we simply dont have the personnel in the pen to win this game..

Doesn’t it make more sense to hit Mullins for Slater there? You get the better defender in and you don’t waste Adley.

Hyde start 3 guys at the bottom of the order that are auto outs, only Slater worked out for him.

A bunch of hits, just no big ones. And 1 walk came from Eloy. Just a very aggressive approach today that didn’t work out.

I want somebody that isn’t Perez after last nights debacle. 

So you punish a guy every time they have a bad game? I don't think the players would appreciate that

We don’t have the personnel managing to win this game.

Why is the Medstar doctor watchin a guy throw? I mean, really? And the fact that he followed the pitch from the pitcher to the catcher from the side is just funny. Like what is that going to tell him medically?

Shows that the people who makes commercials don't understand anything about doctors or baseball.

You know I used to get attacked for saying that Hyde wasn’t really a good manager. And that he really had a Kush job being able to lose as much as he could and that was fine. Now you’re starting to see that he is not really a good manager, but I’ve been saying this for a while. He’s being exposed by the lack of talent he has in the pitching department. He’s not terrible most of the times, but he’s making a hell of a lot of bad decisions.

Oh God here we go

Kept Adley in. Mullins will be in McCann spot now.

Ok I guess that’s not bad. But I still probably trust Ced more right now.

I don’t like the Kimbrel v Lowe matchup. That guy seems like he murders fastballs. 

[Spakman]

I feel good about Kimbrell today. Just don’t walk the lead off batter and we’re good.

Personally I leave Suarez in to finish the inning. Or go to a better arm in a close game. Perez is about middle of the pack in terms of reliability and effectiveness. I get Hyde doesn’t have a lot of choices, but Perez isn’t top of the list.
