GDT : Cards @ Padres (8/2) ~ 9:10pm CDT

[cardstatman]

I do like Romero against the LH bats. I'm with Oli on this.

what about Arraez?

Yea didn’t make sense if you go with Jo Jo you would think they would go with him at the start against their best left handed hitter just weird managing. Should have let lehay finish the inning start Jo Jo in the ninth

Machado has a .882 OPS and 10 HRs in 123 ABs against lefties this season. You want to bring in JoJo to face that?

Yes. Oli did good.

Then don’t bring him in start O’Brien

[Charles King]

Why not run for Herrera

[RunSup]

Nice RBI Burly. Now WC clear the bases.

[82birds]

attaboy Burly off a lefty

JoJo came in to face the lefty Merrill. What are you talking about?

You are arguing about why JoJo wasn't brought in to face Arraez. I showed you how Machado, the hitter right after Arraez, mashes lefties. It's ok to dislike Oli, but bashing every. single. move. is exhuasting.

Why not run for Herrera

LF defense in the bottom of the inning.

[82birds]

what is this I'm seeing?

[RunSup]

The sac fly works. Let's go Jo Jo.

Jo Jo should have started the inning if you aren’t going to let lehay finish the inning that way he faces two lefties or just let lehay finish the inning since he was pitching well no reason to waste Jo Jo for one hitter when you could rest him a game

[cardstatman]

This worked out well. Now JoJo gets a 4-run lead but can still get a save.

Should help with the nerves and confidence.

... and he starts it with a walk.

Why would JoJo start the inning and be forced to face Machado, who mashes lefties? JoJo was brought in against a lefty to get the 3rd out of the inning and will now close the game. Are you really this upset over the move? My goodness. Get a grip.

[RunSup]

Why not run for Herrera

LF defense in the bottom of the inning.

Hampson is in LF

Hampson is in LF

Yes, that's why he ran for Burleson, not Herrera.

[Charles King]

One more JoJo
