He is not a good receiver, in my unschooled opinion.McGuire caught that last slider like absolute crap.
caught a sliver, no? should be a strike. Anyway...This HP ump stinks but that was low.
Not according to the K zone. Was a tick low. But we survived.caught a sliver, no? should be a strike. Anyway...
Your avatar had quite the ‘stache back in the day as well.
I don't even know who the player in my avatar is, Nipper gave it to me since I didn't have one. I don't follow hockey.Your avatar had quite the ‘stache back in the day as well.
My guess (and that's all it is) is that Cora used the better guys first, in the hopes they'd tack on a couple of runs and make the lead a bit bigger for someone not as good. If we assume that Brasiort will suck no matter the inning they pitch, using him earlier might just piss away the lead entirely. It didn't work out that way on either end -- the Sox didn't tack on and Brasier got through it -- but I *think* that's what the idea was.Why is Brasier being used as a setup guy? WHY.
While Youk describes perfectly what they should be doingBack to Back games with bonehead base running on essentially the same play. Surprising to see big leaguers mess up that basic play.
Kluber got yanked after 67 pitches yesterday?Why is Brasier being used as a setup guy? WHY.
And avoid a 4 or 5 run lead which might have meant Ort. Smart baseball.They just wanted to get Jansen a Save
