The likelihood we would need him in one of the games today was great enough that using him DOWN one run was not necessary yesterday

Save situation

Using the better pitcher to get three outs before he gives up three runs is silly, regardless of the definition of a “save situation”.

I would have been okay with using Feliz as well, although I would have used Frankie in order to have Feliz available for a multi-inning outing today.

by Darrell McKown on Sep 1, 2009 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

with the way grilli had pitched the last couple times out putting him in last night wasn't a bad call

I have no problem with him not pitching last night

But I would have either let feliz get the three inning save today. Especially since he is now unavailable tonight and tomorrow for sure. Or go with ODay or someone else to start the 9th and if they got in a bind then bring in Frankie. Now we are down both Feliz and Frankie for tonight, along with Strop, Mathis, and probably Grilli

And with such a young guy he may let that affect him in such short order. Its not like having a night and morning to get it out of your head and move on its a quick turnaround.

Per EG:
Managerial exercise time. Let’s suppose Brandon McCarthy goes 5.1 innings before needing to exit with a lead. Understand that Dough Mathis, Jason Grilli and Pedro Strop are probably not available (Grilli has 35 pitches over the last two days; Strop threw 40 last night). Neftali Feliz threw 27 in the first game and Frank Francisco closed things out. You do have Eddie Guardado and Warner Madrigal as extra bodies tonight. Your late inning pieces are C.J. Wilson and Darren O’Day. So, construct the last 3.2 innings of this game to protect a lead.

"We have a better chance to win with other guys in the lineup," said Blalock, who is hitting .190 the past 30 games. "That’s something I’ve got to deal with."

I like DoD late... but I don't feel good about this game if it gets there and it's close.
