vs. RAYS 9/18

[scOtt]

I know Im in the minority

But when can we bench Schoop

0-4 today? less than a .190 avg for 2 months?

His defense and arm are wonderful. But his range is not good

[JohnBKistler]

Don't like these match ups. Souza saw 10 pitches from Zach on Friday.

[MdSooner]

Buck being considered one of the top managers in baseball should show people that baseball managers are the dumbest coaches in professional sports. You want to see a real great coach? Watch Bill Belichick coach a NFL game or Gregg Poppovich coach a NBA game. Those guys are great coaches.

Yeah, and they also have great players

do you know the history of poppoivich?

It isn't good

[JohnBKistler]

Yellow alert.

[Chavez Ravine]

I don't think it does.

But we are at the point in the general where the effect of one run on win expectancy makes it worth a slight decrease in run expectancy in the given inning.

I also wonder about the moving window used to calculate the expectancy. It seems like a few ticks up in strikeout and home run rates could change things.

Zach needs a day off! 4 out the last 5 days I think.

Shows what I know. Go Zach!

Who you want there? Flaherty?

He isn't sure who, but not Schoop.

I've asked him before.

How much better production do you think we would get out of Flaherty or Janish in his place?

What history?

Also, it would be nice if our hitters didn't swing at every pitch.

It's pretty close either way.

To me you don't bunt there since a bunt is far from an assured outcome.

I'd have pinch hit Wieters and put Pena in as a DR.

[JohnBKistler]

Hit too slow. Good hold by Schoop.

[Dark Helmet]

He isn't sure who, but not Schoop.

I vote for Altuve.
