I am legitimately shocked Counsell thought Guerra was his best option in this situation.

 

Who else do you go to? This pen is flat bad.

I just got home, has Albers pitched? I would take my chances with him getting the ground ball needed.

Solid assessment!

Junior??

 

yeah I really hate this move...but then again the cupboard is pretty flipping bare in that pen right now

 

 

I feel like we see some variation of this post pretty much every night. "I don't like (reliever x), but what choice is there?"

 

Albers. Right now our only actual decent choice is Albers (IMO)

Yeah ... pretty rough when there is only one guy in the pen you can have even a little hope with.

That post shows up pretty much every night because it's accurate. Sure Albers would be a good choice - then we get out of it and still need to get 9 more outs in a likely 1 run game without Albers as an option. It's basically a game of chicken which couple innings CC has to send a gas can out to the mound and pray the opponent can't find a match.

Where was Albers? Or even Hader? This is the game right here.

 

You wouldn't even trust Junior Guerra in extras the other day when Jeffress had thrown 30+ pitches, yet you trust him in a bases loaded 1 out situation in a 1 run game against a team you absolutely HAVE to beat?

 

Mind-boggling decision by Craig Counsell. We deserve to lose. Craig deserves to lose.
