An other good thing about the laugher is that it was TLR proof. Too big a hurdle to f*uck it up.

Fortunately Leury didn’t start the game with hi s .210 OBP and rally killer capabilities.

Lowdown is Leury hitting 6 th. With a .213 OBP. He is almost in the automatic out zone.

Reynaldo Lopez is the Leury of the bullpen. He pitches in every situation. Starter, long relief, middle relief, late relief, closer. You name it. He is more productive however than Leury.

Leury has an OBP of .213 and is hitting 6 th. It’s a bad joke. If he is playing should not hit higher than 8th.

Tigers are bad. This proves that we can manhandle the crappy teams, not so much so the top teams.

Leury should not be hitting 6 th in the first place no matter if he is hitting lefty. Would have liked to see Mendick hitting 6 th, he has been hot lately.

Mendick for Leury. Mendick has been hitting the ball very well lately. Leury generally sucks and is not making contact with poor 0late discipline.

You were right Leury coming up with the bases loaded in the 1st after 2 walks, and came in hacking and swung at a ball over his head striking out. Typical TLR matchup obsession regardless of how bad our lefty hitting has been.

Moncada and Garcia hitting 5 th and 6 th is not a good idea. This is just because TLR is obsessed with matchups regardless how bad the lefties have been hitting. TLR does not adjust. TLR is always putting us behind the 8 ball, not utilizing our resources efficiently.

Hendriks being out, hurt our chances on the two extra innings losses to the Rangers. Understand Hendriks got hurt when he pitched in the 9 th of the first Rangers game with. 5 run lead. Another questionable TLR decision.

Why can’t our HOF manager and star hitting coach Menechino straighten Robert out. No adjustments and is the same crap over and over.

Robert should have not been running. He was already in scoring position with the tying run coming to the plate. One of the most stupid running plays of the season.

The Robert at bat with man at 3 rd late with less than two outs and the Abreu double play ball we’re killers.

Abreu a major disappointment with yet another double play ball in a game winning situation. Robert in the most stupid running play of the year. Couldn’t super Joe screamed at him to not run. TLR with another mismanaged game. What else is new with our Keystone Cops team. Now that Tony crazy moves have gone viral nationally, there will be more pressure to change, hopefully. This is unacceptable. TLR never adjusts. It’s the same old crap over and over.

The Robert at bat was pathetic.

Ruiz giving up a 3 run homer in the 11th is exactly why we had to win it in the 10th as we were running of quality pitchers. Texas manager outmanaged our HOF manager by walking Abreu and Burger and we are stuck with Harrison hitting in a game winning situation. Len mentioned that Abreu led the majors in double plays hit last season, with 13 more than the second closest. A lot of that was due to never running or hit and run with Abreu at the plate.

He got called out by Len for aSwinging for the fences when he needed to just make contact.

Engel should not have been pinched hit for in the 8 th. Our RF defense got worse with Leury and Harrison came to bat in the9 th in a game situation. That is your HOF manager at work.

Ricky was awake during games.

If Zevy was running out of the box he was safe. This team lacks hustle and accountability. These guys not hustling don’t get chewed out or pulled out of games.

That is one of TLR inflexible rules. Matchups trump everything for TLR. No matter how bad is the hitter.

Leury should not have been playing RF in a tied game in the 9th. Pinch hitting Moncada for Engel in the 8 th and taking Engel defense out in the 9th did not make any sense.

Stoney called him out for taking balls to the side instead of getting behind the balls.

If they pinched hit Moncada might as well had him play third in the 9 th for defense. Burger on a tied game at third is not a good bet.
