Brutal managing by Buck tonight.  What is Nuno doing pitching in a tie game in the 8th inning?  We just had a day off and Vidal Nuno pitched the 8th inning of a tie game.  Let that soak in.

Hart has thrown 10 pitches in the last 6 days.  Is he injured?  Is O'Day injured?

Why was Hardy not PH for in the 9th inning with Kim and Davis on the bench?

Highly questionable bp management here. Hart and O'day must not be available which means there is no reason to be carrying just six relievers. If Nuno is your best option in a 2-2 game in the 8th, you have bullpen issues.

The lack of pinch hitting for Hardy is maddening. Davis, Smith and Kim on the bench and he's batting in the 9th in a one-run game. Ridiculous.

We don't know half of what Buck knows about the physical condition of his guys.    I trust him to make decisions in the long run best interests of his club.  

If the pen has health issues you can't have a 6 man pen. Had Kim or Davis available late and wastes them. 10 day DL, if Darren has an issue or Hart then put them on the DL.

His strategery at times really gets on my nerves.  It always seems like Buck is making pitching moves that have a byzantine relationship to tomorrow's game or next week or next month rather than going full out to win the game right in front of you.  It is just how he managed the playoff game in Toronto, like he was saving something for tomorrow.

If they aren't able to pitch, why aren't they on the DL then?

It is possible one flipping time to ask the manager a strategy question after a game? I mean how hard is it? It is a disservice to any intelligent fan to watch this garbage. I don't expect an intense inquiry but come on.

      Thats how you frame.  You bring the ball up into the zone.  If your glove is set at target and then you go down for the low pitch momentum and gravity will carry the glove and ball lower and out of the zone.  Same with inside/outside pieces, if you show target and move out towards the edge of plate, momentum will carry glove & ball further away. Catchers are taught the show target first, then drop glove down and catch the ball with a motioning coming up.  Same for inside/outside pitch’s, the glove will start further away and then you catch it with a motion bringing it into zone.   It’s much more difficult to do hence the missed ball (a lot of that at lower levels).  The very good framers do it effortlessly and smoothly and can bring the ball into zone for strikes.  Gone are the days of “stick it” & turn your wrist.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By foxfield · Posted

      I like the move.  I would have liked to have gotten a better arm, but I think it's a pretty fair trade.  Philly's probably grade out slightly higher, but which team fairs better this year because of the trade depends on a number of factors. The move does create some space for our young OF, but Pache is likely just a late inning replacement and that likely just shifts the pressure elsewhere. Also think Hays' comments are entirely overblown.  What the hell was he supposed to say getting traded from the #2 team so far to the #1? Lastly, in the same way moving Mancini to Houston was good for us and good for a respected Oriole, I like the opportunity Hays will have in Philly.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      Agreed every player will say that going to a new team.  What they gonna say man that team is awful their organization is run terrible.   It’s always the same cliche responds.  I like our chances that are a team competing or if you go to a bottom team it is I like my chances to play they are an upcoming team with some young talent that I think I can help.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By Mooreisbetter27 · Posted

      Hays I 100% think he was bitter and resentful. About a month ago he had a decently big game and they interviewed him on field and he didn’t even seem happy. Then, Melanie asked him what it was like to be in left field with the (I don’t remember what it was called) Cowser cheering section. He did not seem amused at all. So yeah, prob another reason it was best he was traded.

      Just what @398 to Leftsaid in his post.  I was sitting in my car listening to the whole interview and Law said something like his reporting that Hayes wouldn’t be that missed in the locker room.  It surprised me and Bob never followed up on it.  It was just a quick remark like that.

      Iron also dulls iron. Depends on how they interact.
