Real "*record scratch* so you're probably wondering how I ended up here" vibes from Acuna on that ball -
White Sox with 3 in the first on Arizona Reds trail Cleveland by 2 in the 5th Marlins/Mets rain delay
-
headfirst slide by Seiya might've beaten that throw
-
I didn't see anything in particular, and thinking on it I doubt it's a singular thing. Outside of the matchups bit that you mentioned, maybe he's battling some fatigue, maybe they want Taillon and Stroman to stay on consistent schedules, maybe it's a hedge that if Steele has to pitch Sunday that Hendricks can still start WC game 1(since he only has 1 start either way as you said)
-
McMahon chopped a ball to first that seemed to end the game, but the umpires convened and ruled it a foul ball. Replay showed it barely grazed his foot on the bounce.
-
They'll also face both Senga and Keller (and probably Oviedo).
-
Adding on to the Canario->Tauchman->PCA decision, is Mastrobuoni that much better a defender than Wisdom that it was worth it to set up an almost certain LHRP facing him and PCA?
-
Welcome!
-
Absolutely not, even on zero pitches his command is a tossup and he'd likely face PH + top of the order. Leiter/Cuas/Smyly/Merryweather should all be available, gotta trust 2 of those to get 6 outs (plus the chance of more offense)
-
Starting Canario to pinch hit with Tauchman and then pinch run with PCA in the 6th feels like being a bit too fine
-
No, baserunning isn't counted in OPS+ or wRC+ (the most common '100 = average' metrics you'll see quoted. Fangraphs' 'Off' counting value does include baserunning, and Hoerner is 62nd of 135 qualified hitters.
-
Rivas clears the bases with a double, tie game
-
Pirates with bases loaded, no outs in the 7th...
-
Pittsburgh dangling some hope, cut it to 9-6 on the Reds after 6
-
-
Good thinking smart guy
-
Welcome!
-
one weird trick to score runs when you can't see the ball
-
Shadows seem tough today, wouldn't be surprised if neither team does much the rest of the way
-
extremely dumb throw decision by Hayes there, yeesh
-
Brewers put up a 12 spot on the Marlins in the 2nd
-
we will rise from the ashes like a phoenix, on the wings of Friday Cubs
-
Smyly in appearances of less than 2 IP this year: 10.2 IP, 2 R, 17/6 K/BB, 1 HR
-
Taillon has a 3.57 ERA in his last 14 starts. 80.2 IP too so nearly 6 IP per.
-
The Cubs having the 2nd most 20 HR hitters of any team(and Happ sitting on 19!) is extremely funny to me
