bearrock Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I guess that justifies Davey's decisions w Corbin. Wtf is he supposed to do with this bullpen? That's a question for Rizzo. FFS Edited October 7, 2019 by bearrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez high pitch count forced early relief but Nats bullpen is not very deep ...hard to pin on manager The lineup blew the game in the 4th and then Corbin nailed it shut. Time for an absolutely exhausted Max to desperately carry this embarrassment for six innings and hope it's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Just now, Sticksboi05 said: That is exactly why you cannot blame Davey for bringing in Corbin. This bullpen is a joke. Again, up 0-2 and can't just throw a strike. Corbin wasn’t even bad. Hit his spots most of the time. Got ahead in counts. Combo of bad luck on weak hits and just good jobs by good hitters. This nonsense about it being a mistake to bring him in because he was bad in game 1 (he wasn’t) is just that... nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PItching tomorrow means he's on five days rest, one day more than normal. Even if you account for pitching one inning Game 2, the extra day off should make up for it. Win tomorrow and we get Stras in Game 5 to add to his legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 5 minutes ago, StillUnknown said: when you have a ****ty bullpen, these things happen. it was not realistic to think something that has literally plagued us all season would not rear its head when it matters most Burning up your starters for long relief appearances is playing with fire. And if you're scared of your pen, why not leave your starter in when he's dealing and his pitch count is still good? Throwing a starter out there in a relief appearance and letting him drown is just mismanagement. Leaving Suero out here to drown when you've got a fresh pen is also mismanagement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His OPS the third time through lineups is horrendous and they were already going yard on him. Corbin and the offense screwed the season, not Davey.

Sanchez has horrible numbers the 3rd time through an order Lord knows I am not Martinez's biggest fan, but he did nothing wrong tonight. Managing with our bullpen is like a boxer with a broken hand. You can still throw the punch, but its going to hurt bad. You have to try experimental **** because standard practices are no longer an option Edited October 7, 2019 by StillUnknown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez was already at 87 pitches and their bats were starting to come around. The Nats have no pen (see Suero). Corbin failed and creates a cascade failure.

Pretty much since King Felix won the Cy Young with like 12 wins that one year. people who know the game dont put much stock in that stat, its mainly a talking point for old heads who dont want to move on. Saves is going the same way. Edited October 7, 2019 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managing with our bullpen is like a boxer with a broken hand. You can still throw the punch, but its going to hurt bad You still have to use them though. That's what they're here for. I understand they suck and are difficult to trust, but you still have to do it. Being afraid to micromanage the pen and avoiding doing so is a loser's approach in the postseason. How can you win that way? Using starters for long relief appearances is not what they know and it kills you twice over when they struggle. We didn't get burned by it before, but I don't think you should do it unless it's an elimination game or else your pen is worn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
