Guess Ricky should have kept his man crush going with Cordero earlier in the game.

Should have been much more aggressive on the basepaths earlier in the game. Having guys on first and depending on multiple hits to score them was a mistake. Thinking 3 or 4 runs was going to win this game is pretty dumb thinking.

Don't think we will be seeing Crochet next season. Completely agree on Bauer, but that is unlikely.

I am not sure how anyone could argue that a starting pitcher wouldn't make a difference?

If that happens then I give Hahn a pass. Since that isn't what happens I won't give him a pass. Almost everybody on here talked about who in the hell would pitch game 3 if it got to that. How can we all know it but our GM has no idea?

I pretty much agree with you. What is he supposed to do with what Hahn gave him?

Agree completely, why don't we load up our Charlotte team and go for the AAA championship?

Will see how serious they are about winning in the offseason. Need to go out and get at least 1 bonafide MLB pitcher or preferably two. Hoping some guy with the physical skills will figure it out will get you what we are watching right now, if that.

Exactly, to assume that you will be back in the playoffs next season is stupid. When you have a chance you go for it.

So that's a strike to Madrigal? Bring on the robot umps

I am not sure why he would be telling him this in the middle of the game. WTH is he going to do/say right now?

yes, just handed them a lead and made our pitcher throw a ton more pitches.

With a tip of the cap to the umps

Marshall at best is going to get thru this inning.

How the hell is that not a swing?

Something has to be done about these umps...I have never been in favor of the robot umps but just tired of it.

I don't think you can save guys for that. I don't think you would have any choice but have Giolito pitch.

Mazara would have scored if that dropped.

A's have to be some of the luckiest motherfuckers I have ever seen.

Funny how when you steal a base you don't need multiple hits to get him in.

So you don't have TA or Madrigal try to steal but you do with the guy who has leg issues?

Not the right move. You don't bring a young pitcher into a high pressure situation with no room for error.

Yes, pretty scary when you are afraid to pitch to Chad Pinder.

Not happening, we are going to make Montas with his 5.60 ERA look like a Cy young winner.

Seems our pitchers are constantly behind the count so to intentionally load the bases is the thought process of an idiot.
