I don't really get using him there. Maybe there is some data that he is the best of the PH options against high velocity or something.

Better using him in the second than in the seventh.

 

The inning is not as important as the context. With RISP you dont want to use your worst ph

This is so stupid...using Hader this early when you are behind..Roberts isn't going to PH, so what is the damn point. there are others that can hold the deficit. the crew probably only gets one more inning to make it happen against walker or it's game over..It will be Kershaw, Baez, Jansen

 

Except Roberts did PH.

Exactly. What better situation do you want for using Granderson? It will be such a waste if he gets his plate appearance with 2 on and nobody out. Runs at this stage of the game count just as much as runs later in the game.

We are trying to shut it down starting now. Hader 3, JJ 2 Knebel for the Pennant. Great move, use your best pitchers for as much as possible in the must win games. Just RRR should have brought Axford in for Marcum in the 2nd inning of game 6 in 2011

I don't get why we didn't use Grandy. It's not like they were going to pull Buehler, and now they'll just use a lefty later when we want to use Grandy and waste him.

 

Wouldn't Grandy be the CF if Cain were to get hurt? No Broxton in this series.

 

Perez to RF and Yelich to CF. Not ideal, but it's workable.

Getting Harder in early to keep it close but then batting Schoop with 2 on seems like a mixed message.

 

I think he's probably thinking there will be other bigger spots later in the game when he'd rather use Santana, Granderson etc..so he doesn't want to burn one of them this early and not have them available later in the game.
