@DodgerBlue1958 Obviously happy it ended this way, but look at how the inning started. Crawford hit off a LHP with better RH options on the bench and it worked.
Imagine the confidence it gives Crawford having belief from your manager. Just wish they would extend the same to Marsh.
@DodgerBlue1958 It’s analytics vs feel for players. For Marsh it’s pretty apparent that he is seeing more lefties this year and is more comfortable overall. It’s got to be deflating for him.
Same thing about a month ago and Thomson pinch hit for him with Bohm who was slumping and same result.
@DodgerBlue1958 Sosa is completely lost at the plate all year and Marsh is the 3rd best hitter in the league this year…sometimes you need to put the charts away and just look at the people.
@FightinsTalk Yeah…when you can’t hit with RISP and you can’t eat even 1 inning without your high leverage guys…you can’t get your CF to get on base AT ALL…yeah…not great.
@JoyOnBroad Any clue why we don’t call timeout before 3 seconds? It was 3rd down. If we get a 10-15 yard pass and get out of bounds, we can try a field goal. If it’s not open, throw it away and still try a Hail Mary…
