@JohnnyGiunta_ Schneider and Walker are experts at managing games like this. How many times has it worked this season?
Then there was game 4 of the ALDS. Bullpen combed for 10Ks and scattered just 6 hits for 2 runs. Nails!
@TheRog590 The underlying problem is that they hired the guy in the first place... But I don't understand asking that question like that. Clearly the answer doesn't matter because the question was meant as a statement and not an honest question.
@Theregimentfc @JohnnyGiunta_ You realize 1 was a check swing strike that he tried to dodge out of the way of, right?
Pretty poor swing call by the umpire imo.
Still, not the AB we wanted.
Small thing I noticed.
Yesavage moves ahead of Arozarena, 0-2, to begin the game. Rogers Centre roars.
Arozarena calls time and steps out.
Smart play, because Yesavage feeds off the crowd’s emotion.
On the mound, Yesavage’s right foot remains firmly engaged with the rubber — as if to say, ‘I’m not going to play your game.’
He does not move. At all. But does the ploy disrupt Yesavage’s rhythm? Sure seems that way.
Yesavage hits Arozarena, walks Raleigh, gives up the homer to Rodriguez.
We don’t talk enough about the importance of effectively using timeouts under the modern rules.
