be a lot easier of Petricka could throw strikes

Ok, I actually agree with how Robin has managed this inning.

Damn, Reddick got the job done. Jones is coming for Valencia I assume.

I assume Robin had Jake start the inning because he wanted a lefty to face Reddick but didn't want to pull Jones.

hopefully it doesnt go 18 innings

Exactly. Smart move. I wouldn't have minded Albers instead, but won't complain

Why Petricka was brought in is beyond me. He's not that good.

To me, Petricka and his 1.41 career WHIP just isn't a late-inning reliever. Way more serviceable in the 6th inning on consecutive days, etc.

hopefully it doesnt go 18 innings

yeah, these bullpen moves would totally backfire

then he overthought it.

Umpire's zone has changed from the middle innings

Throw strikes

then he overthought it.

Why, what's wrong with what he did? You don't want Jones facing Reddick.

Umpire's zone has changed from the middle innings

 

It has kept changing all night long.

there we go jones, one more

2 down. Good job by Jones there. One more to go.

It has changed a lot throughout the game
