vs. ATHLETICS 7/27

Gonna really sting if Lindstrom goes 1-2-3.

We needed 4 freaking outs before Strop and JJ after a dramatic comeback and Buck uses our mop-up duty call up for that SPOT. I can't let this go.

I know it's the game thread, but calling for Buck's head as manager is pretty dumb IMO. Guy has been great. I was thoroughly pleased with him until this latest move.. I will continue to be unless junk like this becomes a trend.

The 1st question in the Post game to Buck should be why did you bring a AAAA guy 6th in arguably the biggest game of the year to protect a 1 run lead when you have so many better options? Inexcusable.

He's 2/3 of the way there.

[Tony-OH]

Now he goes to Lindstrom when we are losing. Let's see our 13th pitcher protecting a lead. Great job BUCK.

Brutal understanding of leverage situations.

I sympathize. I wish I had something to punch right now.

I'm not saying fire him. I'm saying what a gigantic blunder.

It sure is a pleasure watching Hardy's defense. Even if sometimes his offense calls me to pull out what's left of my horseshoe hair.

BTDubs, Hardy hitting .273/.385/.455 since CLE before tonight.

[erb8472]

I wish our pitchers had to take one punch in the nads for every walk. Probably see guys attacking the zone more.

[LA2]

Telling from his facial expression, complexion, and body language, Buck knows he screwed up, no matter what he says in the post-game.

Go knock on the next door neighbor's door. Really, It will do you some good. The cops will probably understand.

Of course, a guy from CROFTON, was going all SWAT team loony with his "Guns don't kill people, I do shirt" So no. Don't go next door.

That's great, but he didn't do my receding hairline any favors in June.

He is a good manager who made a moronic move because he got greedy. He has gotten more greedy as the season has gone on like trying to get three innings from Ayala on Sunday.
