@leafpackjays @JohnnyGiunta_ Explain why throwing Hoffman instead of Rodgers for an extra 15 pitches this one game is a good idea

@JohnnyGiunta_ Unfortunately people are just tweeting nonsense heat of the moment stuff which I get, but blaming John Schneideris just pure retardation

I genuinely don’t know what people want from me man. I literally said he was bad and shouldn’t be closing. I’ve been saying this for a week on the podcast and on here. Im watching the same games as you all I know how bad it’s been. I am on the same side of everyone

@TOJaysCorner @Staal_Is_King @JohnnyGiunta_ I never said consistently, in a game we NEED? Absolutely he should. There’s also gonna be games we won’t even use him. Take the two now.

@dicky101191 @Staal_Is_King @JohnnyGiunta_ I think giving relievers two innings consistently isn’t all that great IMO, especially for a guy that’s gonna end up coming into tons of games We did the same thing with Hoffman last year, and his velo fell off a cliff and his season spiraled

Louis was literally in the bullpen to pitch the ninth! WHICH IS WHAT EVERYONE ON THIS APP ASKED FOR!

@tommy6797 @JohnnyGiunta_ So a 2 hit 2 run game looks better for the offense than a 12 H 2 Run? We’re clearly hitting the ball

@dicky101191 @JohnnyGiunta_ u must love luis arraez

I will never understand why it is controversial to say the offense was dog shit and so was the guy who pitched the 8th? Both things are true! The players haven’t shown up in the last 3 weeks even when you try to put them in better spots.

@SportsDataQuest @JohnnyGiunta_ Brother lmfao. I’m not talking about the hit perspective. Rodgers could’ve took the ball for another inning. That’s my point. But again, would a 2 h and 2 run game looks better? I think It looks worse.

@dicky101191 @JohnnyGiunta_ Hits don't win games, runs win games.

@SportsDataQuest @scotttyyz @JohnnyGiunta_ See how that worked

@dicky101191 @scotttyyz @JohnnyGiunta_ Because he pitches one inning. He rarely goes 2. It's part of why he's available every day

@JohnnyGiunta_ Man Johnny, I’m usually on your side. How can you not see this. I had a Facebook post a few years ago when Yimi had a 9 pitch inning and got pulled. GIVE THE GOOD GUYS TWO INNINGS

@dicky101191 Everyone is the best manager in the world in hindsight

@JohnnyGiunta_ No, I’m saying. We hit, Hoffman outing killed the flow. This was Schneiders fault. Keep Rodgers for 2 and Varland the 9th we win. For sure

@dicky101191 Surely they scored more than 2 runs then no? Does more hits mean you won

@Staal_Is_King @JohnnyGiunta_ Still. The point I’m saying is give Rodgers two innings and we win..

@dicky101191 @JohnnyGiunta_ Hoffman got demoted as closer and he got put in a situation he’s supposed to handle and couldn’t

@JohnnyGiunta_ Brutal showing from Schneider man. I’m a fan I am, but this game was awful, Rodger’s come in the 7th pitched great, and gets pulled. If we keep Rodger’s for Varland we’re winning this game.

This is the only correct take. Team is swinging pool noodles and not pitching well in leverage when called upon. I don’t know why this is controversial. The players are at fault.

@JohnnyGiunta_ X

@scotttyyz @JohnnyGiunta_ Let Rodger’s rock 7 and 8 why just one inning lmfao

@JohnnyGiunta_ I seem to remember everyone asking for 8th and 9th being Rogers and Varland

@Staal_Is_King @JohnnyGiunta_ Not tonight he didn’t

@JohnnyGiunta_ Schneider has made all the right moves last few games. The players have let us down night after night

@JohnnyGiunta_ So Hoff can blow the 9th instead of the 8th. Come on Johnny let Rodger’s throw two. This is a bad coaching sequence

@JohnnyGiunta_ Rodger’s throws a 0hit and gets pulled. Let him toss two and put Varland for the 9th. Not crazy just simple

“Move him from closer to like the 8th inning” *gets moved to the 8th inning and not closer* “MOVE HIM THE 7TH IVE ALWAYS SAID THIS!” It’s very easy to just say everything in hindsight that’s correct. The reality is this is exactly what people asked for.

@JohnnyGiunta_ Time to have the Schneider convo…

Don’t have him closing games so you give him the 8th and then that happens. Speechless

@JohnnyGiunta_ Honestly what is Schneider doing dude. I was on his side this early season but this is fucked

Wow they gave Hoff the 8th

@JohnnyGiunta_ Where tf do people find that stat for balls hit in other ball parks 🤣

How did that not land on the fukin moon

@JohnnyGiunta_ Cause we looked great with them right 😔

Next week with Barger and Springer back can’t come fast enough. My god

Great job Valenzuala man your runner is at third base now and he’s the leading run
