[QUOTE="Squints, post: 584930, member: 822"] Look I get you're mad but think about it. If English is warming up in the bullpen he is coming into the game at the top of the inning. This has been established literally the entire season. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has watched the team this year. So what exactly are the options here? Pull Thomas and have English pitch the 9th? Because that's what would have happened if he warmed up. And then English wouldn't be available tomorrow. Or have English warm up just in case, play 1B for a few batters because you can't take him out the game then put him back in, then put him on the mound cold in the middle of a jam? The latter is just dumb. No manager or coach would do that. The former just seems like making a call with the benefit of hindsight. Which, unfortunately, you don't have the benefit of in the moment. What indication was there that Thomas was headed for trouble after 8 innings? None that I could see. He was cruising. So you can warm up English and put him in the game in the top of the 9th which burns him for tomorrow or keep in Thomas who was rolling with a three run lead and have English for tomorrow. Those are your only scenarios that involve Tristan English. I don't think going with the second one is bad call. Did it work out? No. But that's the way it goes sometimes. [/QUOTE]
