07/29 - vs Toronto - Game 2 of DH

[e16bball]

Absolutely inexcusable to pitch to Vlad with first base open and Super Mario hitting behind him.

Twice in two innings. Are we trying to prove we don’t back down or something? They have nothing and no one else, and we’re just letting their one guy kill us.

Was wondering the same thing watching the Yankees/Phillies when they kept pitching to Judge as he hit is 38th and 39th HRs.

That was also stupid.

This is the guy who's supposed to get the final out of the world series for us.

Is anybody going to ask Hyde why he chose to pitch to Guerrero there?

Just curious.  In the previous regime there was no way that question is asked.

Vlad is going to be Vlad, the fact that Steward Berroa and his .450 OPS have been on base three times and scored twice through poor pitching and defensive incompetence is the story of this game.

I'm not sure what the point of using Kimbrel in a game that's already lost.  Gee, then tomorrow when he's really needed we have to worry about overwork in back to back games.

I assume you mean came back and won?

We came back from 3 runs down to tie Miami just the other day on Cowser's bases claring double.

Yeah, I was thinking of coming back to take the lead.

Sega Genesis pitching now for the Jays.  Maybe we can make a game of out it.

A pitcher who will be acquired tomorrow.

Not looking at the box score, but did Vlad get like 8 hits today.  lol

I'm actually glad he won't be in there in a high leverage spot tomorrow ...

I doubt it... but let's hope.

He's got 3 RBI, he's not beating us by himself. It's the guys like Clement, Kiermaier, and all of the walks and errors.

Is there even a local press anymore? The Orioles kicked everyone out that didn't fit there narrow view of the press. Ok, maybe it was just me! LOL

Just checked, only 7.  Vladdy can't get traded too soon.  Maybe in the offseason.
