Anybody know why coach left plumlee in?

He was getting hit in the 5th...then harder in the 6th. And with cole, liebelt and colby ready to go i cant figure 1 reason why Plumlee pitches the 6th...and its mind boggling that he came in the 7th...then got to pitch after the leadoff double. Surely someone asked in the postgame.

Pretty sure he was 1-2-3 in the fifth and gave up the homer in the 6th but the other three batters grounded out. Long story short, hed been strong for 6 innings and had a low pitch count. I feel like we trust Plumlee more than Cole and Colby right now and liebelt pitched friday night. In retrospect yeah we should’ve pulled him, but he hadnt shown much reason to before the 7th.

He had 48 pitches thru FIVE innings. Dude was rolling and they couldn’t hit him. Gave up the bomb in the 6th and sat the rest down easily. No reason not to let him come back out for the 7th.

He was pitching fine. Might could have even left him in......
Always worried bout reliever immediately throwing strikes

I’m not sure we have a bullpen option they really love in tight situations right now.

Liebelt got shelled. Don’t know if you noticed. The game ended on a rocket to Rowdy.
