I am actually fine w Hays going there.

Tons of chances to win this game today just couldn't get it done.

Tough game. Very frustrating.

Acuna goes 650 dead center to send us home

[Gurgi]

At least we dont have to watch Bautista struggle.  Some other brave soul will man up and take the loss.

Hays had to try.  There isn’t much left in the bullpen.

Sometimes it's that special player that makes a special play. Hats off to Acuna. 

 

But when you know it's one of those special players... don't freaking run.

There are guys with great arms that I still might take a shot there .  A Ramon Laureano or something.   Make them make the great play.   

But Acuna is at another level, it's like running on Clemente or something.

Yah to people doing their job!

That guy at Publix this morning, I saw sure proud of the way he sliced my cold cuts.

That’s a good thing.  I go out of my way to thank and acknowledge people who take & do their job well and do it with pride.

Who did he think that he was running on? That was moronic at best!

Hyde may have said to be aggressive. Trying to save the bullpen, and I'm partly serious.

I didn’t realize we had to forgive one run losses to one of the best teams in baseball. That’s just silly 

It’s the way we lost.

But so proud of them for hanging around a while....blah blah.....

Rays are losing 5-0 to Gerrit Cole. At least they'll be on a losing streak when they come in.

That had nothing to do with getting a break.

In terms of balls in play, there are only so many that give rise to a double play w a man on 2nd.   Dumb by Hays for sure.

[eddie83]

So go after Acuna and walk Olson. 

[SilverRocket]

This thread would've been going crazy if Hays didn't try it and the next batter hit a fly ball to the outfield.

At the end of the day, that was a strike by Acuna. It was the right thing to do to try and make it. Acuna just showed why he's a 5 tool guy. 

I still maintain that Hays was significantly slowed down but the time the tag was applied.
