Guys. Please think. You don't bring Sims in with that level rain coming in. You get him maybe for 1 inning and that's it.
Lemonis knew the rain was coming in. He tried to slow play it as much as he could to get the rain in there before Stinnett has to throw. But if you go 2 hour rain delay, which is what this will be, and you throw Mac or Sims, you aren't bringing them back out and you lose one of your best bullets in the 9th in a tie game.
Stinnett couldn't grip the ball and it completely affected him just now. The whole world knew that 3-2 to Melendez was going to be a FB because he couldn't grip the breaking ball in the rain.
Made our guy pitch in the rain and when TX took the lead they stop play. That's bullshit.
Honestly, this game would've been over had Rowdy not sucked with bases loaded. Then Landon would've come in top9 and slammed the door. But here we are.
Why did they wait so long to tarp the field? Obviously we were affected by it.
If it's #1 then you're deciding he's never coming into this game, which seems...odd.Quote:

Because we should have a big advantage tomorrow with Bednar and Sims together. If we don't have Sims to follow Bednar then not so much.Quote:

So are we looking at resuming around midnight?
Sims would have been a risk, if it went extra innings he might pitch too many to be available for tomorrow. We didn't have a lead. If we have a lead then yeah Sims. The way our bats have been likely going extra innings. If you don't have Sims tomorrow then we are in serious trouble.Quote:

And then he gets 2 days off before the finals AND it saves Bednar. Not pitching Sims cost us Bednar.Quote:

I just don't understand at least not going with Sims for an inning there.
You have all the momentum, you have Tanner Allen coming up bottom 9....at least go Sims for an inning to give us a chance to walk it off. If we don't, take him out so you have him tomorrow if needed. But when you finally claw back in it, and have a chance at a Title....you don't leave it up to Smith and Stinnett. Lemo overthought that move
Might be resuming in 2022 if Lemon keeps bringing in clueless pitchers. I?m not sure Jack Sparrow threw any strikes warming up. He needs a clipboard or pirate ship from now on.Quote:

Met,1 inning of Sims would have been fine. It was the 9th and we are the home team so there was never going to be a save opportunity. There is no defense for that decision with 2-3-4 hitters due up.Quote:

Whatever we do never seems to work out for us. Our other relievers just don't have the stones to throw strikes. But yea, we should have given him 1 inning.Quote:

You aren't guaranteed 1 inning of Sims there with the rain. You might get him for 1 before the rain comes in.Quote:

The plan very clearly seems to be protect a Bednar/Sims possibility for an elimination game.

That's understandable until you battle back and score 3 in the 8th and have them on the ropes with TA leading off. Then plans change. You can't manage everything before the game, sometimes you have to make tough calls on the flyQuote:
