March 26, 20223 yr Nice play by Trey and good job by Nixon against the heart of their order. Maybe score some runs?

Are you arguing that Pierce should have known that Silas was going to overthrow 2nd? Or he should have known that Melendez wouldn't take the out at first? How do you know that Nixon wouldn't get taken yard by their first hitter? Or walk him just like Southard did?
March 26, 20223 yr This one is on Pierce, sends in guy who can't throw strikes against their 7-9 hitters.

I don’t know any of that, but I do know Nixon is our closer and despite any shaky outings he may have had, he still has a 0.00 ERA. Now we are asking him to go 3 innings when we could have asked him to just start the 8th with a one run lead.

This game is huge and all and I would have completely been on board with putting him in, but I can see Pierce thinking about the next two games. Of course now we are probably going to be without Nixon for the rest of the weekend.

Okay but there's no guarantee they don't tie the game anyway. You admit yourself Nixon has been shaky. He has a 0 ERA but he also hasn't come out to start the 8th yet this year. You're acting like Southard totally blew it and he really didn't. He walked one batter and we fucked it up from there. Either way you're entitled to your opinion. Not saying you aren't right - entirely possible you are. Just trying to defend DP's decision there.
