the walks are on Fujinami but he pitched himself out of it to a 5-4 lead, Mateo though had that big hit is suppose to make that play 10 times out of 10 if your keeping a barely .200 hitter on the roster he better be a gold glove. especially when you have the likes of Ortiz in the AAA who can easily match Mateos bat and glove and has upside to be way way better 

I think the Mateo experiment is over.  It was worth trying.  He gave us glimpses of being a five tool player.  Alas the man can NOT hit consistantly.  And there have been hints that his defense was not as hyped as far back as last year.  

But I expect Elias to keep playing him because he liked in the dugout and he is fast.

If we don’t score; do you bring o ur Bautista or let someone else ride and hope for him in extra?

I think since we didn't see him in the 8th Hyde probably doesn't want him going two today.

Why is McCann bunting???

Save him for the 10th.   It's harder in the 10th because they start with a man on base, so it's even more important to have your best then.

TB wants this game bad. Fairbanks three straight days. 
 

Hyde didn't do a good job with arm barn management today.

If we traded away Arozarena, Alcantara, Gallen, Thomas and others, I’m sure there’d be incessant bitching here, too. 

That’s what I’m saying.  We bitch about losing a slightly above average player for years.  Imagine if we traded all those guys.

We blew a 5-0 lead.

Imagine this team with three legitimate back of the bullpen guys instead of just one. Perhaps next year.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Surprised that wasn’t called a strike

Well, but you can't do that. Pitchers are precious assets, blah, blah.

[Moose Milligan]

I’m not blaming this game on the umpire but they certainly don’t have the same zone for both teams.
