The idea that Cole would come in on 2 days rest from the bullpen when he's never done it before is hilariously laughable.
This loss goes on the offense and no one else.

easy to see why Cole is upset.
he wanted the ring so winning a championship would not be part of his free agency decision-making. He could just take the most money (a la Trout) and not care if his new team ever won the WS or even made the playoffs.
but now (if he still wants to win a title) he'll will have to be a little more selective. Has to try to find a contender
If that's the case, you gotta assume the Dodgers and Yankees are the front runners.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
With Cole gone we have to improve offensively to stay elite. Brantley can be traded for a speedier version who only hits 15 hrs, Tucker gets his shot, and crap I dunno, most catchers can't hit. Guess we stuck with too many cleanup hitters and hoping Yordan becomes Ted Williams
No, no I don't.n_touch said:So he was checked out in Game 1? See how easy that isQuote:
Hinch wasn't perfect but I don't put this loss on him. That's absurd.
But I do wonder if this experience will result in a change in approach by Hinch when it comes to playoff rotations.
No rational person expected us to. He's going to want 7/8 years.

sorry grabbed the wrong quote.

Lol keep cuddling with those 1990's cowboy trophies
Well, Hinch brought in Verlander on short rest in the ALDS in '17 which he (Verlander) had never done before...what is the difference between those two seasons?Philip J Fry said:

Yes, some of the fire Hinch posts are the hottest of hot takes tonight...but some of you guys are throwing scorchers out there to defend him.

we need more speed and scrap, we literally have 5 cleanup hitters which is great at times but we had a lot of droughts this year, feast or famine

Oh. Ok.
You don't trade one of your best pure hitters in an attempt to improve your offense.the last of the bohemians said:

I don't even know why this needs to be stated.
I guess someone needs to start the off-season thread so that we can start talking about next season. Not much else to rehash about this game...even though I know we will for three more pages.
I love it...
Cole on 2 days should've been used
But back in the DS it was why the fck was AJ starting JV on short rest?
If Harris doesn't shlt the bed Cole is in. No way he was coming in in the middle of the inning.
Never change TA

Remind me how Verlander did.

And Verlander gave up a game tying home run and wasn't exactly effective.
Pitched 2 2/3 giving up 1 hit and 1 ER and got the win.iBrad said:The Beef01 said:Well, Hinch brought in Verlander on short rest in the ALDS in '17 which he (Verlander) had never done before...what is the difference between those two seasons?Philip J Fry said:

Just lost a lot of respect for Cole. If not all I had. What a ****** move.

Yes because it's the exact same thing to START A pitcher on 3 days rest and put in a guy on 2 days rest in an elimination game.
Horrible take bro.
I feel sorry for anyone that thinks we were resigning Cole... was never even a possibility
Good luck to Cole. I hope he cripples a team for years in the NL.

He came in and gave up a 2-run bomb to give up the lead. Offense bailed him out late.

Again, it's literally not a thing that ownership is attempting. I actually know people in the know on this one.
Let's be real, Hinch had two choices. 1) Let Greinke ride or 2) Bring in Harris. Bringing in Harris isn't a terrible decision as some of you are making it out to be. He's been so so good all playoffs. You don't bring in Cole mid inning and it was too early for Osuna, therefore you go Harris. The pitch that went yard was a good pitch in a good spot, he just got beat. Hindsight is 20/20.
We lost the game by giving up 3 more after that and our offense going dormant at home. We should have had 4 or 5 on Scherzer and been in the drivers seat, but the O lost the game and ultimately the series. Losing all 4 at home is truly unbelievable.
