Problem do bring Sborz out for a 3rd inning and if not who?

 

[WilltheThrill]

Ok, if we even care about winning this game, it needs to be done right here. Expecting another shutdown inning from our bullpen is just too much.

Probably Perez.

 

[scotsman1948]

We got the ghost to 3rd

Nope Burke is warming up.

 

[scotsman1948]

Probably Perez.

Burke?

 

[Duane1952]

Burke?

I saw him warming up after I posted that.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Fly ball, fly ball, strikeout. I mean, I guess it sort of got the job done. But whatever you do, don’t get more than the minimum, guys.

Only 20 pitches. I might of sent him out again.

I was earlier in the season… not so much from a strategic perspective, but rather he seemed to have the team playing as one and finding ways to win.

But over the last month or so, he has made numerous ridiculous gaffes that honestly have me questioning his acuity. It’s very basic stuff he’s botching.

I have noticed the same think wondering how he won 3 World Series.

Why not walk Polanco and set up a force at every base.

 

[fanman8825]

You had to know we were not going to hold the lead

 

[Bmurph]

Well, this team wasn’t supposed to compete for a WS this year, so I guess I should be happy they had some success. Just need to take my BP meds and hope for better next year

 

[Bmurph]

Nice turn in the middle boys….

 

[Duane1952]

Good thing Duran got that runner at third.

 

[Senator_fan]

I can’t remember when Burke has had a 1-2-3 inning. Seems like he always gives up at least 1 hit.

 

[WilltheThrill]

We’re just giving them too many runs and not making them earn them. Our bullpen is bad enough as it is. But now we’re walking, wild pitching, and breaking pickoff rules to just give them runners in scoring position.

True. But I do prefer him and Stratton to others because they typically give up a couple of base runners and maybe 1 run but limit the damage otherwise. Whereas some of our other guys can’t even get a single guy out sometimes and completely implode.

DT did you see what Gallo did?
Oh my heavens

Had to leave for a minute
