Gotta bat for Rojas here
Should have sent Stott knowing Casty was up next & would probably stroke out

Johan Rojas strikes out swinging.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Philadelphia Phillies
Ridiculous
Rojas 0 for 10 with RISP.
Swinging at bad pitches.
Should have sent Stott
They consider putting a relief pitcher in in the second but not a pinch hitter in the fourth with bases loaded. I don’t get it.
I mean Casty swinging at Casty things, and Rojas...well when bases are juiced I'd rather just have him lean into a pitch then watch him swing the bat...WTH did he just swing at, ball was in a diff zipcode and he swung
Is the drop off defensively from Rojas to Pache that much that we keep watching him k?
I can’t get mad about Rojas. We know he’s overmatched at this point, but Nick is a veteran and currently couldn’t hit a ball with a 10 foot bat right now.
agree to sending stott ... thought running on outfield arms was part of the olan
Also we need a new figure base coach next year.
Emmanuel Rivera
Called strike (77.4 mph curveball)In play, no out (80.3 mph changeup)
Emmanuel Rivera singles on a ground ball to center fielder Johan Rojas.
Think there was even a thought of starting Cave in right
Yes he’s overmatched. Playing Pache would give us a guy that might get a hit. Ridiculous of Rob to refuse to sit him or move the lineup around.
Right, we could sit Casty and start cave in right - better defense and better offense
Waltham has got to know that after Realmuto, they had two dead outs coming up.
Geraldo Perdomo
Mound Visit.Foul bunt (91.8 mph sinker)In play, out(s) (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Geraldo Perdomo out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher Ranger Suarez to first baseman Bryce Harper. Emmanuel Rivera to 2nd.
I am ok with Rojas, if he would take pitches. He has to know he is currently a horrible bat so why swing at every pitch.
