I understand the strategy because of how decimated the staff is with injuries, but Espada’s insistence on constantly stretching pitchers an extra batter/inning is fucking maddening.  There is no fucking way Hernandez should have been allowed to give up 5 runs and it was idiotic to have Scott warm up 3 separate times.  Finally, going to fucking Montero as the stopper is stupid.  They should have gone to Scott as soon as Hernandez gave up 2 runs.

 

They turned a “we’re back” statement game into a “we are fucking pitiful even when we kick ass” statement game.

If Hernandez can't go 2 innings in that situation, he shouldn't be on the roster.  And he shouldn't.

Hernandez should have never pitched to Henderson a second time.

His 2nd HR made it a 6 run game and cut our win expectancy from 99.8 to 99.6%
