Thank you! I am just of the mind that it IS hard to pitch in the big leagues and it is “labor”. Finish the inning if you can. It’s how guys push through barriers and get better. IMO.
As I said on TMA this am. My take had zero to do with Oli and was more about where the game is today. I appreciate him. He’s been a fantastic manager and made the most out of what he’s had to work with over the years. I’m old and a get off my lawn guy now. It’s all good!
Their whole lineup was left handed basically. It’s the 5th. Might they hit again later? Only one lefty in pen. See if the young guy can learn. You may be rewarded later when the games are higher stakes. They signaled their intentions hours earlier at deadline. So honor it. Grow.
Don’t you want your starting pitcher to say “this is my game”. Yes team game but MY game. Gave up 2 run hr. Ok. Back to work. Instead - go sit down. We have 28 more guys to finish. This is the time to see. Ok. Off my lawn!! Then wonder why guys can’t go deep. Got it.
How can there be definitive analytics on something that rarely happens? Now’s the time to see what he can do! Does logic ever enter the room? You just sold off. Why not? if you can’t push now when will you know his real limits? Instead 14 outs from tired BP.
So what is it? The Cardinals just sold at the deadline- good- and now, after a 2 run HR- they lead 6-2 in the 5th and just because there are lefties coming up they don’t want to see if McGreevy can get through at least 5 innings up 4?? How do they learn or grow?

Ooops. Wait. That’s not me. I just did bath time with my kids. And now putting them to bed. My bad. Go Phillies. Or Dodgers. Or whatever team you want me to cheer for. They’re the best!
Just so I can sleep tonight. What game do you think I’m doing at the moment? The Phillies game? On ESPN? I think I’m having a hell of a game right now. You don’t?
