That’s how it’s playing out. But the only choice for Chas was to try and sac fly in the run. Otherwise it would get stranded. He had to swing at crap and try
Dontrelle had to say that dumb shit about having to throw strikes to get us out because we’re not chasing… and four guys proceed to strike out while swinging at what would be balls.
No. Not because of this sweep. What’s concerning is that we’re in a dogfight for a winnable division and we have a manager that is playing suboptimal bats every game and making stupid decisions. And it’s not just one tweak, it’s multiple. There is zero fucking reason dubey should be playing today. Yanier should starts. And don’t get me started on dumb shit like that challenge on fan interference. Make it make sense for me please.
As Tom Herman once said, winning is hard. It’s even harder when a stubborn dummy is in charge of decision making.
This is the stupidest shit ever. He was playing the odds that Singleton would draw a walk (that .275 has to be on base pct, nfw it is batting avg)?!? So Peña could fuck it up after him? Seriously?!?! Gtfo dusty.
or Dusty can not just play a shit lineup with so many auto outs.
I mean seriously, Peña surprises us with a double, and there was no doubt that the triumvirate of suck Meyers, Maldo, and Dubon would never bring him in. I get that Altuve getting hurt couldn’t be predicted. But there is no fucking reason Meyers should ever see the field unless it’s an emergency. Makes zero sense that both Chas and Brantley’s bats sat on the bench the whole game (besides the last at bat).
They still have a series with the dodgers as well as 7 of their last 10 against the rangers with a series against us sandwiched in the middle. Frankly, if they win the division they’ll have earned it.
We just need to win every series, which is doable, and the division should be ours while the rangers and mariners beat each other up.
I was hoping Arizona would fade but they keep winning. That final series against them will be a dogfight as both teams seem like they’ll have something to play for.
That’s on dusty. He needs to wake up from his fucking nap.
It’s clear maldy is uncomfortable after taking a foul in the groin. Diaz is gonna bat next inning anyways. Should have just put him in.
Lmao at the idea of a seasoned exec with decades of valuable business insight gambling a golden parachute on a hunch when he has better alternatives (ie delay vote and keep whipping). A real vet doesn’t let that vote happen unless he knows he’s gonna win. At the very least he could vote last to ensure he’s on the winning side. We’ve seen all series, it’s all about self interest and self preservation with those people. Of course him voting last isn’t as dramatic for tv.
Maybe, but then Frank, who was aligned with Mattson and had the ability to delay the vote, let the vote go on. He would never do that unless he knew for certain Mattson was going to win. He couldn’t let the kids win, not get his golden parachute, and what then get fired?
So Shiv’s last second flip flop makes no sense.
