The problem here is that Dusty thinks he is justified in his management of this game. Instead of playing the better players more, he thinks he is very smart.

yup, Dusty is a genius for PH the guy who should have played the whole game.

Dubon pinch hitting for Meyers with Maldonado on deck makes no sense

Fun fact for Blummer, Tucker is not very fast

Tucker has been a + base runner in every season in the majors, except his rookie season. Your reliance on straight line sprint speed when players have to run in a circle is fucking moronic.

Does anybody have Maton making a “face” gif  in the bullpen? I think he might have raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth slightly.

He already burned his backup catcher, you want Salazar playing?

6 of one

[runthebone 7,990]

No, the point is you let Meyers hit and then PH for Maldonado because he would only come up if there were a RISP

[Mo Horn 8,848]

We suck in extra innings

[billfromlaketravis 11,489]

The Cyborg just shrugged his shoulders. We. Are. Screwed. 
 

Obviously the creator from SNG implanted the emotion trip into Data and we will lose.

He was never going to pinch hit for Maldonado after already using Diaz.

I want a cash refund for money Maton

Why?  Isn't that why we're carrying Salazar?  And it was still the same inning, Diaz could have stayed in at catcher anyway.

Nm, forgot Julks was at DH.

Awful

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

well if the dudes got more than 1 run 

[Scraps 13,561]

Get a double play asshat

We would lose the DH, which I guess is fine.

[Scraps 13,561]

Did Pressly give the BP aids or what

[HtownHorn 14,691]

Lulz at this meltdown.

[perfectchaos007 6,661]

Ballgame

[Rimbo 25,946]

[Scraps 13,561]

Get the fuck out of the game dickwad

[runthebone 7,990]

The important thing is that we forced them to use a relief pitcher in the 10th, which may totally fuck them in game 1 of their next series, muhahahaha, muhahaha!

 

[Rimbo 25,946]

[Mo Horn 8,848]

I chose poorly tonight to spend my evening watching this shit 

[HtownHorn 14,691]

The Angels did us a favor by taking the series from Texas and we can only pick up 1 game while playing the Nationals. We are officially lollygaggers.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

All this minutes after the idiot rangers left them loaded in the bottom of the 9th.

[Gut Wagon 8,079]

Now sitting at what, roughly a 91-win pace? Seems optimistic.

He is a good base stealer and has good instincts. If you were listening Blummer specifically called out his speed. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

I blame Diaz for not knowing the situation and not hitting a homerun instead of a single. Cmon rook. 

[Scraps 13,561]

Lets go ladies

[tx 3 putt 76,980]

[Scraps 13,561]

Kalas counting 4 game hitting streaks....bruh lmao

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Screw this pansy team.

[perfectchaos007 6,661]

0-5 in extras now

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

2022 WS in spite of Dusty

[Guadaloopy 10,973]

Well, crap.  Back at it tomorrow.  

[Chuckie Finster 22,694]

This team just doesn’t have it. I’ll be pissed if we trade any part of our future to try and go all in with this mediocre squad.

[perfectchaos007 6,661]

There's good reason no team has been able to repeat since the 1999 and 2000 Yankees. Fuck the Yankees btw

[tx 3 putt 76,980]

[UTexasFight 9,454]

Yep

he wasn’t quite as out in front of it at Kendrick but that location brought back terrible thoughts

This is what I came to post. Dusty is pissed at Diaz for only driving in 1 run with 1 PA instead of 2. Fucker. 

[tx 3 putt 76,980]

Please try to keep this thread positive for Diaz 

[Rockethorn1978 6,088]

If our shit offense could score runs consistently we wouldn’t be bitching about pitching so much.

If our lineup allowed was optimized for it daily that would really help

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Dusty's refusal to pinch hit for Maldy is infuriating and defies any logic whatsoever. In the 9 outs between the 8th and 10th innings we allowed perhaps the worst hitter in the majors to record two of them despite having a backup catcher on the bench. Make it make sense. 

[n64ra 1,086]

How is the RP so terrible? 0-5 in extra innings! WTF

The bullpen is terrible because they give up walks and HRs.

[tx 3 putt 76,980]

#1 era 

#6 whip

that’s entire pitching staff. We’re not scoring runs to support some excellent pitching. Bullpen stats aren’t too far off those numbers. 1.27 whip is avg, like it’s been said need to on walks and hits.
