I'm good with Kelly. To put JHern and Yerry isn't going to work. And don't get me started on that idiotic trade. So I agree 100% with you.
He should have been a waiver wire pickup at best. But to trade a 23 year old pitcher with good minor league stats is a real head scratcher.
Maybe the manager shouldn’t intentionally walk a guy hitting.216. Who would you rather face Cave or Blackmon. And put Wendzel who is hitting.071 over Smith who is hitting 299. Smith has been really good against lefties. Bochy blew this game.
Every game we lose is Bochy’s fault. Keep it 2-1 and I believe we have a different outcome. I hate we have Grossman. It will screw up so many things. I have a harder time with CY and why he thinks so little of building a solid BP. That trade was the straw that broke the camels back to just prove that. Instead Bochy keeps getting stuck with areas where he has to throw the dice and hope some miraculous event occurs and these has-been pitchers actually do something. But we still had a chance to win if Leody makes the play.
It’s a head scratcher. They can do better than Grossman.
That is the bottom line. Play the game you are in.
I wasn't able to see the game but just followed it. But there has been more complaints about the umpiring this year than any other season I can remember.
That's pretty interesting to me b/c I get so few chances to watch, yet yesterday was one of them. I was astounded how many pitches he missed damn near every inning, and much was said by players/coaches from both teams. But at least he didn't go all Hernandez on them and start throwing people out of the game b/c his fucking 'authority' was offended. Also thought both dough outs did a decent job of not escalating this.
Yeah, that is what a guy on Twitter told me. I am not buying it. They just couldn't pitch every game this series. We just had an off day. Pitching them yesterday would have probably meant resting them tonight.
No Carter?
Oh, Bochy definitely makes mistakes, bullpen management in the regular season being the biggest example.
He tried to play the next day game instead of the one he was in.
