Roadtrip: Mets @ Braves 6/17/13

Yabbut, both intuition and numbers suggest that Freeman is the one guy you don't want Gee going after with the game on the line.

Game was on the line.

Freeman destroyed the ball in 2 of 3 trips to that point. I thought as the winning run he probably shouldn't have faced him.

Terry is an idiot..

[Edgy MD]

As somebody who slept through most of the game, I disagree with his choice also, but he'd be called an idiot if he lifted Gee and the bullpen coughed it up too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yup. As usual the failure to win the game rests on the offense. Were it not for Gee's own RBI they'd have lost 2-0.

All Gee's splits tell you that it was red alert time, above 76 pitches - .897 ops against left handed hitters - .783 ops against JESUS FUCKING WEPT MAKE THE MOVE> Numbers skewed by his earlier starts where he was still getting up to snuff, and mostly small sample stuff. It's a sticky situation though, because I bet Terry uses Parnell in a normal situation, and while you're supposed to manage for the game you're playing and all, tomorrow IS going to be rough with two games and a rookie starter (potential or not, rookie starter). Of course, Parnell does not give up home runs.

They were Dillon Gee's career splits.
If you were to look at this year alone, you'd be correct in saying that it's a small sample, but you'd also have to say they're actually horrendous
over 76 pitches 1.096 OPS against
left handed hitters .912 OPS against.

Seriously allowing him to face Freeman was a really bad call. I'm not second guessing here, I had a hunch about the numbers and looked them up, they screamed out at me.

If you're Terry Collins you should have that figured out
