But even if he does, his max is probably about 2

Joe Morgan

dang not even 4 mana 4/4 FeelsBadMan

I hope Wright does not throw an inning in the Division Series. As a Red Sox fan the only way I can justify supporting this team is to turn the game off if he plays. I would hate to have to do that during the playoffs.

11:14

So did the bullpen game fail because it's a bad strategy.. or because it involved a start from Liam Hendricks and an appearance from Fernando Rodney (I'm inclined to believe the latter)

Dan Szymborski

11:14

It's nto the strategy it's because the pitchers allowed runs

Cam

11:15

The Treinen star lost some shine today. Which is a shame, because he had a hell of a season.

Bartolo Colon

11:15

It would have worked with an older pitcher.

So the Yankees have the two hardest hit homeruns in the statcast era and both are from tonight.

Dan Szymborski

11:15

443

Disco is Dead

11:15

That would be something, 699 HRs in the next 46 mins....that is one every 4 seconds

Ben Brode

11:16

Dan, will you be trying out Artifact when it comes out?

Dan Szymborski

11:16

Yup

Dystopian Future

11:16

Hey at least Familia can't blow a save in this game

Sheryl Ring

11:17

Miss Molly does not like this game anymore.

Dan Szymborski

11:17

Neither do the A's!

Sheryl Ring

11:17

She is suddenly clawing at Jeurys Familia

What it did do was tamper the bullpen strategy to some degree. If it had been successful tonight, it would have spread like wild fire.

Josh R

11:17

Knee-jerk reaction - What does this game do for the theory of bullpenning?

Dystopian Future

11:17

Someone's name needs to be "Blake Treinen's soulless eyes" because that camera pan was creepy

Sheryl Ring

11:17

Absolutely nothing! It's a one-game sample size!

Dan Szymborski

11:18

Teams aren't as big copycats as many peopel think

11:18

I think what this game says about bullpenning is that you should use good pitchers if you're going to do it

Billy

11:18

I'm half listening to this announcing and am hearing "analytics" and am assuming they aren't saying many smart things.

Dystopian Future

11:19

Camera now pans to happy Edwin Jackson, which makes me happy because he's happy.

Dan Szymborski

11:19

I don't understand how he isn't like 55

Sheryl Ring

11:19

The Rays won't stop bullpenning, and I bet a hundred bucks they'd have started Snell

Disco is Dead

11:19

Bah, the opener isn’t going anywhere based on tonight. This is just a speed bump

Qball

11:19

Do you think it would actually be better strategy to pitch your best relievers first rather than save them for later innings?

Sheryl Ring

11:19

It can be...your best pitchers should face their best hitters

Sean Dolinar

11:20

The A's pitching doing well might have made it an easier sell to players or managers, but I think bullpenning will come out of necessity not from a trend.

Bullpen Game

11:20

Didnt the bullpen style games from last season temper expectations that you could effectively do it all the time, like the Astros basically did it...but with their SPs and a couple of RPs.

Gregg

11:20

Which of the remaining playoff managers has the least job security?

Disco is Dead

11:20

I question the A’s choice of openers moreso than the choice of picking one. There were better options tonight!

Tyler

11:20

Familia is a DV guy right? Is CLE the only AL team without one?

Dan Szymborski

11:20

Snitker?

Sheryl Ring

11:21

I have on good authority that Familia's case is different than most. Beyond that I can't say.

druidiful

11:21

Here's a count of batted balls 116 MPH+ by team this season. Between Stanton and Judge tonight they've hit two. 22… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Hey Sheryl.. jeurys-prudence familia.. heh?
