He’s going to need to throw the fastball and cutter a bit more so they can’t just sit slider.Levon wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:41 pmTrue, Maldo the Elder has been touched a couple times of late, but the the 2 hits tonight were both hit off good pitches, as was the 9th inning game tying HR at Tenn. Sometimes good hitters hit good pitches. I'm not worried about him.commadore wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:30 pm
I am wondering if there is something wrong with Maldo the Younger. Slight injury or something. Wasn't he 0-12 this past weekend? Maybe he just needs a day or two off.
After 6 innings I simply thought our guys were mailing in another game. Then they woke up.
Worried a little about Maldo the Elder too. He has been hit pretty hard lately...Tennessee, tonight, and one other game I can't remember off hand.
Let's go win a series vs florida.

Re: Louisville
I'm not 100% sure of this -- I was multi-tasking, had the sound muted and was reading-- but I think TJ Mac pinch ran for Bulger earlier in the game (11th), so Espy was our catcher at the moment.Levon wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:05 pm Corbs pushed all the right buttons in the 12th, though I didn't understand pinch hitting Espinosa with 1 out. He's a high-risk, high-reward hitter who strikes out a lot. Why not a lefty against the right-handed pitcher, or Maldo the Younger, a much better contact hitter. That move mystified me a bit. Good news, though, it all worked out! Great win.
Re: Louisville
Geez, you are correct. I also had the sound muted and was multi-tasking, so I missed that TJ had indeed pinch run for Bulger in the 11th. I just went back and checked the play-by-play and that confirmed it. Thanks for the noggins-up, makes much more sense now knowing that Espy was already in the game, not pinch hitting.geeznotagain wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 9:34 amI'm not 100% sure of this -- I was multi-tasking, had the sound muted and was reading-- but I think TJ Mac pinch ran for Bulger earlier in the game (11th), so Espy was our catcher at the moment.Levon wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:05 pm Corbs pushed all the right buttons in the 12th, though I didn't understand pinch hitting Espinosa with 1 out.
