With the opener in the NL they also can burn pinch hitters earlier.
Webb was getting in some trouble and he is the type that goes to his bullpen a lot I feel like. Obviously he won't now that he got out of it but if that last batter got on I think he would be getting someone warm.MosesHallRAB04 said:
Why the hell would he do that?
I would literally reach back and give a pitch everything I got, practically shit my pants just to hit 88 and Graterol looks like he’s yawning while throwing 102

Brandon Crawford must have made a deal with the Prince of Darkness for the offensive season he's had.

How stupid is Cora? He playing the matchup game? Banking on Sale having a bounce back performance against a team that has historically hit well against him in the playoffs? Eovaldi vs Garcia favors them quite a bit.

When Hatcher hit that home run I was convinced the first Houston championship was undeniable. God, I still hate the '86 Mets so much. I remember the first time I had a video game that had the '86 Mets and '86 Astros available. I threw at Dykstra, Hernandez, Carter, and Strawberry in the first inning to get out the latent trauma.
He was great in the regular season, but you've got to remember the Mets had an all-time great lineup. Two HOFers in Carter and Hernandez and the best young power hitter of the day along with some salty pain-in-the-ass vets like Backman, Dykstra, Mookie, and Ray Knight.Nino Brown said:helloimustbegoing said:

If we would have had a closer we would have. Dave Smith had 9.00 ERA that series and blown save in both 3 &6.
2.56 career ERA and dude ****ed us twice in series.
Stuck with Knepper too long. Should have brought Smith in to start the inning.Nino Brown said:helloimustbegoing said:

Cora was told Sale figured it out in a bullpen season yesterday and the last time he heard that was David Price in 2018 and we all know how that went
Urias' next AB will likely be sometime in the 8th inning. I assume Roberts will pinch hit for him no matter what (unless its 0 on with 2 outs and they have a lead)bearkatag15 said:That is something that Roberts will have to deal with in later innings if Urias is dealing. Runners on in a tie game and Urias is up to bat in the 6th inning. Does he pinch hit him or let him hit? Easier decision if you have your full bullpen still and Urias already got you 5 or 6 innings.gambochaman said:

Interesting watching Dodger fans rooting for Betts. It's almost like he wasn't one of the biggest cheaters on the 2018 Red Sox.
