Hit a bomb, Christian.

That was predictable. It's hard to argue with the strategy though. Worst possible scenario and we still have the lead.

 

Claudio facing any righty in a big spot is a strategy that is pretty easy to argue with.

 

So, what should have been done? Give up a dinger to Cano or Conforto instead? Bring in a righty for Wilson to face McNeil?

 

 

If this was the postseason/must win scenario one could argue they play the matchups AB by AB, but with a 4 run lead you put Claudio in for Mcneil and let him pitch through Conforto anyway.

 

I'm ok with letting Claudio face one righty in a 4 run game if the bases are empty, but no, not when a HR makes it a 1 run game. He's just that bad against RHP.

 

Frankly I'd like to see them try the Joe Maddon strategy at some point where you stick Claudio out in a corner OF spot for one AB if you just need to get through one righty.

That kind of thing happens when you decide that a career LOOGY isn't a LOOGY anymore.

 

 

Well, at least I hope I can stop seeing that damn list someone keeps posting where they have Kimbrel, Hader, Knebel and Jeffress to show that Claudio is in the same category as they are as a pitcher.

 

Advanced metrics are great. Sometimes they lie.

I'd be all about that! Perfect scenario for that kind of strategy--provided Claudio is a competent athlete--and since he's an MLB player he's probably a competent athlete.

I am all for trying the Waxahachie Swap at some point this season. Statistically speaking based on splits, Alex Claudio and Freddy Peralta would be the perfect pairing for such a maneuver.

Not just “at Night” anymore.

Unlike the Cubs, the Brewers don’t have corner outfielders who you just replace as part of a cute gimmick, [sarcasm]at least not when Gamel starts. That guy is becoming a state treasure, and to think he got his start doing those Jack Links commercials.[/sarcasm]
