I don't mind that. Thought they might do it a 3rd time with Braun in the 9th. With a pitcher on deck, you can defend walking Reynolds. It's not the moves. It's the performance of players.

Why not try to get Reynolds out so that the pitchers spot is leading off next inning?

.

We stole a game from them yesterday.

We were about to steal ANOTHER game from them today, when they stole it right back from us.

These 2 games remind(ed) me of 2 games that we played against the Red Sox in 2009.

In the first game, we came back from being down 10-0 to beat them 11-10.

The very next day, Bradley Steven Bergesen threw 8 innings of 1-run ball, and we took a 5-1 lead into the 9th and final inning. Our bullpen gave up 4 runs in the top of the 9th, the Bostonians pushed across another run in the top of the 11th to beat us, and the previous day's euphoria over our historic comeback was doused with major heartbreak.

Buck is getting killed on twitter.

The only questionable thing Buck did tonight was take Cruz out of the game in the 9th.. it wasn't necessarily a bad call just somewhat questionable. Everything else was the right move IMO.

Sounds great if you think Reynolds is an automatic out. Reynolds can beat you with a homer. He has 12 already.

Nobody is ever an automatic out. Treating him like he is Barry Bonds is laughable. There is a reason he is batting 7th for them and not 4th.

I almost agree.

Reynolds has 12 HR this year. Gallardio has 12 HRs in his entire career.

Runner on first with two outs scores 14% of the time. What are the chances Reynolds hits a home run? Im guessing it is less than 10%.

With T.J pitching a lot higher then 10%

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?

      The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.

      On the replay you can see that Julio was lightly jogging after the ball-- either assuming the RF would get it, or assuming Hays wouldn't run. Good on Hays for taking advantage and turning it into a double.

      I think in general people are more negative in life not just in sports and they need to blame someone or something.  In previous years we had a scapegoat in Peter and John.  Elias didn’t go out and make a trade it was because he didn’t have the money to go get anyone or the owner didn’t want to spend.  Now for the most part people seem to think new ownership will give the ok to spend more so now if we don’t do it it is on Elias, Sig, and Hyde for not getting best out of the players.  We dint make a big trade last year and most people just went with well John is cheap we don’t do what they want now it will fall on Elias more then last year in peoples eyes imo.
