Dtrain72 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It would seem AJ would have figured out by now that if Soto walks a guy, THEN HITS a guy, HE SHOULD PROBABLY BE FUCKING PULLED. I've loved the AJ hiring, but he is wearing thin rrrreeealllll fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark1mt Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It would be helpful to score more than 1 run. Nonetheless, Beau Brieske will be waiting for Soto in the dark shadows of the locker room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOT If you are a lefty reliever who struggles and can't pitch to left handed batters, you probably shouldn't be a closer. Like, that's where the walks and HBP happened.

RandyMarsh Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 While I disagree with the decision unfortunately that's how managers always treat the closers, they seem to get the longest leash. They get to stay in until it's too late, if that was anybody else there would have been somebody up throwing after the first walk then rocket from the 2nd hitter but not for the closer.

Archie Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 A lot of people will blame Soto but those three runs are 100% on mismanagement and Hinch. Once the bases were loaded Hinch should of had Vest or Chaffin ready to come in and Soto sat down. Did Hinch really think Soto was going to find his form after 25 pitches. He didn't look good from the first batter. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 So what do we think, 7 pitches to get the 3 outs in the bottom of the 9th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Skuval and Lange are literally the only players that are keepers on this team. Every single other player could easily be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I suppose they are still tantalized by his raw stuff—and lord knows, he's the fastest left-hander in the game—but if you can't control it, you can't be trusted to close it out at the moment of truth.

Sooo tired of the bs about managers leaving a closer in "because he's a closer!", when clearly even non professionla schlubs like most fans could see Soto needed to be put on a short leash after the walk, then yanked after he hit a guy. It's such a simple fucking decision to make given Soto has captain obvious, tell tale signs when he's gonna choke on his own gascan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Terrible call to end the game, I would be more upset but lets face it all it prevented was the Rangers pitcher from throwing another pitch and seeing Hasse hack at a slider off the plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
