Saturday, June 10 -- Adley/Captain America Bobblehead day vs Royals

I'm totally fine with the short leash on Irvin there. It's important that he's part of the rotation again, and pitchers have fragile egos. Let him walk after having only given up a run. Three long flys last inning too.

Rutschman consistently throws to the third base side of the bag.

OUT! good play Rutsch after recent bad plays behind the plate.

Suck on that you jackass! Running trailing by 3 runs.

I think that I can tell you that.

Personally I don't think they should start playing matchups offensively until the 7th inning unless it's a key situation and the platoon difference was huge and you gain a defensive advantage. And certainly not in a 4-1 game.

Stupid stupid stupid walk .. Baker does this not infrequently

Way too quick with the hook on Irvin.

 Irvin got his chance to go deeper. I'm fine with the tight leash. A bunch of RHB coming up.

I'm not sure you get baseball. lol Why would he not try and get in scoring position with two outs?

Cuz the risk is not worth the extra base when you're trailing by 3 runs. Just ran themselves out of a 2 on and 1 out situation.

Baker lost some stank on his fastball this year.

He's got a 4-1 lead and as at 72 pitches. I think it was too early. Maybe you don't let him face the tie run at the plate, but you got to let him see if he can get the next guy.

Not complaining about the throw but it really was Frazier's foot placement that kept Witt from being able to grab on with his trailing foot as he slid past the bag, that cut down that attempt. 

[Beysbol]

I was thinking this was a night game.

It's amazing they are in line to win their 40th game on June 10th in spite of Hyde making all the wrong moves this season. Imagine the record if we had a manager with a clue.

Did I say he made all the wrong moves?  Or that some of his moves are frustrating?  And even head scratching.  Besides,  even with the good record, that doesn't mean management or the front office is perfect and doesn't make mistakes.   Even the best teams should constantly be trying to get better and improve by making smarter decisions and replacing non-performing players.
