was he a better option against Didi than Devinski was?

Exactly

Devo was the best option facing DiDi the lefty.

All year we've been bltching about Devo not getting the lefties given his numbers against them. We all said 'No need for a lefty specialist when Devo can get them out' and 'Why pull Devo when a lefty comes up when he has such good numbers against them'.

Well Hinch gave him to Devo and he blew it. Yet now the blame is on Hinch? Blame Devo for throwing DiDi the thigh high heater over the plate for a fckin triple.
Or blame Luhnow for not getting a for real LOOGY at the deadline.

Dolittle was out there for the taking and the Nats grabbed him.

Zach Britton... well we all know what happened there.


I may sound like a broken record, but I get blamed for being a "Luhnow apologist" or a "non-stop Hinch Supporter" all the time, so I don't care. The bullpen was not enhanced at the deadline at all. It could have been and for a relatively cheap price (thinking Dolittle here).

Hinch basically just confirmed on the radio that they put in devenski because they liked that "slot" of the lineup for him.

This is where sabremetrics goes wrong. Should have let lance keep going.
Or it can be where Chris Devenski didn't execute. Dude was all over the place. Devo is culpable here also.

Believe me, there were many cuss words thrown out by me towards Luhnow last night for not bolstering our BP....

I feel like everyone is looking for someone to blame. The players play. Give them realistic expectations and it's fair to expect them to meet it most of the time. No one was asking Devo to strike out the '27 Yankees 3-4-5 hitters 3 innings a row. He was brought in to hold a 3 run lead. He didn't make it happen. He was likely our best option. It sucks.Good thing it was game 4 and not 7.

And I still argue (and feel I've been proven right) if it's one or the other (RP or SP) then we nailed it with SP. What didn't work out how we wanted was Lance in the 2nd half. If he's near the same guy as he was in the first half then I think we have Morton or Peacock as a strong bullpen arm that would have been used regularly and better equipped come in for the postseason.

And do not forget Feliz imploding this year. He has the type of stuff to be a shut down bullpen arm but took major steps back this year.

That is one thing we missed on this year. I thought between Feliz, Martes, and Paulino one of them would be a key factor in our run. I also thought Harris would be big too. Now you can't trust him at all in a meaningful situation.

Live video of batting practice if anyone interested in checking it out.

We do that? Never woulda known.

And holy crap I was just joking. Didn't really think we wouldn't take BP.

Had a friend who sent me a video of about 4 guys sitting behind him repeatedly yelling "**** the Astros" directed at him.

Of course, they were completely silent until the game was tied, then were yelling that almost non stop until after the game

Ok. If my students will hurry up and finish their test I can go home and be in front of the Tv all game rather than sitting in my ****ing car trying to listen to crappy staticky 790 trying my hardest to take one for the team and not be the jinx. It wasn't me. One of you other sorry bastiches must have gone to the bathroom at the wrong time or gotten up from the couch when you weren't supposed to or scratched the wrong itch.

I had tests Monday and Tuesday night. No test tonight. Might as well bet your life savings on us winning tonight with those statistics!

I swear. Some of you just do not understand how any of this works.

I can't wait for the influx of newbies tonight to really screw this up.

And I'm about to have to rip exams out of hands. This is going down to the wire.

I really think whoever wins today, will win the whole series. I hope it is us that comes out on top... and I think it will be.

Going into the series I thought we'd start off 2-0, and then go 1-2 at yankee stadium and win it in the 6th game.

I can just imagine math guy ripping away a test from some kid and then saying "Chill out Roger. You're going to fail this class anyways"
