I'm still surprised some SoSHer hasn't found some way to do this yet.If i’m programming NESN, tonight i’m repeating yesterday’s game with Eck providing Director’s Cut commentary
MLB.com has Phillips HR call by the Braves announcers. The color guy, in the background, "You've got to be kidding me."I'm still surprised some SoSHer hasn't found some way to do this yet.
Foltynewicz was at 87 pitches and wasn't due up again until the bottom of the 7th, so yeah, he might have been able to go another. On the other hand, he's at a career high for innings pitched and approaching a career high in total pitches thrown for a season, so there might be some logic to getting him out an inning early with a six run lead and a month to go in the season.p.s. Chris Russo was raving on mlbn this aft. about Atlanta's manager giving away the game by taking out the starter, whose name I don't feel like trying to spell right now. He's probably right?
Agree with your second point. It's really hard to blame the manager for taking a starter out - at most - one inning early when leading by 6 freakin' runs. Managers can't expect or fear their bullpens to blow that big a lead.Foltynewicz was at 87 pitches and wasn't due up again until the bottom of the 7th, so yeah, he might have been able to go another.

I can come up with distractions in the offseason, but let's face it - I have the Rogers Hornsby attitude about a winter with no baseball.After today we have three more off days. Then a couple in October. Then a winter of no baseball.
Even though the baseball is better at the end of summer, there's a part of me that wishes it was still May.
Remember when newspapers were king? I would love a Sox win on a Saturday so I could bask in all the Sunday paper articles about it. Two thick old Sunday papers with a good sized sports section each.I am conflicted. Which day off is worse, after a thrilling win or after a gut wrenching loss?
Alex Cora is that you?I'm ok with having a break today.
Mookie hitting the crap out of the ball, Kimbrel looking like Kimbrel, and JD going bridge yesterday. Give them a day to come down off playing the Astros and get ready for the home stretch of the year.
Actually, I'm ARod. Did you like my analysis last night?Alex Cora is that you?
"BAAAAAAAAZZZEBAAAALLLLLL!!"Actually, I'm ARod. Did you like my analysis last night?

The rule is, game tomorrow and game yesterday -- but never game today.Tomorrow will be
