We spent Foley for 2 outs in the 7th ?

[1984Echoes]

Yep.

On both counts.

I can't argue against it.  Its one of those gray area decisions.  There's the pitch threshold.  I can see with a day off tomorrow deploying whatever bullpen resources are available today, mixing and matching righty & lefty.

Just mow 'em down to end the game and I'm cool.

Using your closer in the 7th inning though? I really hope we don't see Miller in the 9th inning.

Day off tomorrow = moot point.

Wentz in the 8th...

Lange in the 9th.

I think it's actually the PARKER MEADOWS DEMOTED EFFECT!!!

[1984Echoes]

That was a warning shot to all the underperformers on the team...

Just a WAG...

[Tigermojo]

More runs!

[Motor City Sonics]

Okay,  6 insurance runs, please.   

[1984Echoes]

With a stacked lefty lineup Hinch might stick with Wentz in the 9th...

Or go to Holton instead of Lange...

Just guessing...

[SoCalTiger]

2 free runs today. Maybe 3. Will it bite us ?

They have not named anyone the closer, have they?    Aren't they going with the hot hand until they aren't?

At least he wasn't hitting leadoff.

[Motor City Sonics]

What happened to Baez?   What went wrong?        

[gehringer_2]

you could have bet the farm that the 3-1 pitch to Torkelson was going to be exactly what it was - outside fastball. But would Tork think the game and sit outside?  Of course not - he gotta get something to pull. So instead he's forced to swing at 3-2 out of the zone that he can't get too. Baseball players have to be the dumbest athletes.

Fireman Chet Kelly from EMERGENCY! coming in to play closer today. 

If he puts the first guy on base, I'm gonna need Roy DeSoto and Johnny Gage !

[Tigeraholic1]

Chafin takes one last drag of his Marloboro, puts it out on the back of his glove. Slams bullpen door open....

[Tigermojo]

Chess master 

[oblong]

blech

[lordstanley]

Dan Dickerson did not expect that to go out.

[casimir]

Ugh....

[Motor City Sonics]

**** you, Hinch.   Got cute again, didn't ya? 

 

Reese Olson should punch everyone on that team right in the mouth.

[SoCalTiger]

Hinch can kiss my ass glad he spent Foley in the   seventh. The chess master in his own mind.
