Baker only threw 4 pitches in the 8th. I would have sent him out there for the ninth. Not one to pick on Hyde, but I thought it was strange to trot Bazardo out there for the ninth. But….We got away with it

I would rather have Baker available for tomorrow then have him pitch a 9th inning up 5.   It shouldn’t matter who he brought in the 9th as anyone out there should be able to get 3 outs before giving up 5 runs.  When your mop up guys can’t even do that you need to get some more guys then can.  The biggest problem people have had with Hyde is he uses his top guys a lot but that is because his other guys have been so terrible.

I HATED the decision to leave Tate in at the start of the 9th.  They’d already had Lopez warming up.  Just bring him in.  I would hsve guaranteed you that he was going to have to come in mid-inning if

One more thing.  The odds of Gillaspie stranding the ghost runner were definitely not good.  You don’t play for one run in the top of the tenth if you’re bringing him in.

It was a dumb post. I know it was dumb. I’m just having a day today. Sorry.

Apparently Soler was out of the game and it would have been their light hitting catcher, so that means you leave Coulombe in and the move is even more indefensible.

Their light hitting catcher has a .994 OPS vs LHP for his career. That's actually higher than Arraez. Faced with two bad matchups, go with the one that doesn't burn an extra pitcher and also put the go ahead run on first.

So change pitchers…

That doesn't solve the problem of the extra guy on base, Hyde was trying to conserve pitchers, and did we even have anyone warming up? They might also have an emergency C on their roster that we don't know about?

IMO, Arraez is the last person in the entire league I want up there with the tying run on second in the 9th inning. I don’t mind taking the risk of putting the go-ahead run  on first to face someone who has a far less chance of getting a hit.

Fair enough. I was somewhat surprised by the call myself. Just saying it was not a no brainer/indefensible/fireable offense etc. Especially since it worked.

I said to myself at the time, man if Coulombe doesn't get an out here, OH will explode. It worked out - fun fact - same number of pages second guessing Hyde as debating Frazier. OH Rocks!!!! Let's Beat The Dodgers!!!!!

 

 

Just wait until Frazier is our DH tonight

Is there ever a situation where you bring in Cano to get get you out of the 6th? If so, was that one?

They need a "stopper"

 

Not that Hyde would use a stopper correctly anyway, especially since they don't let guys pitch 3 days in a row

I actually thought Baker threw the ball well.  He had Hayward 0-2 and threw 4 pitchers pitches and Heyward spit on all 4 of them.   He gets ahead of Taylor and never really got another fastball above the zone for rp the chase.     I’m going to give the Dodger hitters, especially, Heyward the credit.   Would have loved to see GRod get through the 6th.    Hicks should have had Freeman’s ball but it’s partly GRods fault for such a hittable pitch.    Win some.  Lose some.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.

      Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
