Spartica4Real Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Well at least if we lose this game JV settled in and is eating innings ahead of the potential bullpen game tomorrow, one thing I really didn't want was for him to implode so badly that we had to go 75%+ bullpen outs today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Changing the whole roadmap of the game with these ball/strike calls. Just patently ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Glad to see Paxton with a very impressive performance. It wasn't looking good the first half inning but this was a much needed outing. Hate that he has his pitch count so high however. Hope to not pitch Ottavino today and get two inning out of Britton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the time to try to steal some outs from Ottavino when there is some breathing room rather than need it tomorrow in a potentially close game.

Kmart128 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Ughh... That ump is so inconsistent with that call. Sometimes they're strikes sometimes they're balls. He needs more consistency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We score about 5 more times this inning - then we can bring Otto in so he can regain his confidence. Otherwise? He's pitching scared and HOU knows it.

Well that's why I want to double up on Britton. Saves us an extra reliever for tomorrows bull pen game. Yes Britton may be unavailable but it will keep Kahnle, Chapman, Ottavino, Green, and Happ for tomorrow. And allows Britton to be rested for a potential game 7.

bigbadbuff Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Reminded me of Didis fly ball that was just short to right in game 3. JV eating innings is massive. Would love to see some runs here so we can get some breathing room and not put the pen in a stressful situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
