5/1/24 - CHC (Imanaga) @ NYM (Butto) 6:10 MSN

Very good Craig/yency

[Crusader]

He was using Leiter as the lefty specialist, and switched to Almonte for the righties.

[Soul]

That was impressive.

[chibears55]

Whew.... Almonte

Can we get a run or three here 🤦‍♂️

[PeanutPunch33]

What is the logic of taking out a DEALING southpaw who is at ~85 pitches, a bunch of lefties coming up in the 8th, and an already terrible/depleted bullpen?  I don't usually question King Counsell and glad it worked out (so far), but it's odd?  

[Irrelevant Dude]

Please add on here.  Neris in a 1-0 game is very scary.

I thought the same but it worked out.

[CubinNY]

Pornstache pumping gas again. 

[Derwood]

They make JD and Boog sit uncomfortably close to each other

No days off, likely gonna need him to go 7 again when they play SD 🤷‍♂️

I'm an old school fan and I'm beginning to see these SP just dont throw 90+ pitches anymore or are far and few in between. 

[UMFan83]

Really tough to watch Busch hit lately. Well all of the offense really I suppose. 

[Derwood]

Swanson can't hit the low inside pitch, the medium away pitch, the low away pitch....

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why does Mervis keep using the bat that has a hole in it?  Get a new one!

[UMFan83]

Welp, Neris with a 1 run lead facing the heart of the order

[Soul]

Oh boy.

 

”hold everything.”

[chibears55]

Say your prayers...

It Neris makes me NerVis time

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

NERIS

[JHBulls]

C’mon Neris, clean 9th please.

[LBiittner]

I cant watch

[CubinNY]

One

[LBiittner]

But I am

[UMFan83]

Lmao. Not allowed to be easy

[CubinNY]

HBP - probably best outcome there

[Soul]

Hmmm….

The bullpen is neither terrible or depleted, and Shota has to pitch again in 5 days when he's used to pitching every 6.
