Isn't Rosario the emergency guy?

Dobnak and it's not even close especially given the experience we had with Odo who had pitched in the Bronx before.

Leave the bases loaded? I've got that spot covered on my bingo card.

The guy had beyond a career year so early in that career and there's bound to be regression. He also was nowhere close to a lot of pitches this year. We all kinda thought that there would be a little bit of comedown from last year's Bomba bonanza but it's happened to more than one in the lineup.

One of many boneheaded decisions that Rocco made in this game. In a tight game, you want your best catcher back there and that's Jeffers. It's not like Garver showed anything in his week back from the IL that lent any sort of encouragement that he'd be a grand contributor.

Totally embarrassed to be a fan of these chokers right now. Everyone in the lineup and on that coaching staff is a choker. Can't get a big hit, can't make a simple play, can't make the right freakin decision with your pitching lineup, can't have any plate discipline after 2 straight walks. This is the reason why the franchise has lost 17 in a row. It's not the opponent and it's not the umpires. It's the people wearing the TC's on their hats.

Hence the quotes around closer.

And now the 'closer' in a non-save situation. This game will be 2-1 shortly.

Takes May out, leaves Duffey in. :eyeroll:

THAT'S BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE A BULLPEN!!! Hasn't learned yet.

GFY, DJ Reyburn....frickin ridiculous this strike zone.

Giolito perfect thru 6 in Oakland. CircusBoy would be proud.

No way. 1-run game, I'd rather have Jeffers back there behind the plate.

Who's guessed more in this game, Altuve or DJ Reyburn. New inning, new zone.

Torii Hunter's HR in the 12th of Game 2 that year should have been the game-winner until Gardy left Nathan out there for another inning.

Damn chokers. CAN ANYONE ON THIS TEAM GET A BIG HIT????

And then fooled on the off-speed right down the heart. Sigh.

A little plate discipline from Bux would be nice.

Framber...that's a unique name.

*cringes*

Whew. Well, we're even on the bases loaded situations.

OK boys, way to dent the scoreboard. Now let's get a zero in this half.

WAY TO RUN, KEP!!! Big oppo hit, Boomstick!!

I have a decent TV at my desk which comes in handy when most of the big events happen and I'm stuck at work for them.

A lot of it is using your ears as well as your eyes. With no fans in the stands, it's a lot easier to hear the ball in the glove vs the foot on the bag.
