Look at Ray Ray Run

This is just wrong given that I asked why he was coming out for the 7th at all. The guy was gassed the previous inning. That was pretty obvious. I rarely ever complain about pulling a starter "too early" and my rule for starters (especially early in the season) is if one hitter can put your pitch count north of a comfortable level then they absolutely should not start the inning. And you're completely ignoring the fact that the pitcher HIMSELF said he was gassed after the 6th. That's something a manager should know.

Listen buddy, I don't think that crosses the line, guy. I hope you can move past that verbiage champ, but if not I wish you nothing but the best pal.

Let me ask you this as a follow up: How many managers do you think exist in the modern game that do not ask their pitcher how they're feeling before sending them back out to start an inning at 95 pitches?

His starting pitcher last night basically said the guy put me back out there when I had nothing left in the tank, and then let me ride on E until I ran out of gas and nearly combusted. Tony, even after the game sitting at the podium did not know that Giolito was out of gas. James fegan said, I spoke with Giolito after the game and he said he was gassed. Tony responded, after saying he felt good about giolito over and over again, by saying "he said that?" Even after the game was over, Tony had no idea what his players were thinking of feeling. Does that sound like a guy who is 3 or 4 steps ahead of anyone that isn't in a wheelchair?

I'm around 10000% sure Tim anderson has a green light and is not instructed to steal

Why does the pen need to be saved? You don't mind not talking to your player and asking him how he feels before sending him out for another inning at 95 pitches? The bullpen will be used much more if giolito gets hurt. The time to see if he can "battle" through fatigue is absolutely not an April game vs the worst team in baseball.

Guy, his own player said he was gassed lol. What more do you want to hear? His OWN player second guessed him.

Guys, we're down three. If we can just string together 5 more singles here, we'll tie the game. Let's do this!

Looking for a single down three in the eighth with the tying run up is the funniest serious answer I've seen from a manager in a long time

To further this, Tony literally responded by saying "he said that?" In a frustrated way

How do you not check with your starter before sending him back out there when he has thrown 95 pitches. Amazing

Tony looked pissed that giolito said that. That's shocking.

Wow, giolito threw him under the bus

It became even worse when I remembered that. So inexcusable. It's honestly like he fell asleep.

I forgot Gonzalez is on the team too so you could have actually hit vuaghn and Collins there. Amazing

Larussa is an entire other level of bad

Not pinch hitting for leury, which is what I thought he'd do instead, is hilarious

doesn't have much choice. No other cfer now.

Yeah, he drew two walks in the same game and didn't know what to do wirh himself.

Might want to get those eyes checked

Think that was tim trying to get something going. Tim is so fast but just doesn't get great jumps on the bases.

He had 95 itches to start the inning lol What is reasonable about that If one ab can push you towards danger territory you shouldn't start an inning

They're still gonna win this game.

Offense is the worst it's ever been in the history of the game and in your mind people who manage pitchers and pitchers themselves don't know what they're doing and are sad.
