1 person tweeted that, so everyone ran with it. I'm surprised they didn't face each other last year at all, and I guess Alvarez was hurt early in the year? Only 5 PA, and Alvarez was 1/3 with a 1B and 2 BBMichael K. wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:09 pmBut some angry fan tweeted it, and he also tweeted that he had some kind of .800 plus OPS, which I think you debunked also, correct?
Why are you sucking Ray and Servais off?Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:09 pmThe right answer was to avoid Alvarez. Munoz and Seawald screwed up to put them in that situation.bpj wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:08 pmYeah, and what finished them off was Servais decision and Ray not pulling it off.
In Home games, Alvarez had a 1.070 OPS vs. LHP and a .982 OPS vs. RHP.
There wasn't really a "right" answer against Alvarez.
But, turns out there was a "wrong" answer, and that was putting your starting pitcher in as a reliever for the first time in that situation.
The plan was for Munoz and Seawald to get the job done before the top of the order came up. After that it was plan B.Captain 97 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:10 pmNO THEY WEREN'T
They had plenty other options. Boyd and Swanson are elite level relievers.
And Plan B wasn't the guys who did it all season, it was your $100M poorly performing starter.

I'm not sucking them off. It was a joint effort to lose that game, and I'm not putting it all on Servais and Ray.bpj wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:12 pmWhy are you sucking Ray and Servais off?Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:09 pmThe right answer was to avoid Alvarez.

Munoz and Sewald effed up, then Servais and Ray effed up. It's not an exclusive club of suckage, they all belong.
No its not. A Sinker and a cutter go in opposite directions. for a lefty like ray a sinker will move down and away from a left handed batter. A cutter rides in on the hands of a left handed hitter almost like an extra hard slider.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 4:52 pmSounds like it was actually sinker. I mean, isn't that basically just a cut fastball?
So again, what would we be saying if Swanson gave up the dinger? SS shouldn't have put him in.
Well, they still had the lead at that point.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:14 pmI'm not sucking them off. It was a joint effort to lose that game, and I'm not putting it all on Servais and Ray.
Guys they didn't ask to perform in similar situations all season either. They didn't want to have to use any of them.bpj wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:13 pmAnd Plan B wasn't the guys who did it all season, it was your $100M poorly performing starter.
