    At least re: lineup construction/"explanations" that make me want to scream at someone, anyone, everyone... he definitely has that Young Jerry Manuel smell about him

    Edgy MD wrote: =bmfc1 post_id=59698 time=1617713004 user_id=73] Counterargument: Jake only would have pitched one more inning and Castro didn't allow a run in the 7th so taking Jake out one inning too early didn't cost them the game as May would have likely started the 8th regardless of who pitched the 7th. I'm not sure if I buy it but I'm throwing it out there for consideration. I don't know if any of these things come to pass, but I'm bringing deGrom out for the seventh, and hoping he stays effective enough that I can bring him out for the eighth and ninth too. The fewer the moving parts, the less likely something breaks. If he doesn't, I go with the next-best option. It ain't about the bullpen. It's about the commitment to the bullpen. It's the Peterson Principle. No matter how competent your relievers are, you will promote them to the point of their incompetence.

    He was working about as efficiently as a strikeout-y starting pitcher works. 77 pitches through 6 is less than 13 pitches per inning. Just caught a little of the Rojas explanation, and it was full of "maybe" when trying to explain. Like, "maybe that was the reason behind that decision." Like, maybe it's my English-major close-reading-reflex bullshit, but it almost sounds as if it wasn't quite his decision, and he wasn't privy to/couldn't quite explain the reasoning behind it.

    Like I said, I know what he said before the game. And, like, it's not like they were "high-stress" innings, either. So unless his philosophy of pitcher management changed in-game...

    =Centerfield post_id=59659 time=1617676397 user_id=65] Didn't impress me at all last year. Fucked up game 1 badly. Didn't start Dom. Pulled deGrom too early. Pulled Castro too early. Loup over Lucchesi. Formula over hot hand. I've seen enough. Let's get Beltran.

    "Jake's pitching great!" "Yeah, but let's take him out because he hasn't pitched in a game in 2 weeks and it's a long season." "Uh, shouldn't we try and win this game? He's cruising!" "We'll be fine." Here's the thing: Rojas was asked during his afternoon press conference about deGrom, and he was explicit that Jake's pitch count was going to be around 100 today. The words were said, and all.

    For all the JD Davis agita whenever a ball got popped up to him... if not for the two-run error by Guillorme, this ballgame continues, at least.
  8. LWFS
    Dammit.

    Oh, boy

    Not fascinatingly beefy, but still. Wait for yours, buddy. I like Piss Missile's chances better.
  11. LWFS
    COULD'VE USED THAT, LIKE, FIVE INNINGS AGO, BUDDY
  12. LWFS
    On the plus side... it's not our CLOSER blowing this game
  13. LWFS
    Welp

    "May is... a fascinating guy." -a clearly-smitten Gary, like, five or six times this inning
  15. LWFS
    He's hitting 'em. Just, y'know, AT people. (Same with Cisco.)
  16. LWFS
    EFFORTLESS white hot heat, no less. Come the FUCK on. Also the recipient of a come-the-FUCK-on alert from this PA system: Kevin F. Pillar.
  17. LWFS
    100 at the knees. Jeezzzzalou. These Phils players are starting to look just... bereft.

  19. LWFS
    Right? Like Familia comes in and gives up three straight hits in the 8th to blow it, or something. On the other hand... Jake throwing that kind of slider after handling the Phils through two go-rounds with just the fastball... it's just, like, mean.

    Oh, that guy's not retired. And neither is this guy. THAT'll come in another year or two. For now, he hobbles along after a protracted absence, then finds balance in late July: 21 G, 30 IP, 2-4, 3.78 ERA/1.10 WHIP, 10.05 K/2.85 WHIP

  24. LWFS
    All part of the plan.
  25. LWFS
    I think he gets more of, like, the Trachseloma/Joe Niekritis, where he ends up with more wins than you'd think. 15-7, 4.23 ERA/1.21 WHIP, 9.1 K/9, 2.9 BB/9 in 28 starts.
