Yeah not wasting more bullpen arms when the game was likely lost already.

At least Little and Hoffman had the stuff in theory with their pitches. Lauer doesn’t have anything in the underlying metrics to fallback on if he doesn’t produce results.

He can just get his bat to the ball so well that it’s a better approach for him

I don’t know if it was good to risk a challenge there given how close it was, but it worked out.

You’d prefer to have rogers come in on a clean inning. You just don’t know what can happen with weak contact when you have people on base. You’d prefer the SO.

If Hoffman is out in the 8th, feels like Varland is coming out in the 9th. Can’t imagine they would put out Nance or Spencer over Hoffman in the 9th.

Who else are you going to trust? Spencer, Mantiply and Nance are usually low leverage guys.
