All-Purpose MLB Thread! (2019-2021)

This FO and coaching staff manages in the 21st century. Pitch counts after a certain amount of time off, when to pull guys, how to bring guys up. Long gone are the days of Bochy managing through his "gut".

Bochy did a passable job managing with his “gut” in what I believe was the 21st century but ok

 

[Kingz19]

Good win. Fairly drama free once they got the lead. Rare for a 2 run Giants game

 

[SLAB]

These wins have numbed a little bit of those awful Padres losses.

Absolutely. Dude has 3 rings to show for it. All I'm saying is that's not what this team is anymore. Mostly every decision has been mathed out to what optimal in the long-term. Boch mostly went by his "feel" for the game and more traditional staples of managing.

 

[SLAB]

Being the only team in baseball not able to beat San Diago is one crappy way to end this season.

 

[Kingz19]

Gausman serving up meatballs

 

[SLAB]

If we can’t beat San Diego we deserve to get rolled in one by St Louis.

 

[SLAB]

Two bases loaded opportunities, one single run. I hate baseball.

 

[Kingz19]

If not for Duggar tapping a home run back into play in the second Braves game. Littell would’ve served up a bomb to the first batter in three straight appearances now

 

[Kingz19]

Ninth Inning Wade

 

[SLAB]

Oh my god LaMonte is so clutch

Sus baserunning but I’ll accept the result.

 

[SLAB]

I was 100% resigned to accepting the Wil Meyers lead off walk-off next inning.

 

[SLAB]

Oh lord, 9th inning Rogers I’m gonna be sick.

 

[Kingz19]

Great cover by Rogers.

Great win

 

[SLAB]

I have no idea how they pulled this one out. In a season of wins that seemed completely unwinnable this one is right up near the top.

 

[SLAB]

Scott Kazmir starting games down the stretch of a 100-win season.

Just like everyone predicted at the beginning of this year.

 

[Kingz19]

Doval fans Machado on three pitches and gets the DP. He’s arrived

 

[SLAB]

Camilo Doval has arrived.

 

[SLAB]

Wow, converted short stop just blew away Longo.

 

[Kingz19]

Yikes, what a remarkably trash start by Webb

45 pitch first inning

One of these were bound to happen eventually. As much as I'd like him to only give up 2 ER every start for a whole season, probably not sustainable to expect

absolutely not sustainable ...but that first inning was still especially bad that it felt noteworthy

 

[SLAB]

Great recovery in the second.

 

[Kingz19]

If Webb can pitch 5 innings with the Giants still in striking distance I’m going to feel bad about harping so much in that first inning

The Angels really could have the best player of his generation (Mike Trout), a dude doing something literally only Babe Ruth has ever done (Shohei Ohtani), and one of the best pitchers of this century who has been the best pitcher in baseball since going to the Dodgers (Scherzer) and will still probably struggle to win eighty games next season because they're the SlegnA.

 

[Tetsujin]

the best thing about being an A's fan is them doing just enough to get you invested but always blowing up spectacularly when it counts the most.

 

[SLAB]

Kris Bryant is weird to me so far. He’s a very good hitter. I just don’t ever really expect him to hit though.

 

[Kingz19]

Wow

 

[SLAB]

OMG AUSTIN SLATER

 

[SLAB]

That was a freakin’ laser beam. Wowwwwww
