I'm wondering what Schneider is thinking right now. Lol. Dumbass manager.

He couldn't hit 94 for the longest stretch towards the end of the season. Got quite concerning.
The rest has benefited him a ton.

95 is still not ideal… needs to hit 97 at least

He got to 96-97 in his last outing, if I remember correctly?

His velo is fine and there's late life on the 4 seamer right now which is way more important anyways

Schneider or Clement

Would that have been much drop-off from IKF at second? I can't think why else they didn't pinch hit there

Because John Schneider trusted IKF at the plate over Davis all game long. Nothing changed. We could’ve had Davis‘s bat in there all game long.

Do you go with Hoffman for another inning - he is at 15 pitches.
Or do you keep some fresh bullets for tomorrow?

I'm inclined to go with Dominquez against the middle- bottom of that lineup.
If we get another run its an easy decision for me.

Hoffman depsite his troubling outings and flyball/HR concerns does get a lot of chase and this Ms team plays a more extreme version of Yankee ball. Its risky but not a bad matchup for him

Big at bat here.

Little should only pitch in Blowouts. He should be our new Chad Green.

Another 3 up 3 down. He’s back to Hoffman for now.

Hoffman gets the job done in the 8th

What Schneider should have called for on Friday.

Hoff is throwing his splitter more, good adjustment.

keep him fresh for tomorrow night either way, the multi inning outings have gone really poorly for him this season

I’d take Hoffman out so he’s still available tomorrow.

How confident are you about the rest of this series?
