0-2 count chased a horrible pitch outside. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,490]

I turned it on right when he pulled Tristan. I saw like 85 pitches and 2 on but 1 out and no runs given up. 

any unique circumstances I should be aware of before saying pierce should have left him in for another hitter or 2?

I thought he should have left Tristan in. I think there’s a good chance he could have gotten the ground ball we needed

I'm not defending Pierce because I thought it was a questionable decision at best in real time. But, I imagine his thought process was something along the lines of "My starter just gave up base hits to the 8 and 9 hole hitters and the top of the lineup is coming around for their 4th look at him, so I'm going to make a change."

[Dahobbs 17,534]

Whatever doing to warm up our pitchers isn't working. Everyone struggles coming out. Something is broken here.

 If we win that decision makes him a genius, but since we lost so it was the wrong one.

That makes it understandable. As does going to Nixon. Didn’t work because Nixon couldn’t locate, again. 

[ztejas 43,419]

Pierce would look better if his closer could get a fucking out without putting someone on base. 

[zlavydra 2,120]

I would think the bigger problem is lack of hitting against their shitty pitcher. Or did we hit line drives all day that just found gloves?

[tx 3 putt 76,925]

Win the series tomorrow 

[dcar00 14,181]

Winning a regional is gonna be a successful season for this group. Oh well.

I agree that was the bigger problem. And no, not really. There were a few, but it was a lot of strikeouts and pop ups.

Their starter was anything but shitty.

Had a chance to catch the game in person today which was fun outside of the loss. We were kinda sitting alone where the folding chairs are on the second level when a man approached us and asked where we were from. We responded saying the north Texas area and he replied that he was visiting from California to see his son play. I asked who and he said that his son was Murphy Stehly and I quickly replied with “no way, he’s a badass. Love to watch him swing the bat.” He laughed a bit and we chatted some more about Stehly. Anyway, I’ve never met Murphy but I’d bet he’s a smart and good kid. His dad was extremely nice and a cool dude to talk to.

Did you ask him if Murphy can close?

Haha I didn’t. Probably could tho

Pierce needs to adjust his paradigm.  The bias needs to be toward leaving a guy in the game who has been throwing strikes because nobody we bring in can consistently do so. If that means occasionally going too long with a starter then so be it.   This offense will generally reward you for limiting the damage.  The way to limit the damage is to throw strikes. 

[Spaceman_Spiff 121]

I think the call to pull Tristan was at least fair. But you go Harrison there, who’s been far better than Nixon lately. Nixon hasn’t looked nearly sharp enough to risk him there. Throw your best guy.
