Confused why we PH Jones and not Beloso in the 9th

Because those 2 lefties Arky threw are really good and brutal against left handed hitters.

You know what you have in Beloso, and it benefits the team to keep Jones involved and maybe spark a hot streak in him.

That logic is correct, but we also bat Pearson in the 2 spot against a lefty the whole game.

This.

Doesn't anyone pay attention to how Jay calls games? It's almost always the matchups both hitting and pitching.

Not really. He is much much more selective than most managers. Then again he is LH heavy and lacks quality RH bats

Man you guys absolutely blow my mind. Beloso would’ve looked worse than Pearson against these lefties.

I would have gone Kling over Jones to lead off just from a speed standpoint. Splitting hairs though.

Because we were pitching a lefty slapdick. None of our left handed batters can hit left handed pitching outside of Morgan. Blows my fricking mind why we didn’t start Kling and put Morgan in left field and Jones at first. They would’ve been acclimated to the game and not asked to pinch hit. So tired of the stupid shite we have to watch. The changes are so simple to make.

The only pinch hitter, called by Jay, in recent memory that worked out was Travinski against ol miss, other than that, every one he’s called since resulted in an out. And Travinski likely should’ve been started all along. Dude is stroking the ball since getting regular playing time!
