i liked the other pinch hitters, but bringing in Swihart (which led to the lefty coming in, getting Blake's weaker side) was probably a worse bet than just letting Nunez put a ball in play.

What a dog shit strike 2 call. And ESPN broadcast doesn't even acknowledge it? Not at the time, but give ARod some credit for the emphasis he put on it after the K. And now let's screw up Vazquez's AB too. What the hell?

Vazquez PHing is not optimal

I'll take Swihart vs Sipp over Nunez vs McHigh. Nunez will at least put the ball in play more than Swihart will, which is what you needed there in the weak part of the lineup; then you could have still pinch hit Swihart for Leon afterwards.

Hinch is still schooling his former bench coach.

Vazquez PHing is not optimal Yeah, I don't really like that move. I'd rather leave Leon in for D and to keep the option of PHing for him later. You didn't gain enough going to Vazquez there.

You were better off hitting Sam Travis or the f-ing bat boy than Vazquez.

That's why you get down and block the pitch (and don't give up and try to pick it) where your only chance is if it hits you in the face - because maybe it will...
---
Hard to judge Cora's PH moves when the ump takes both BS and CV out of the at bats. That was horrendous and he is THE biggest reason they did not score there...

Agree 100% with this. And the whole Devers situation needs to be addressed, CV to pinch hit is weak. Cora is managing like if he has the AL East wrapped up, and as great as this team has been we have not won anything yet.

That's a really encouraging Kimbrel inning there.

To be honest guys i know it changed the whole swihart ab which might cost us the game. But the ump was giving porcello that location all night

Nice inning by Kimbrel. Really important to put this away with our best hitters coming up.

McHugh's slash line vs. RHs this year:.130/ 200/.228. 51 Ks in 128 ABs. Sipp vs RHs this year: .241/.308/.379. 19 Ks in 58 ABs
Not bad numbers for Sipp at all, but I'd rather get McHugh out of the game and try Swihart, and then probably Travis. The Vazquez move I don't really like.
