Anyone can give up a run. 

And Fuji gives up a lot of them.

I get why he was pulled, I'm giving my OPINION as to why it was it was a bad move. And now Fuji just showed Hyde why he's a dumbass. 

Also it's not like Irvin hasn't started a game since April. He was starting games in mid-July. 

You would know.

[baltfan]

Leave him out for another inning.  He threw a bad pitch and the guy barely hit it out. 

[Chavez Ravine]

Setting the  home run aside, Fuji  did well

[Alasdaire]

We're running out of time for Fuji to be someone you can run out there in the playoffs. There's almost no proof of concept that he's a competent MLB pitcher. There's nothing to hang your hat on other than the radar gun and him ostensibly having a bunch of pitches he can throw. That's not enough to justify appearing in a do-or-die game.

You make more bad posts than Fuji does pitches.

Irvin should have come out for the 6th

Totally agree. He was around what 80 pitches??

[vab]

He's an enigma. The stuff is so tantalizing, though. If it doesn't work out here he'll get more chances - the stuff is just too good.

If we were all feeling this frustrated seeing Fuji hang a splitter and give up the lead on a home run, just imagine the emotions Cole Irvin was feeling after having pitched so well to be eligible for the mead, be told he's getting pulled against his wish, and then see the guy behind him blow the lead/win credit.

Wow someone's triggered. Can't stand it when someone disagrees with you? Grow up.

*eligible for the win

Melanie is not miked in at the right volume.  At the end of her diatribe it went quiet and I could not hear what she was saying.   Probably a good thing for me but bad for Masn.

I'm not triggered at all. I'm just calling out the clown show you put on all day every day.

[O's84]

Of course.
