Hyde's usage of Lopez has been absolutely mind-boggling.

Who else there?

That inning was really on Coulombe. Faced three guys and only got an out because of a gift from the ump.

not really...he was a strikeout too late...we trail...Lopez didnt do the job...

[Chavez Ravine]

Their Lopez is better than our Lopez. We are going to have to work it.

[Roy Firestone]

This entire game is really on Kremer who has just nothing left in the tank when we needed him most...

Minus giving up the lead part.

Texas blowing Seattle out and KC blowing the Astros out. What an interesting and fun season this is.

It’s because he does not want to put guys on the 40 man when he does not have to.  He really isnt going "all in" on the season.  Long term issues always win out it seems.  

That’s not the reason. 40 man issues aren’t why different arms aren’t up here.

There was still no need to send down Irvin.

He brought up Vespi for that move, had him up for one day, didn't use him, then sent him down for (Baker?).

Who pitched in one game and then went down for Baumann.

Irvin should never have gone down.

ALW has been a train wreck lately.

If he's got nothing left in the tank, is it his fault or the team that keeps running him out there?

Texas would take over first.

Toronto would become the #2 wildcard.

Houston would fall from #2 seed to #6 in the playoffs.

Wow. Kjerstad got lucky there with a catcher's interference call. He was fooled on that.

[Gurgi]

Kjerstad starts us off!!!

That is total BS.  What pitcher should they have put on the 40 man that they haven’t to help this staff?  Their offense isn’t the problem.  Please don’t tell me Jackson Holliday should be up because there isn’t a need for him right now.
