Nicely done.

Have to think Duran is good for 2 innings today, and possibly Jax.

Where have you been? 

Oh, and tomorrow’s game starts at 8:10 Eastern, 7:10 Central. Be here. 

How have we played so many more games than the other central teams?

57 pitches after 5,  Whats goin on Bundy,  nice to see

Bundy at 58 pitches through 5. Barring a meltdown which is always possible, he could get us to the 8th.

Kirilloff classic poor at bat. Watches two lower zone middle cut strikes called, and finally swings at the third pitch ball, still center cut, but way low. Ouch.

Pinch runner in the 6th with two outs seems odd and no steal attempt????

What is the point of pinch running Gordon if you just have him stand there?

Although, even though he is supposed to be fast, he is only successful 50% of the time this year, and leads the worst stealing team in MLB with 6 attempts only.

Maybe says some batters are not good base runners?

Why rocco. Why.

Classic overmanaging

On the other hand, he didn't get out. And as things went, i don't think he woulda scored from second. 

 

Unless he also stole third, too, and then tried to steal home.

 

And i am still waiting for the answer to my intro query!!

 

58 pitches and wasting the pen in the 6th. I don't get it.

Rocco refuses to deviate from a pre-game pitching plan,  wasent letting Bundy go 3rd time thru the line-up ??  all i can think of??    Hop[e it works

Even if it does work, it’s foolish. How many arms will we use tonight? And anyone who goes 2 innings will be unavailable tomorrow. Bundy was doing fine and had 58 pitches.

I think it was more about the defensive replacement, but if you’re going to do it, you might as well improve the base running as well, even if you don’t plan to steal. 

Now if they only let Jax pitch 3 innings and it over to Duran

the scoop

Is Bundy hurt? I get not trusting him, but if he's fine then that makes zero sense to me. 

That top half of the inning was a bit brief, eh

What is his thinking,  ???   i agree he is wasting arms at times

Rocco does like to use his new toys,  Trevor Mcgill,  ??

I have zero issue pulling the plug on Bundy before things got out of hand.
