My bad, I was thinking you meant pulling him. Yes.He could have IBB'd him
There's a Hal joke to be made here.Its not Cash. The Rays don't let him make these decisions alone. The analytics didn't work out.
I agree. I would have let Snell pitch for sure. Guy was dominant.That's 23 ABs for Snell for 3rd time through order.
It was a bad move.
That dribbler to left was smoked, man.That’s colossally stupid. Snell was not being touched.
Not defending it. That's how they roll.That’s colossally stupid. Snell was not being touched.
Nah, not yet. Dodgers bullpen coming up and lots of pitchers already used.I wish that would have left the yard.
I think that's a big part of it. That's certaiy how the baseball press will play it. They like Cash, so they'll blame the nerds upstairs.Its not Cash. The Rays don't let him make these decisions alone. The analytics didn't work out.
It is, but Snell looked pretty pissed. How tough will it be for him not to sound off if this score holds?Not defending it. That's how they roll.
I don't think so either, if they keep LA at 2 here.This game is not over.
Robot umps. Robot managers.what’s the point of even paying a manager then if you’re the Rays?
why not just have an intern from the front office call the umpire to reflexively make pitching changes when prime randy johnson is about to face the top of the order for the 3rd time?
What about Robot GM?Robot umps. Robot managers.
He is an out generating machine this seriesCage Willy
Exactly"Blake Snell's final line: 5.1 IP, 9 SO, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 R His Game Score of 69 is the best in #WorldSeries history by a pitcher who didn't reach 6 IP " - Baseball Reference
It would have probably traded him 2 or 3 years ago when his salary jumpedWhat about Robot GM?
Would one have extended Mookie?
with only two true starters on their roster right now, and a black hole at closer, they are not quite the superteam the media is making them out to be. The Rays seem unequipped though to exploit them.I wish I didn’t mind the Dodgers, because after watching the Rays this series, it’s getting tougher to muster enthusiasm for them. It’s starting to feel like they deserve to lose.
