Wow ... cool they tied it, but I'm still wondering why you pinch hit for the guy that just won a game for you the day before... I don't think this skipper has a clue honestly... It's called MOMENTUM ...

Mike Zunino? Are you fucking kidding me? That's it, this calls for a celebration. I was saving my snapping turtle and alligator jerky for the Labor Day crawfish boil, but I think I'll just tear into it tonight.

He has a book and doesn't go away from it, doesnt matter who's hot, must go lefty righty. Frustrating....

Smith has caught the Rodney Disease.

Smith must be taking tips from Rodney.
Smith's second consecutive shitty outting. Our right handed relief was already bad enough. If smith starts shitting the bed, the only reliable right hander left in the pen will be Mark Lowe. Only bullpen in the majors carrrying three lefties. Why? Because our right handers suck.

The last outing I don't blame on Smith. I believe that was his 3rd consecutive day he pitched and 4th in 5 days which is asking a lot.

That answers my question... Yes STUPID STUPID decision ... M's need a good manager for real... It's decisions like these that sum up whey the M's can never get winning streaks going... Lloyd has no idea what the word momentum stands for...

That's the problem with platooning. Once the sub is made its stuck that way the rest of the game.

We thought it was a great idea to fill the outfield with them

Did Smith tip his pitches, too?

And in this situation it was made even worse because LH vs LH is lower percentage than RH vs RH and it was proven correct again last night. There is no real advantage to a RH pitcher with a RH batter. LLOYD!!!!!!

Jackson doesn't really do anything well. Fairly basic fly balls to center allows a guy from first to tag. Feels like I have seen that happen a bunch
