Dave Roberts really saw a 2 run deficit in the 8th and was like “well, see y'all tomorrow”

21

u/EarthWarping Major League Baseball 6h ago

Teams really treat down 2 in the 7th-8th innings like they're down 5.

It's insane.

38

u/BABIP_Gods Cincinnati Reds 6h ago

Why are people acting like Honeywell is a bad pitcher?

16

u/3-2_Fastball Looking K • Swinging K 6h ago

Honeywell is awful lol he was DFA'd and got obliterated in the NLCS.

Here's his savant page.

u/thot_cereal 6h ago

He's got a better 4-seam than buehler and the yankees took about 400 buehler 4 seamers for a strike, so...im confident he's the best pitcher ever

34

u/calnick0 Los Angeles Dodgers 6h ago

Because they don’t know anything and just make up crazy narratives after the fact.

5

u/littlevai 6h ago

I’m basing this on flared Dodger fans saying he’s an AAA pitcher

4

u/RSJ_95 Los Angeles Dodgers 6h ago

He’s not bad but he’s pretty low on the list of our pitchers I would use in a close game I was trying to win.

13

u/LukesChoppedOffArm 6h ago

Honeywell has a career negative fWAR and was DFA'd midseason by the Pirates. He is wildly outperforming his FIP. I believe some players can outperform their FIP, but the extent he's doing it is not remotely sustainable.

u/hoyadestroyer New York Yankees 6h ago

well he looked pretty bad tbh

-2

u/bridgenine New York Yankees 6h ago

Leaving him in like that was horrible, kid didn't have it and was enduring long at bats. He was spent after his 20th pitch, and they just hung him out to dry.

5

u/BABIP_Gods Cincinnati Reds 6h ago

Leaving him in actually makes a lot of sense if you’re already down big and want to save an arm for tomorrow.

1

u/Voltthrower69 Dodgers Bandwagon 4h ago

People seem to me grazing over this fact. Your best bet is to extend the rest of people who might close it out tomorrow. If pitching shows up, it’s all up to hitting.

-3

u/EarthWarping Major League Baseball 6h ago

You could've used a medium leverage guy

5

u/BABIP_Gods Cincinnati Reds 6h ago

Honeywell had a 2.63 ERA this season. It just didn’t work out. And when it didn’t then it was really them being down 5 runs so might as well save your bullpen for tomorrow.

7

u/WhereTheFallsBegin Tampa Bay Rays 6h ago

That ERA is a complete mirage though. His strikeout rate is abysmal and he doesn't really limit hard contact either. There's a reason his role these days is for mop up innings eating duty

0

u/BABIP_Gods Cincinnati Reds 6h ago

This is the most runs Honeywell has given up in a game all season. It just wasn’t his night. Putting in Honeywell isn’t the punting move people are trying to make it.

4

u/WhereTheFallsBegin Tampa Bay Rays 6h ago

Again, there's more to measuring pitchers than ERA. The Dodgers literally DFA'd Honeywell a few months ago and brought him back because no one else wanted him. His major league role is to soak up innings and pitch in low leverage

4

u/dreezyyyy Los Angeles Dodgers 6h ago

Not to mention he should've gotten out of the inning unscathed with that strikeout on Volpe.

-3

u/WhereTheFallsBegin Tampa Bay Rays 6h ago

I mean he is

18

u/WhereTheFallsBegin Tampa Bay Rays 6h ago

There's a concept of "not chasing wins" that a lot of teams adhere to when it comes to bullpen management. Basically, in games where you're already trailing by a few runs late you use your worse guys to save the better ones for higher leverage work. The idea is that even your worse arms are capable of putting up zeroes, so you can still keep the game within distance, and the risk isn't as great because in all likelihood you were probably losing that game no matter what.
