I can argue both sides of this but Boyd has struggled for the last 2 months and has been rocked vs Milwaukee, a team that’s had success against lefties. Hes not the ace or workhorse you can count on to pitch on 4 days rest and guarantee you as good of if not a better outcome than Rea at this point in the season who only threw 15 pitches on Wednesday or a fully rested Assad. Whatever small difference it makes yesterday it definitely increases your chances in games 2 and 3 and hopefully a game 4 and 5. It’s all moot if the offense doesn’t score runs anyways and Nico makes costly errors.

I lean starting Rea without the benefit of hindsight even on 3 days rest only throwing 15 pitches. But it’s still 3 days rest. It’s two sh!tty ends of the same stick. the more I think about it the stronger I side with starting Rae independently of the outcome.
-
Would you have waved the white flag and went with Rae or Assad, who wasn’t on the playoff roster? There’s really no clear cut alternative, especially with a bullpen that’s gassed. I personally would’ve went with option b at the time but you’re conceding the first game of the series and hoping you take 3/4 vs a team with the best record in baseball. The optics look bad no matter what you choose, To your overall point though pitching Boyd was a desperation measure and close to waving the white flag even without hindsight to be fair.

This game was going to be a loss no matter what. They have no viable 4th option at starting pitcher and a taxed bullpen from the wild card series.

I’d love to know how rare it is to out homer a team 3-0 and trail by 6 in the 8th inning or at any point in a game.

There’s a surplus of pretty good players and a deficit of any perennial all star talents.
-
The opposite of the Phillies basically. It creates a nice floor for total wins.
-
And the cost of Gore was reportedly both Horton and Shaw.
-
Who were the big TOR arms even available?
-
Behind a defense with the second best defense fWAR in baseball, playing half their games in one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball behind one of the easiest second half SOSs. All of the advanced stats point to the pitching staff being mediocre.
-
Soroka can only throw fastballs for strikes,
-
Losing to The horsefeathers brewers in a playoff series would really sour my memory of this team.
-
I agree with all of that. He’s been solid but his peripherals have caught up to him a bit and they don’t have a true stopper in the rotation with Horton sidelined. A bunch of 3 starters probably won’t cut it.
-
That wasn’t younger and cheek enough?
-
You’re correct. Without his first half performance we’d have less wins.
-
We all knew Boyd was too good to be true.
-
Those last 2 hits weren’t even on bad pitches. It’s like they have the pitch com bugged with a Bluetooth headset in their helmets.
-
That was fun for almost 10 minutes.
-
Anyone know where I can stream this game?

I think Shaw is too high in the lineup.
-
There’s really no pitching matchup advantages with the Horton injury. Just like the padres series they’ll have to limit home runs and let the gloves do the work. Is Woodruff going to pitch?
-
Brewers rust is the only possible matchup advantage today and that’s with the hope that it offsets their rest. If Boyd can’t find the strike zone they’re in big trouble.
-
I take it every pen arm Wil be available tomorrow?
