The premise of this thread seems to be that DT does not want his SP's to give him 6+ IP. That is a completely goofy idea, and I assume that everybody knows it. If DT makes a decision to yank a guy before then, it's because he sees something that outweighs his hope/desire/expectation/prayer that the SP can give him 6+ that day. One of the things I like about DT is that he generally answers questions about why he did whatever he did. So, I'm not sure what the mystery is.

If you think he made a mistake and should have been thinking the way you think watching TV, instead of how he thinks in the dugout, well that's something else. But let's not pretend that he doesn't wanna stretch guys out to give him 6+ IP. He wants that *more* than any other single thing that he's unlikely to get this season. It's what's gonna give him ulcers.

According to here, the Mexican League runs from mid-March with the playoffs running through mid-August. That would not jive with what you have. Thus he would not be ready for extended innings early.[...].

Probably just an honest mistake. He probably meant the Dominican Winter Ball League, which runs from November through February when coupled with the Caribbean Series which Alfredo also participated in.

Whew... nice save Dave! For a minute there I thought one of our pitchers was going to give us 6 innings. ;)

So when Mark was left in and given up runs or more hits during the inning, would you have came here and posted "Ugh, Dave! He was over 100 pitches and it's the longest he has pitched since 2006 and it's the start of the season!"

Or something like that?

I say it was the right move tonight. Don't push your luck too much on Hendrickson. Plus he wasn't really stretched out too much in the spring was he?

Yeah, I don't mind the move too much... it has its logic with Burrell coming up... but if Baez doesn't come out for the next inning I will go ballistic.

We had a 4 run cushion. We should not care what happens to Hendrickson as he is quite expendable. Pitch him until his arm falls off as long as it saves the bullpen for our younger starters when we will need them later in the season...

I just can't understand this thread - especially at the beginning of the season. If you look around the league you see just about EVERY manager unwilling to stretch pitchers past the 6th inning - even in starts where the SP is pitching lights out.

This is basic baseball people!!

just want to point out that this makes you a heartless human being if you dont' care about the health of a pitcher.

As others have pointed out in -this very thread- it's early in the season and -other managers are doing the same thing-

Obviously I'm exaggerating, as I don't wish any harm on Hendrickson, but the point is he's fodder. As long as he pitches 6-7 innings everytime out we shouldn't care how many runs he gives up.

This season isn't about winning, it's about treading water until the calvary get here.

      The Braves series, June 11-13

      It's pretty hard to say definitively that the bolded is true.  It might be, but there's also the loss in ability you have to account for.  30 year olds are slower than 26 year olds too.  Maybe their game knowledge and practice have made it so they can overcome the meager loss in bat speed/athleticism over that time span.  But the picture is a bit muddy.   I also don't think the aging issue is limited to people in their mid-late 30s.  Bat speed peaks at like 24 or 25 based on the data we have right now on it, and after 31 starts falling off fairly fast.  Obviously this is population data and individuals are likely to see different curves.   But outside of the stars that have a lot of ability to lose, it's becoming pretty clear that once you hit your early 30s it's pretty hard to maintain your skills without all the "help" that is extensively tested for.   I think that even for early-30s players teams are much more willing to drop them over giving them expensive market-rate deals, especially since they can abuse young talent so readily.

      After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website.

      If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?

      Heyman on deadline targets

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc
