Maybe the conversion to the bullpen has helped. His last several outings he only has walked couple of batters which is a huge improvement for him. -
Justin Anderson w a shaky save today. 2-run lead, he gets the 1st 2 outs in the 9th, then walks the bases loaded before getting the last out. Parker looks like the better bet here.Comment

Any sea why the padres decided to bring hand in for the 8th and let Yates close?Comment

based on the score and results, I wonder if Padres wanted to join the trend and give Hand a 2-IP save, but circumstances changed?
interesting usage. but without info, I would not panic as a Hand owner who already is playing with house money (maybe for 2 years, and I wish it was me)finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I didnt understand this one. The previous time Hand was brought in early, it made sense because the game was on the line. Not the case tonite as they had a 3-run lead. The only thing I can think of is that they were going to let Hand throw 2 innings but he threw 25 pitches in the 8th and they didnt want his pitch count to get too high. But that still doesnt explain well why they brought him in early when Yates was available and the game wasnt on the line.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment

My guess is Votto was leading off the 8th and was 3 for 3.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment

From what I was reading, he got ahead two strikes on each of those guys and then got squeezed tight by the umps with a lot of good pitches questionably called balls.Originally posted by rhd View PostComment

Yup, and Gennett was up right after Votto, so it made total sense to use Hand in a high leverage situation.Originally posted by fuhrdog View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

As a Yankee fan and an Aroldis Chapman owner I feel a little bit guilty, but not really, about being happy that Holder managed to take a 7-2 9th inning lead and turn it into an opportunity for Chapman to close a 7-4 game facing just one batter (and striking him out). That should still leave him available to close the nightcap as well.
