I think you’re referring to a pop up that the brewers catcher bobbled and it looked like adames (I think) caught it just before it touched the ground but it actually hit the ground. Got screwed on that one too
I think that's logical. In my head I'd rather flip it and throw Spence tomorrow. If we're trying to avoid downside risk, I don't want to end up in a situation where Chuck gets rocked tomorrow and suddenly the season is on the line with Spence who hasn't pitched in 3.5 weeks. But my guess is Snit goes Chuck.
I'm glad the game in Philly are day games too. Would have been bullshit to give them weekend night games. Sunday back in Atlanta is at 430?
I throw Chuck if for no other reason than I hope we didn’t just pay $20M for a 39 year old who we can’t trust to be a third starter in the postseason. I know that’s not a great reason by itself, but add in the fact that Morton has a strong postseason resume and that Strider is coming back from an injury and it just makes more sense to me that it has to be Morton. I’d also rather give Strider one more day of rest.
If Strider is throwing on Saturday, I’d obviously much rather it be for the clinching game than facing elimination. Either way, huge spot for a rookie making his postseason debut and speaks volumes of the team’s trust in him
I saw him last night but couldn’t place him because the flow was covered up but I guess Jake Marisnick gets to hang out in the dugout. It’s a good flex on Philly actually. “Oh, you’ve got a soaking wet guy? Well, so do we.”
Rosenthal thinks we bring him out of the pen and potentially use him in multiple games. Also says it’s almost certain Philly throws a bullpen game Saturday.
he might have a short leash but I'd be pretty shocked if Bailey Falter didn't start Saturday. if Strider doesn't start, who would start game 4? Odorizzi?
Broke: Start Morton Game 3 Woke: Start Strider Game 3 Bespoke: Morton and Strider both pitch in Game 3
I’d hope we know it can’t be Odo. Could be one of the lefties, who have experience as an opener in the postseason, in Minter or Lee.
they’re not gonna come out and say it but they don’t have any plans to start strider as anything more than an opener. he just isn’t stretched out enough. which is scary!
I saw that earlier. TV absolutely does Kenley's pitching a disservice because everyone describes him as a nightmare when he's good.
