Lots of questionable coaching decisions but these three are particularly odd:
1) starting Belt against a leftie
2) choosing Cimber to come in against Trout when instead of Pop or Bass
3) sending Bichette to steal second with Chapman up while down two
Schneider needs to be better than this.
My guess is they keep Berríos in the starting rotation but have Mitch White ready to come in early…essentially a piggy back situation. I don’t know what to say about Berríos. His fastball is ####. He had luck with his slurve but starting a guy whose most effective pitch is a slurve isn’t a recipe for success.
