Series Thread: AL West will be decided this weekend

[bksballer89]

I just saw the highlights (lowlights for you guys) but the guy who fucked up that Pujols pop up really fucked you guys up. Would have been up 2 with 2 outs and nobody on. Instead the tying run came to the plate with only 1 out and a runner at 2nd

We better pray the Astros lose or we're done.

 

[romeo212000]

We will fucking lose the division game to Houston too. Remember how Joe fucking Saunders beat us a few years ago at home? Ya we won't be seeing anything past the division game extra game.

I won't watch the wild card game. No point.

I am so tired of having managers who make moves that an above average fan knows you should not do. How are they not able to figure it out. Did he do what RW would do and say if the guy tells me he can go then I am putting him in there? Anyone not named Tolleson was the person who should have gone into the game. And learn when to rest your pitchers so that this type of stuff does not happen. If you see this coming you should have let kela go another inning and let Dyson pitch the 9th. And those two are our best pitchers out of the BP.

Tolleson has been letting people on base for a long time now. He does not have "blow them away" stuff. He's been on thin ice since forever, and its finally bit them in the ass.

They would have NEVER scored 4 off Dyson. NEVER. 6 out save. Astros win and now Hamels will have to be used. Terrible managing. No baseball sense. Banister = Wash II.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Dyson is the fucking man. I love that fucking guy. He would be my closer next year.

 

[romeo212000]

Banister, you are complete trash. Go fuck yourself with a red hot fire poker.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

I hate managers that go by track records regardless of the situation.

No using a pitcher 5 days in a row bit them in the ass. Not even Rivera was ever asked to do that. I don't know how many relief pitchers have been, but you absolutely do not ask a guy to pitch 5 days in a row. Stop blaming him for being asked to pitch to lefties in a park where lefties destroy hanging change ups.

I don't really care if he has blow them away stuff. We know that doesn't matter. Tolley has been solid for us when he took over Neftali but you don't make him pitch 5 straight days. Banny I'd say lost 2 games for us last night and today.

Yep we saw Rivera be used 4 straight times but even then it Torre or Girardi would extremely hesitate in making him pitch past a 3rd straight day.

We could be in for a historically epic collapse that has never happened before ( it would only happen to your Texas Rangers). We could conceivably choke away this game ( check), get blown out tomorrow ( probably going to happen), end up in a "play in game" with the Astros that we lose, then lose 10-0 to the Yankees on Tuesday. It would be the worst collapse in history and the only comparable moments would be the 2011 WS against the cardinals or to a lesser extent, the Steve Bartman fiasco. Pray that the snakes get us out of this, because I don't see any other way. What happened today was incompetence at the highest level.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

I wonder what the hell is Cole Hamels thinking about pitching tomorrow.

 

[donaldson79]

The most colossal fuck up I've ever seen bringing in the closer with a fucking 4 run lead, to work for the 5th straight day! Just fucking idiotic!

When he totally screwed up on Tolleson was in the last win against Detroit. Banister brought in Tolleson with a 4 run lead against a team that couldn't wait to get the season over with.

It was pretty obvious on the 30th Tolleson was getting fatigued. Had he give him the day off there, we wouldn't be in this fucking mess, and now Tolley is worthless to us tomorrow.

He only did it 4 times in his career. It's a bad idea to go 4 even with the best arms. oh well I'm done whining about it because it does nothing.

This is the right take.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

I agree with you guys. Five consecutive days--don't do it. Its not Tolleson's fault. Its Banister's fault all the way. But, Tolleson's saves lately have been nerve-wracking--even with the rest. Dyson has been killing everyone.

 

[donaldson79]

I may not ever watch again if Banister is the manager.

Does this mean you won't be posting as well?

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Why?
