Why are they warming someone up with a 10-run lead?

Let Bieber pitch his 7 innings and they air out the back of the pen.

Bring Bieber back out to start next inning also.

Give him on more inning.

Think it was a " give up" move after the first 2 games. Now having second thoughts after tonight's game

He's going to have the shortest of leashes if things start going bad in the least.

I for some reason think he's going to have a decent start.

Bieber signing for 500 million next year!

Lots of apologies in order for the Biebs

Bieber done after 6

Hope this goes better than game 2 of the Yankees series

RalphWiggum · Post #268 » by **RalphWiggum** » Thu Oct 16, 2025 2:11 am

I would've given Bieber the 7th too.

This FO must have liked his sim game last week, only thing I can think of

Otherwise it’s pure self sabotage

I feel like it's more of a bullpen game with Max starting off. He'll likely be on a very short leash.

If it’s bullpen game, Bieber should pitch the 7th today

Scherzer’s sim game was 95 pitches. Maybe they are banking on 95 pitches from Max!

Gimenez hit machine!

And Gimenez, he's been great considering his talent level with the bat.

And right on cue.

Giving them more looks at the bullpen seems dumb

95 pitches and 10 runs like the Royals start

Shoulda just left in Biebs

Randle McMurphy · Post #278 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Thu Oct 16, 2025 2:22 am

How many RPs are we gonna end up using in these 3 innings lol

SharoneWright · Post #279 » by **SharoneWright** » Thu Oct 16, 2025 2:22 am

Perfect Tommy Nance game.

I don't think it will be a bullpen game, at least that won't be the intention going in. Max getting shelled early is always a possibility so it could turn into a bullpen game quickly, but I think they are anticipating a normal start for him. Which is insane, but I guess there's no other alternative if they didn't want to start Bassitt.
