Re: MLB 2018
Never seen this before: Brewer starter Miley gives up a lead-off walk in the bottom of the first … and gets pulled. Gotta figure that was the strategy all along, but weird.
edit: Ah, okay, apparently they've done this before. The ploy was to get the Dodgers to set their line-up for a lefty, then bring in the righty. That's, like, video game stuff.

Re: MLB 2018
I'm not watching, i'm at work not drinking just like the westway kid, but Counsil keeps strating lefties then pull them instantly so Roberts will start all righties, then use up his whole bench by the 3rd inning. this is like the 3rd time he did it this series.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 5:22pmNever seen this before: Brewer starter Miley gives up a lead-off walk in the bottom of the first … and gets pulled.

Re: MLB 2018
Anyway, had the Brewers pulled it off last night they'd punch their ticket, obviously, but i think the momentum swing favors the shit-fuck Dodgers too much.

What I meant was that if he was aware that you were not allowed to drink on the job that he might change the law in your favor. I don't think he'd like to drink with you either unless your name is Biff or Skippy.WestwayKid wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 6:05pm

Re: MLB 2018
There's an old cliche that managers don't win games, they can only lose them by being too clever (see: LaRussa, T.), but when your bullpen is so good, it seems a decent move. Especially when you're burning Wade Miley rather than, like, a DeGrom.WestwayKid wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 6:09pmGuess he's looking for any angle going up against Kershaw.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 5:22pmNever seen this before: Brewer starter Miley gives up a lead-off walk in the bottom of the first … and gets pulled.

Re: MLB 2018
"Bullpenning" is a SABR thing though. But yeah, it's based on not having Roger Clemens/Tom Glavine/Madison Buttgaurder/etc to lean on.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 6:14pmThere's an old cliche that managers don't win games, they can only lose them by being too clever (see: LaRussa, T.), but when your bullpen is so good, it seems a decent move.

What I worry in this case is they just did it successfully 12 hours ago, now all the same guys are expected to have equally brilliant outings today?

Re: MLB 2018
That is worrisome. They're leaning on the bullpen a lot - and it's kept them in games...especially considering the top of the lineup is not hitting like it should.tepista wrote: ↑17 Oct 2018, 6:22pm"Bullpenning" is a SABR thing though.
