Shows how little many are even paying attention. Hilliard has thrown more than 80 pitches only once all year. He had 1-2-3 coming up in the 6th.

It wasn’t a crazy move - plain and simple.


I assume you meant to type hasnt*

This is game 1 in a super regional at the end of his season. He may never pitch again

He was very capable of going another inning or 2 with the way he was throwing

If you you’re agreeing with the decision to yank him, well that just shows how little you know about the game.

But you’re an expert on tennis so I’ll digress

Our offense was putrid. No great reason to think we’d score again. You have to coach as if 2-2 is basically a loss there IMO. You’ve got to get through the line up one more time with someone before your closer. Starting Coleman with a fresh inning isn’t a terrible idea.

I’m saying the decision to yank him has a few good reasons, just as the decision to keep him in would have.

If this had been one of only a few questionable pitching moves that had backfired you could possibly overlook it but this has become a very noticeable pattern for Maineri
