This. I understand sacrificing a guy to protect the pen for another day, but it's too late in the season for that, especially in games against the teams above them. These have to be treated like playoff games--if they hope to actually see real playoff games.
Was the 2nd Schreiber inning against Seattle for me.
Maybe Cora was hoping for another 17 run outburst. There may be but not for us.
That they didn't pick up a starter at the trade deadline. Bloom said they were underdogs than Cora wore that cartoon Underdog shirt for the whole world to see
I'm not sure why Schreiber and Wink would not be available to pitch to Altuve.
oh I agree 100%. I've been leaning towards wanting him fired for a while now but this is the last straw.
If this team doesn't have a hot end of August what happens in September won't matter too much.
Barraclough might have a union complaint after this. I'm only half joking. Okay, mostly joking.
Being down by 5 is the actual scenario you'd want AAA cannon fodder to pitch in so why bother changing it out now?
And I am a big Underdog fan who watched the TV show as a kid with Wally Cox as the voice and read the comics. As soon as I saw that Underdog shirt he was wearing I knew that was a passive dig at Bloom.
