Now this is over managing for the sake of it. Modern baseball is so stupid sometimes. Cade was at 76 pitches.

 

 

Horowitz hit the ball 100+ mph in the previous two ABs. No problem pulling Cade there.

berry has had some not so great moments this year, but that send was fine.

I reckon I would have let Cade start the 7th, but fair enough.

I feel like you might have been able to get another full inning out of Horton. An inning you could have saved the bp arms on.

I agree completely, but I've noticed that they keep Cade consistently in that 75-88 range for pitch count since he's been here.  Maybe still easing him in so he isn't fatigued come October.  I wish they at least kept him in to finish the 6th though

Once again, Dansby folds in a big spot.

horsefeathers hell Dansby

[PackLandVA]

Was just gonna ask if it were wise for Dansby to bunt.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Dammit man

[soccer10k]

Come on Dansby.

[Derwood]

Dansby is having one of the worst seasons with RISP I've ever witnessed

[abuck1220]

good thing swanson is batting ahead of busch today. 

[Chicago Al]

A bunt from Dansby would’ve been nice…

[PeanutPunch33]

I know Counsell hates bunting but I don't see how that isn't the right move at this juncture of the game.  Especially with how good the bullpen is playing.  Now the inning is over

1st and 2nd 0 outs, 4 pitches later, inning over

[profisme]

If Swanson is up and there are less than 2 outs with RISP, it should be automatic bunt at this point. 

[profisme]

Dansby with RISP is the harbinger of sorrow.

Can’t tell a vet to bunt as it’s offensive or something like that………

[Tryptamine]

There is no way you can justify having Dansby this high in the order.  Before today he was hitting .187 with men on base and .147 with RISP.

Bunt or sit the next day. It should be about helping the team win. Period.

Should he be pinch hit for if there are runners in scoring position? 😆 

[PeanutPunch33]

Got lucky on that strike call lol that was like a foot outside 

[JHBulls]

One of the best double plays in baseball.

He certainly shouldn't be hitting 5th where he's going to get a ton of those opportunities.
