I'd trust UIrias more to bunt than Frazier to make a play on defense.

 

Going to be hard to find someone to disagree with that.  Lol

Hyde did not.

I mean if you don't that only leaves Pickles and Sportsguy.

Did we win? 

My guess is he felt Frazier as a left handed bat had a better chance to move the runner with a bunt. And, Frazier may be a better bunter with more experience in that role. Also, I think Montcastle is playing now for his future on the team. So give him a shot with us up one and two outs. 
Yes Frazier's hiccup made that last play close but having The Arm at short saved him and us.

If he thought Urias could get a bunt down he doesn’t take him out. You don’t score you are at a huge disadvantage. 
 

Felix gets almost 2/3 rds of his outs from a K. Only second DP all year

SG is going to agree with you.  Not sure about Pickles.   I get a bad feeling every time I see a play at 2B and Frazier there.  No range, no arm, and now he might have the yips.

I leave Mateo in there because if we leave the 10th tied, Mateo will be at second base.

Poor pitch selection and it worked out.   The fastball up was unhittable.  The first fastball to Lowe was poorly located and he missed it.   The splitter was flat and he hit it hard right into a DP.  A little luck never hurts just like the line drive DP off Cano to end the 7th.

Hard to disagree with many business today, but Cano hasn’t been good in awhile. And I hate his stare down of batters. That’s just garbage.

Almost cost us too. Luckily Gunnar has an absolute cannon and he was accurate this time.

Ben McDonald astutely noticed tonight that Cano's arm slot has been a little lower in the past couple of outings than it was a few weeks ago. He thinks it could possibly signify that Cano's arm could possibly be starting to get tired.

Ben is late to the party. I mentioned it here a week ago.

I didn't see that post, but yes that's impressive that you noticed it a week ago.

Barnes got a hit on a high heater yesterday. I don’t have an issue with selection. Wish it was down a little more. Kept it away.

In playoffs

Mateo isn’t starting 

no ghost runner  

 

I don’t know think we see these circumstances in October.
