So I'm back to muting all games in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The damn wooing is so obnoxious! Can we request the broadcast crew close their windows???

Notice how the Wooing stopped. They are on their way out to the parking lot.

Wooing turned into sobbing.

Scooter's close to returning, though. They're expecting him to do a couple of games of rehab near the end of this road trip, possibly in Brevard County when the Brewers are in Miami.

 

 

Was hoping his rehab would be in Appleton. :(

I absolutely love that Craig used Jeffress in a tie game on the road in the 9th. Seems like such a no brainer to use your best relievers first, but it stuns me that basically nobody does it.

Agreed. Rock of course represented 'traditional' thinking, by pointing out how unusual it is to employ your best reliever to try to prevent a walk-off win.

but he was right, it is unusual in today's game... I don't think he was criticizing CC for doing it, just commenting...

The 'logic' behind that conventional thinking is so horrible, too. (Well, who are you going to have at the end to pick for the 'save' if you've already used your closer?)

 

For some reason according to basically every manager in baseball, only your closer can be trusted to record the last 3 outs with a small lead, but any schlub in your pen can be thrown in to the game with the score tied in a sudden death situation.

Agreed on that take.
