Its my fault ive had Buxton starting on my Fantasy team, the last 3 weeks

I also have Buxton on my team. Today is the first time I've benched him. 

These umps arent helping themselves as far as the auto strike zone

Humans suck at calling balls and strikes.

Trevor Larnach agrees.

Man, these were two awful strike calls by the ump.

80 pitches, does Smeltzer come back for the 8th?

Nope!

It's not working.  Best cut him.

It's for the best.

to be fair, he had one of the worst swings of the game on that pitch in the dirt

Yeah, weekly leagues are fine but I much prefer dailies. And I accidentally sat Buxton, to be fair. I had just assumed he wouldn't play 4 days straight.

Doesn't give the ump an excuse to call these strikes. And who knows if Larnach would have swung at that if the same pitch hadn't been called a strike a pitch earlier. 

Duffey coughs up the lead. I'm shocked.

 

Good call Baldelli. Smeltzer's arm would have fallen off if he threw more than 80 pitches. 

Who really trusts Duffey anymore?

Can SOMEONE not named Jhoan Duran or Joe Smith contribute in some meaningful way to this bullpen?

How does Smelzer feel now? I'll bet he could use some of that plop plop fizz fizz

Unreal. Tough luck smeltzer, but you would have spontaneously  combusted had you started the 8th #2022MLB

Smeltzer should punch Rocco.

Two straight leads blown. Not a good trend. 

Duffey at 24 pitches already in one inning, 

Methinks it's Duran time...

Oh FFS.

 

I have zero problem taking out Smeltzer.

 

I hate we have nothing better than Duffey.

 

I REALLY hate sending him out with nobody else warming. That's on Baldelli.

FFS

Also, Richard Bremer is 3/3 on speaking bad things in to existence this week. “A double here would tie the game”

 

Keep those things to yourself, Richard 

Apologists will say that the offense should have scored more runs. I say, If you give the pen a 3 run lead in the 8th, it doesn't matter what the score is. 

Just leave him in there Baldelli. See how many runs he can give up.

This team's bullpen cannot survive.

Duff blows an outstanding game for Smeltz. Wrong guy was sent to the Saints. Of course, I wouldn't be trusting Cano right now, either. Do we always need to bring in Smith to shut down a team?

Let's let Duff get out of his own trouble.....damn!

Duffey getting booed

There is no one I hate more in baseball than Baldelli.

This.

JFC. Devin Smeltzer pitches great, and Tyler Duffey comes in and does the same exact **** every single time he is given high leverage innings.

Your second comment is why people have a problem taking out a guy that’s cruising. We have two reliable high leverage guys in the bullpen. That’s it. And one of them pitched (albeit barely) yesterday.
