vs. MARINERS 7/03

[scOtt]

Why did showalter wait until after the blown save to remove strop?

Buck has a rep I'd say. He tries to get struggling pitchers through an inning. Almost to a fault.

[Greg]

The April/May O's would go and win this game from here. Let's see what they've got now.

[WEAVERMAN]

It honestly is hard to understand why a clearly wild Strop was left in to self-destruct.

He should have been replaced well before it was 4-4. This manager is having a horrible series.

[Il BuonO]

What a performance by Strop, G.D. awful, and the manager sits there.

...but he's often had command issues and gotten a DP at the right moment to get out of it. You keep putting runners on and what happened tonight is bound to happen. And to think people on here wanted to trade JJ and have Strop be the closer. Ridiculous.

[MDK02]

Mariners are 12 games under .500 right? Do we make them look good or what

[Malike]

We are going to pound Furbush!

Yes....

[El Gordo]

Don't forget that Strop had a stike that the ump blew. Would have changed things.

[tntoriole]

I was asleep...woke up just in the seventh inning to watch the first hit, lost nohitter, lost shutout, lost win, blown save, lost game...this team is soooooooo terrible right now...i predict losing every game through the break..under 500 and last place...

That's what she said!

[crissfan172]

C'mon...there's no way Betemit should be batting here with Reynolds on the bench.

[Why_Knott?]

furbush throws gas for a retarded lefty

[Surhoffan17]

You hate Strop?

OK Fine!!!! I lost my composure (Ironically like Strop did). I don't hate him. But I did hate is performance and Showalter has almost single-handedly lost these two games!!! He was what was holding back the teams that he managed!! That's why they all got better after he left!

Although strop has been this wild for like two weeks, so it wasn't exactlyan aberrant performance

[Il BuonO]

Not sure why you have hate for Strop....he's been awesome pretty much all year...until tonight.

...but he's often had command issues and gotten a DP at the right moment to get out of it. You keep putting runners on and what happened tonight is bound to happen. And to think people on here wanted to trade JJ and have Strop be the closer. Ridiculous.
