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. Why are we still arguing about this? Corbin is significantly better than anyone else in our bullpen, and he's not starting anymore this series. It'd be moronic not to use him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if this were a 7 game series, he wouldn't be so quick to use starters out of the pen in a short series, I think he wants to put his best arms available on the mound. win the game your playing and worry about the next later. I can't really disagree with his strategy given the historic terribleness of our bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The truth of the matter is you can't always hide a bad bullpen for that long. Starters shouldn't be pitching in the 6th in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammajamma Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Well bad news is we're down 8-2. Good news is Kelly is all over the place. If they can't get at least 1 or 2 back here, might as well call it a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Randy Johnson coming in to slam the door in '95, prime example. IIRC, he did it a few years later in 2001. Curt Schilling did it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Good to see that they're starting a rally here. Chances to get 6 runs back isn't good but if they can burn a few Dodgers relievers and get deeper into their bullpen tonight, that's a good thing. No one up in the Dodgers bullpen, they're gonna ride with Joe Kelly here who's flammable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 6 minutes ago, DCSaints_fan said: Sanchez’s numbers third time through the lineup are not good. Muncy had homered. The Dodgers aren’t taking chances with Ryu eilther He was dealing though. They had a plan, I get that. But great management means knowing when to deviate from the plan and knowing when to ride with a guy and when to pull him. It's completely intuitive. Davey just doesn't have it.
