Too safe. You go with your best lineup. I think that's Dickerson over Pearce against a RHP. The odds of Jones coming out mid game are miniscule, and if it did happen, you just slide McLouth to center and put Pearce in LF. I don't get it unless Pearce has some kind of history against Zimmerman which seems doubtful or ridiculously small.

Yup. You've got a guy who's been relatively hot with the bat and you sit him down for some weird reason. I really don't get this one.

Well, it looks like Jordan Zimmerman doesn't have much of a changeup, so maybe Flaherty has a chance tonight. Without looking it up, I'm assuming Pearce has some sort of career success with Zimmerman or Dickerson is hurt. Can't really figure that one out.

It says Pearce is 2 for 5 against Zimmerman.

Well, OK, unless the three outs were line drives, I'm thinking that's fairly worthless. We'll see what happens, I guess. Maybe there's something more that Buck knows.

The Yankees' "scouting report" on the best way to pitch to Tim McCarver before the 1964 World Series ........ "Koufax struck him out with letter-high fastballs."

That's great advice, if you can throw letter-high fastballs like Koufax.

I have a feeling this is Pearce last chance to produce. This is the time of year he usually gets released.
Pearce has been released a grand total of once in his career, and it happened in March (of last year).

The O's DFA'd him on July 21. On September 25, 2012, the Yankees designated Pearce for assignment in order to make room on the roster to activate outfielder Brett Gardner from the 60 day DL.

Ugh. Why Pearce? He sucks. Why not Dickerson? Stupid, stupid, stupid...
It does seem odd? Is Dickerson hurt?
What about Valencia too? Rather see him than Pearce really.

That bottom third looks eerily like earlier in the season. Not great.

I just clicked on "go to first new post" and got a steady diet of this armchair managing ;)

Just goes to show what we fans know :D

Not bad. You're no OFFNY, but not bad. :laughlol:

P.S. On second thought, maybe it's a GOOD THING that you're no OFFNY. :o

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
