Every manager does this unfortunately. There is no escaping it.

That’s not how it works.

Stop

Oh lord. Got bad Kimbrel again.

Yankees got 3 in the 6th thanks to the extra man in pinstripes behind the dish. Still batting.

We’ve swung at a lot of balls today.

Considering Webb had just entered the game I’m not sure how that could be interpreted as a negative comment.

Coulombe has sucked recently. Honestly feel better about Webb right now despite that cookie to Rooker.

Didn't know Urias could still hit a ball that far.

I don't think there's any doubt Suarez will go to the 'pen when Bradish returns. Looks like Means may be back too given the performance today, so looks like we may have a logjam, at least temporarily.

This is very encouraging.

Adley seems to love playing the A's

Well he at least made a good pitch to Rooker and god unlucky.

Please pitch around Rooker

We sure found out.

Some people on here really tried to claim Sears was a really good pitcher and way better than Irvin.

I should have posted it in the rants forum. It was venting. Still pissed about pitching to Rooker though. I probably won't watch much the next week or so. It is so infuriating watching us struggle against bad teams and Yankee games are really bad for my blood pressure as well.

I felt that way because he does damage against the Orioles every time he faces us. Why should yesterday be any different? I’m tired of letting Oriole killers beat us. Enough is enough. He could have a single digit OPS and still find a way to murder us.

Baumann should go first. But really, just get rid of the whole bullpen and start over.

Yes. First time I heard him I thought it was Joe Buck. I slowly became more confused as nothing he was saying sounded like stuff Joe Buck would say.

Bleday, the guy after Rooker, has a .630 career OPS. Literally was screaming at my TV not to give Rooker anything to hit and Webb promptly lays in a nice, fat hanging slider. Idiot.

And your strategy would have burned us just like it burned Hyde tonight and will burn us in the playoffs later. EVERYONE KNEW ROOKER WAS DOING DAMAGE THERE. Webb never should have thrown anything close. He's in scoring position in the batters box when he faces us. That was a critical at bat and we let him beat us. You do not let Rooker beat you there. You make the next guy beat you. This is what I mean by a lack of baseball smarts. This is like PHing Hays for O'Hearn a few games ago which people here also defended. Just really stupid baseball.

This team has to start playing better at home. I'm tired of them putting out these sad sack offensive displays in front of 35,000 paying fans against junk teams.

Oh well that settles it.

His velo has recovered. He was lights out before the Angels series.
