At this point I’m not sure he’s gonna get to a third…

Right now I don’t know if he gets thru the 5th inning

He didn’t.

Bochy is a fucking idiot

Who would you bring in

 

[DT LUNA]

Who would you bring in

It isn't who. Waited to long.

 

[Duane1952]

Who would you bring in

Stratton or Bradford. As usual he waited to long.

 

[Duane1952]

I sure don’t want to see Bochy back. But don’t think it will happen, with him and CY be buddies.

 

[Bmurph]

It really didn’t matter who, the fact was that it was clear Montgomery couldn’t get an out. What difference did it make if you went to the bullpen while you had a lead or waited til you were down 2? Montgomery clearly shouldn’t have started the fifth, so go get anyone to get one out. Poor job of managing a pitching staff strikes again

Agree. Stratton makes sense

He makes it harder for the team to win by making dumb mistakes as you point out.

A useless at bat by Duran

Hard to see him on the team next season

Add Leody to that list.

Agree

You are indeed considered expendable when you hit a HR in your first at bat and then are pinch hit for the next time around. Lol

Wonder if @WilltheThrill will have a comment on that?

 

[scotsman1948]

6 pitches. The offense has called it a game

That was surprising. He earned another AN despite matchup

 

[Kelleyman]

Tough situation. Obviously needed to pull Monty but when we give it to the pen early. That is a a crapshoot

Like Perez—he is not great but never a disaster
Hopefully LeClerc can get through this. Nice 3-2 strikeout. Almost homered on


We need a walkoff in the worst way
