We already had a closer. We had bigger needs in the outfield. We gave up too much for a luxury Nice to have but not a must.

What about a bullpen game?

Regardless, let’s try a hit and run,and not keep hitting into double plays. Outcome can’t be worse than what we are getting now.

What about a hit and run with Abreu at the plate against the splitter. That should have been a no brainer. The station to station inaction cost us another double play.

Maybe he should refund part of his bloated salary. Time to apply pay for performance in baseball.

He needs to change for the better. .464 opponent batting average in his last 9 innings is not going to cut it. Maybe he should shave that frigging ZZ Top beard for starters. Get all those bugs out of there.

I hope we can get some first downs and not just one big punt.

It was a good game except for theBurr detour that we managed to overcome.

Sounds like a Southern teenager nickname.

He also failed to move Leury to third who would have scored on Hernández infield hit.

I think it may have been a hit and run and AV missed the sign.

Vaughn needs to grab some bench next game to clear his head.

I think Stoney is on Rosh Hashana Jewish holiday?

The dreaded 8 th almost bit us again, glad we got 2 runs in the top of the 8 th to give us some breathing room. Bringing Burrin was an unnecessary cardiac event.

TLR is a bad bullpen manager particularly in the 8 th. He tries to over manage. He lacks the killer instinct with bullpen. Don’t screw around with unreliable relievers.

TLR lacks the killer instinct particularly in the 8 th. Let’s lock this inning with Kimbrel.

Burr in the dreaded 8 th. Let’s not make it another cardiac event.

Good hitting byGoodwin against the lefty. Making AV look even worse.

Dallas Keuchel to pitch batting practice?

Will have to hit him 9 th when he plays.

Hope it does not comeback to haunt us in the dreaded 8 th coming up.

Leury is 10 for his last 20.not too shabby. Hitting next to Vaughn making him look even better. He is also a high energy guy. I like Leury nowadays.

AV has left 7 on base so far tonight. It’s getting ridiculous. I think he is hitting like.100 with RISP. Engel would look mighty good in his place nowadays.

Is the knee where the ball hit him in the dugout or was it due to his slide at the plate? Super Joe should not had sent him with no outs and also risk a collision at the plate.

Problem is that he hit one of our stars, and not one of the scrubs instead.
