You want baseball to climb out of the 4th place shadows of the NBA, college football, And the NFL? Then start making the rivalry games bigger. This is like saying “ugh why is Notre Dame getting so excited for a regular season game vs USC”
Average Baseball fan behavior 🥴
Samad Taylor simply cannot be hitting in that situation. That’s what I am talking about with depth. If we do get eliminated tonight, I pray the Padres front office and new ownership will go hard for vets who can grind at bats in October. This is ugly.
Being afraid to let Walker Buehler face a handful of lefties twice but letting Brewers hitters see Bradgley Rodriguez four games in a row is the type of fear-based, illogical and counterproductive move that gets teams eliminated.
Epidemic across baseball in the postseason.
Especially when the players you selected them for are Miguel Andujar, Freddie Fremine, and Austin Hayes.
Baseball Managers only have to do two things. Select lineups and rosters, and make in game personnel decisions.
And it’s been an abysmal display in this series.
For anyone acting like its impossible for 105/49 to leave heres 106.6 at 46 going 377 a million rows back
Stuff like backspin and the state of the ball matter
