Hold your breath. Essentially a 1 run game. Gjy at the plate is tying run

Voth has to go.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

He had to pitch to 3 batters. I cant really get to upset with him though. Coulombe and Voth, especially Voth, didnt do their jobsSigh. LOL at McDonald. "Hyde usually doesn't mess around."
He's messing around right now!

Voth is great when you're losing by 6 or 7 runs and need him for a clean inning or two.

And now we have to bring in Felix in a pressure situation. Damn it. Send Voth away.

Voth has to go.
Eh. You need long arms in blowouts. But yeah, not as an alternate option to closeout games. That's no bueno.

Sure keep Voth ....if you had 30 man rosters. Can't waste a spot on a guy who has no real role.

Felix was well rested. Def coulda just brought him in to start the inning

McDonald stumbled on a nugget of wisdom there - the fact Voth likely had no clue he was going to pitch due to the situation.
I mean - McDonald's sharing his experience as an MLB pitcher. I like it when he does that.

Sure but in this case I would have done the same thing. Should have been able to just finish this one out without having to use Felix or Cano. As much as I think Hyde's bullpen use is poor not putting this one on him.

He didnt mismanage anything badly. Just saying it would have been ok to go to Felix up 4.

Questionable first pitch strike calls really change the outlook for Felix.

And the reason for that is what McDonald intimated. Voth may not have been mentally ready to enter the game.
Eh, but the beer's cold just the same.

I feel like the K-square was too small at the end of the game. It seemed set artificially low...like top at the belt.

Yup and Felix had already warmed. Had to sit and warm a 2nd time. Buck usually always brought in a guy if he warmed.And the reason for that is what McDonald intimated. Voth may not have been mentally ready to enter the game.
