The San Diego Pedres survived Thursday night in Petco Park. They will try to move on Friday. Pedres made five home runs in the epic with a later victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series (SD11, STL9). Both clubs will play Winner-Take-All Game 3 on Friday night (7:08 p.m. ET on ESPN).
The Cardinals are no doubt disappointed with the loss of Game 2, but they may feel comfortable knowing they will be on the mound in Game 3 on Friday. Pedres? They have “no idea” who will start Game 3, manager Jesse Tingler said after Game 2.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do with our pitching,” Tingler told reporters after Game 2, including field-level media. “… I guess we’ll get a very good effort from what we use., And that will be a lot of people. The bullpen has been designed and prepared. They’ve kept us in the game.”
On Friday afternoon, Pedres announced the launch of Game 3 to p te right reliever Craig Stamman. This will be Stemman’s first start since 2010. He has since made 408 relief appearances, including 24 with a 5.63 ERA this season. Stamman threw a scoreless innings in Game 1.
“We’ve got a lot of men who have thrown a lot of innings,” Tingler told reporters. San Diego Union-Tribune, Friday. “We’ll go with Craig, initially take the ball in his hands and get as many outs as possible and from there we’re going to keep him together.”
In this series – and possibly the entire postseason – due to hand injuries, Pedres is without top starting Danielson Lamet and Mike Clevinger. Chris Pad ack that underwhelming had a regular season and survived only 2 1/3 innings in Game 1. Zach Davis had a great regular season, but he went into Game 2 in just two innings. Paddock and Davis allowed 10 runs in their 4/3 combined innings.
Tingler used nine different concessions in games 1 and 2, including six concessions in both games. Rookie Wright Luis Petino and veterans Dan Altavilla and Tim Hill are the only Pedres Hurlers who have not yet appeared in the Wild Card series on the active roster. Here are the pitch counts of the nine relievers appearing in the series:
Only once during the regular season did Pedres use the relief on the back-to-back days and the question is not whether he will use anyone for the third day in Game 3, but who he will be, how much he will have, And how effective will they be? Pomeranz, Richards and Rosenthal have a history of hand injuries and could be reconciled with pitching again on Friday.
“We’re going back-to-back guys. They’ve thrown a ton of pitches. We don’t know how it’s going to go,” Tingler told Sanders. Tingler told Sanders. “What we do know, which we are confident in, is that we will keep a group of boys, especially on the pitching side, especially outside the bullpen, that they will put whatever is there tonight. We’ll see where it takes us. “
In 20 years and 342 days, Patino is the youngest player on the postseason roster this year and is one of the best prospects in the game. The right-hander struggled during the regular season, but allowed 10 runs in 17 1/3 innings in his MLB debut. He scored 21, but also walked 14, and made just one start compared to 10 reliefs.
That said, Patino is the newest hand in the bullpen and is capable of providing length – he had a 7.77 ARA with 133 strikeouts in a minor league innings of 94 2/3 last year – so Tinger has no choice but to ask him. For innings. Our RJ Anderson ranked Patino as the 46th prospect in Batbin before the season:
Luis Petino is listed at 6 feet, 192 pounds, which bets his future is in the bullpen. Still, he will make the pitch as a 20-year-old next season, and the combination of his stuff (he has a lively above average fastball ball and a proper out pitch in his slider) and polish indicates he deserves a chance to start until then. The body and / or its consequences say otherwise. There are some areas where Petino shows his age, starting with the changes within him and increasing his workload … On the other side he needs to continue his command … Petino still has huge potential The results are – with further development, it is the next starter of rotation; Without it, maybe it’s just a high-benefit reliever – and that’s okay.
A possible game 3 Wild Card: Pad Pad h. He threw 46 pitches in a Game 1 loss, and although between the usual of throwing a bullpen session on Saturday, Pedres could ask him to throw an innings in Game 3 on Friday based on his low pitch count in Game 1. Related to the whole beginning) and their pitching circumstances. I don’t think it will happen – Padd or Tommy John has had surgery and it’s very important for the team’s long-term future – but maybe it’s an emergency option.
Pedres came into the Wild Card series planning a Bullpen game in Game 3 due to injuries to Matt and Clevinger. Turning Games 1 and 2 into semi-bullpen games because Padak and Davis struggle and jump early is certainly not part of the plan, and it keeps the team tied by going into Game 3. His pitching staff is very tired overall.
Of course, this post is se.n, and in the presence of post fans can be a great equalizer even if they are not fans of adrenaline. Case in point: Liam Hendrix. Athletics threw 49 high tension pitches in their team’s Game 2 win on Wednesday, Then returned and not only stopped a Game 3 win on Thursday, he threw his five quick knots of the trip. Pedres hopes some of his bullpen weapons will boost postseason adrenaline on Friday.
The San Diego Bullpen have worked very hard in games 1 and 2, but I have no doubt that every game involves relieved people who have entered both games, will be available in Game 3, the only questions are whether Tinger has nine innings How to navigate, how (or if) Patino fits, and whether anyone will be ineffective given their recent workload. NLDS starts on Tuesday. If Bullpen can provide one more Herculean effort in Game 3, there will be a three-day break.
