Not expecting a win today, but would find it as a net positive if Cease pitches well and looks like he belongs.

Hanging slider

Like if he came out and said Heuer and Bummer were unavailable, then that would make a little more sense. Saying he had Heuer up in case of trouble is ridiculous. Was he waiting for the bases to be loaded!

Because he’s a stubborn man that wants to return baseball to how it used to be played and could theoretically be losing some of his ability to make sound decisions

I agree completely with this. Some of the best decisions don’t work out well. I think what pisses so many of us off is that he’s making terrible decisions that are having the bad results they deserve. If Hendriks comes in and gives up a homer in the 9th, we are mad at Hendriks and not Tony.

He has the rare ability to make you feel worse about the thought process instead of better understanding why he did what he did.

Also, I love playing for the 10th inning and not even making it to the inning.

Bummer

With Timmy slowing down big time and Mercedes not hitting like a future HOF, Tony’s choices will be even more in the spotlight. Really wish Hahn and company get proactive and give the lineup a boost.

10 years from now we will find out that Grandal has a family member that hacked into the WAR formula to alter his performance

Second game they blew quickly in the bottom of the 9th due to pitching Foster or Marshall instead of Hendriks.

I watch way too many baseball games every day around the league. You almost never see a manager pitch the worst reliever on their roster in the 9th inning of a tie game.

You know the answer to this

Not nearly as important with the next extra innings rule.

Sure, but it should have been Bummer or Hendriks.

One manager pitches the best reliever in baseball in a tie game. The other pitches the worst reliever on his entire roster and someone who will be DFA in the coming months.

Tony has done nothing this year to show he’s not a dumb guy now. It’s honestly baffling how many stupid decisions he makes on and off the field.

He sucks so much and it keeps getting worse.

He was saving Heuer for when Marshall got in trouble. Tony and I have a different understanding of trouble. I guess that’s why I’ve never had a DUI

Mercedes, Yoan and Rodon showed up. The rest of the team sucked

Not his fault, but he was way, way too deep on that last play

He liked a ton of tweets ripping on Tony

Tony gets the last laugh on Marshall

I’m not joking

Tony probably thought he had to face 3 guys that inning.
