Platoon him with all three.* Or bump Stewart from DH and make Taylor the DH. Taylor's been a starter in the past, Stewart is a consummate backup/Quadruple-A guy who will likely falter soon enough.**

And the cruelest of hooks for Manaea.



Hey, managers, there is nothing magic about 100 pitches!


It's a weird fad. The more they try to conserve and limit pitchers, the more they seem to get hurt and need season-ending surgeries.



I remember when it was 120, obviously. That seemed like a good standard.

Manaea out after 101 pitches and 1/3 of an inning short of qualifying for a W

Agree with the move or not, I like that Mendoza is confident enough to not let the circumstances dictate a non-move.

After review from our home office on Mars, the call is overturned.


Is that Conforto HBP?

My in-game said he was HBP and Soler was coming up with the bases loaded.

I wish it was a fad. It's closer to a rule from where I sit.

Yeah, it took 10 minutes for some reason to figure out what was obvious from the get-go, that the ball ticked off of the knob of his bat.

I just don't know why they stick to it like it is the be-all, end-all. There is absolutely no flexibility. That's what gets me. If a guy is having a good game and has something left in the tank ... why not keep a good thing going?



Speaking of keeping a good thing going, here's hoping for an easy 6th.

In the Mets/Yankees World Series of 2000, Joe Torre hooked Denny Neagle after 4 2/3 innings in a much tighter game (3-to-2). There was nobody on and he had only thrown 73 pitches, but Piazza was up and Torre didn't trust his pitcher.



it seemed like a minor scandal at the time. Now it's the most common thing in the world.
