Rojas also became an optometrist when he was down in the minors 

Apparently didn’t check his own eyes swinging at that Fing pitch

In my younger days I could spin a fastball at a blistering 65 mph

Probably should pull Ruiz if he doesn’t get an out here.

JFC Ruiz. At least marte is back so I’m guessing Ruiz isn’t going to be used all that often

Got too cute trying to go Marte and Ruiz to save arms. Off an off day likely could’ve used alvarado or strahm as they haven’t pitched in 3 days.

Topper strikes again. You just had an off day. Use Hoffman or Alvarado to close out the game.

I get the strategy but, I think you have to pull Ruiz sooner or like you said just put in 1 of those 2 and not even mess with it. 

 

Hoffman got the job done!

I kind of get it. It’s 5 runs so you have some room for error. But really i don’t love using marte and Ruiz in a game. Feels like you are getting too cute and one of them is likely to have an issue. But really strahm in 4 days has pitched to 2 hitters. He could’ve been used.

Issue is Ruiz has to pitch to 3 batters by mlb rules. Why i said if he didn’t get an out at the 3rd batter he was getting pulled. They changed the rule a couple years back because of managers like Gabe kapler making 100 pitching changes and making the game 5 hours

Oh ok, thanks for the info. Id have to agree though you shouldn't be able to just pull pitchers after a batter or a handful of pitches.

Well you could probably get Castellanos to chase

If they can win 5 or 6 out of the next 11 before the all-star break, they’ll be fine in the division with the injured guys coming back after the break. They should be able to maintain a 6.5-7.5 game lead in the division heading into the break.
