Need a weather report from Rat to find out if there actually will be baseball in the fair city of Philadelphia today.
“Three green blob is headed north and may clear out for game time”
I channeled my ESPN to Rat and this is his reply by proxy.
Great……thanks JJ! I worry about how Oli will handle Game 2. After we win this first game, he cannot take his foot off the peddle for the second game. Let’s hope he’s not satisfied with taking 2-3 in the City of Brotherly Love, coupled with a 10 game win streak. That was my only complaint with the managing style of TLR. He occasionally had the propensity to take his foot off the opposing team’s throat when he had them all but swept in a series. Along the same vein, you see it all too frequently in sports, especially in the NBA and MLB. A team is totally dominant during the regular season and then the manager allots too much R&R to close out the regular season…..and then they lay an egg in the playoffs. Some players have tremendous difficulty with getting ramped back up after being layed off.
Herrera likely catches game2, with Burly and Gorman starting vs Nola. Oli’s been consistent with the lineups, so much so that Barrero and Pozo are getting 1 game every 5.
With the pen he could back off, but if we won game1, and the win streak is intact…Given the double header, I think they actually swap plans and catch Pozo game 2. They planned for Herrera to catch one of these, but with a DH I would let him DH both and then catch him Friday after the off day.
