Another zero so we can survive the bottom of our lineup in the fifth.

Most likely. But if Stanton can come back game 3 he might be on the bench. Guy was great all year. Just last night and tonight he looks like he’s pressing a bit

Nice.

It was. Shows Verlander is no Superman. Good, but . . . .
Glad to see Green in there putting out the fire, too.

Are they going to admit they steal signs?


Nothing wrong with that if they spot something and use it to their advantage. As long as it's not from and cameras or eyes in the sky type of thing.

If a coach or player picks up on something that's part of the game and not illegal.

My point is that is been reported that they are doing camera stuff to stream signs. I’m old enough to remember Gaylord Perry throwing spitters. If they get away with it legal or illegal it’s what it is but if they are stealing signs they are likely going to say he was tipping his pitches to cover their asses

They weren’t stealing signs. They noticed something about how he was holding his glove. This is from the Tampa Bay game a few days ago but to give you a visual.

Agreed. It was well documented in last years playoffs the Red Sox figured out something Severino did to tip his pitchers with men on base. They found it by studying video...can’t argue with that.

Using video to steal and relay signs real time is a different story.

They need to self scout and figure out what went wrong though.

Ahh ok. I didn't see or hear anything about them using cameras. If that's true you may be right about using the tipping pitches as a cover.

I'm old enough to remember Gaylord too, and it seemed like what he did was more or less accepted. Either that or he was a master at not getting caught that often.

Some of it is also mental Gamesmanship. Who knows. Getting into you Opponents head is huge in a series like this. Meanwhile Didi making Verlander work.
Good at bat by Didi  
dune69 : 10/13/2019 9:57 pm : link
made Verlander pitch. Wear him out.
Bottom of the lineup did a nice job grinding.  
bceagle05 : 10/13/2019 9:57 pm : link
81 pitches through five, and the ABs are getting better.
big AB's by Didi and Slim there  
Stu11 : 10/13/2019 9:58 pm : link
made him make a lot of pitches and throws over to 1st. Over 80 pitches now. That may keep him from getting out of the 7th. Interesting to see if he tries to get another inning out of Green here to try and hand it to Kahnle/Otto/Brit/Chappy

Agreed and it's AB's like those that make this lineup so tough to get through. There's no letup and guys 1-9 can hurt you.

It's not easy even for a great pitcher like Verlander, and it's got to be a bit mentally draining as well as physical. Like he can't exhale til he gets back in the dugout.
Damn, Green really got him to climb the ladder there

Green at 26 pitches vs top of the lineup? You make a change. Ottavino didn't get the job done there but any manager would make the same call.
Eh you can flip that one around  
jcn56 : 10/13/2019 10:08 pm : link
Green gives up the HR and you're saying 'why the hell did they stick with Green for so long'. That's their MO, and it has worked well for them overall.

Ottavino is yet to look up to the moment in these playoffs.

Needs to knuckle down here.
That decision by Boone  
MookGiants : 10/13/2019 10:15 pm : link
was made long before the inning even started, hell it was probably made before the series even started.

You can't manage that way in the playoffs and especially a 7 game series.

This AB coming up could be the game. Yordan vs. that Kahnle Changeup.
3 guys  
MookGiants : 10/13/2019 10:18 pm : link
to try and get 3 outs in a game where your starter didn't get out of the 3rd inning.

Head scratching.
Close call goes our way.  
bceagle05 : 10/13/2019 10:18 pm : link
Here comes another reliever who's been shaky. As Bill2 astutely pointed out, the Betances injury probably looms larger than the rest - he was the unlucky one of the group. Hope Kahnle has an out in him.
