If he’s available to pitch tonight, why the hell did we go with Gillaspie He's gonna say RHP for matchups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda just brought in the better pitcher. 1 minute ago, Beysbol said: That's exactly why Akin should have been in there. Just a complete blunder by Hyde to put Gillaspie in that spot at Yankees Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the days of bringing in a Brian Matusz to get out a tough lefty and then exit the game are over. You have to expect your LOOGY to face at least one left-handed bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has Akin and a bunch of question marks because he didn’t want to use the other guys that been overworked. You are going to have to get some outs from either Gillespie, Duplan, or Sulser. He tried to use one of them at the bottom of the order which is much less dangerous. You want Akin vs the top and middle of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshagge3 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It was Kiner-Felafa, Marwin, and Trevino. That's a stretch of hitters that would look bad in Detroit's lineup. I don't think Hyde felt he was taking that much of a gamble using Gillaspie and saving Akin for the top of the order. Logan was just that bad.

eddie83 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 After the fact I wish he had used Akin earlier but I get what he did. Pen is on fumes. Has to ask different guys to get outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
