You traded Madrigal to get a second strikeout high leverage pitcher. The Rays would of trotted his ass out in the 4th if it was the same situation.

We have two closers. Why with the lead on the road would you not go to either closer. This is why you hire a more modern manager who understands todays game and not the guy trying to figure out instant replay.

Danny Mendick on the roster is confusing. Playing Leury as much as he does is confusing. Pitching Crochet yesterday and then bringing him in today first while Bummer and the rest of the pen is rested is confusing. Why we hired a guy 10 years out of baseball who likes to drink and drive and is out of touch and is near 80, confusing. We are going to waste this window doing stupid things.

Try to tell TLR that you can use your closer outside of the 9th with a lead.

Since when. Most would argue that 3 hole is your best hitter.

Maybe we should get a camera on the catcher, a raspberry pi with a low voltage emitter, and some garbage cans for our players and maybe we can impress her.

He was hired to right a perceived wrong by the oyxengeran owner who doesn't care about anything but what makes him happy at the time.

So we have pitchers not backing up the base. We have OF blowing through cutoffs and we have a 2nd baseman who cant catch a throw from Eloy on a double. Yup that shitty defense surely flipped a switch and is now great.

But they are rested.

Grandal slowed down on that run to 1st. So glad the athletes are going all out in a playoff series. Christ.

He did this shit last year. This is who he is. A guy who has one talent defensively, framing. Thats it. Thats his one trick pony.

So glad we have a bunch of replacement level players at the end of our lineup. Hahn do better this off-season.

So glad our manager decided that home field didn't mean a whole lot.

On my crazy things of 2021 I didn't have Reylo pitching in game one of the ALDS.

Second year of feasting on bad teams and struggling against good. Expecting that to magically flip because it's the playoffs is a fools errand.

I was able to get 2 seats for both ALDS game 2 and ALCS game 1 for me and my son. The last playoff game I was at was Game 2 of the 2005 WS. My seats are just as bad as they were in that game. Hopefully the result is just as glorious as in 2005. My son who is 17 will get his first true taste of playoff baseball.

This OLine is historically bad. 9 sacks. And it wasn't like they were holding the ball.

I believe that was mine.

What's our record against teams above .500. I am sure that is great as well.

Not today. But he has trotted out some beauts in the last month.

Grandpa thinks that he can declare tomorrow the playoffs and magically they will just start winning like they are the 27 Yankees. He also thinks he can win games today with the C team lineup and AA pitchers throwing as well. His own ego is part of the issue.

Grandpa needs his memory pills again. He seems to be forgetting baseball strategy again.

Get ready. I am sure as we move towards the playoffs Mr Keuchel is going to try and play his, look at the back of my card bullshit. And how he was made for the playoffs. Hopefully TLR ignores that and he is cheerleading the team from the sidelines.

Well considering that Covid is so easy to get over and is less impactful than the flu to the anti-vax crowd. How about this. Let's just have them sign a waiver. If you get covid and need emergency procedures to save your life, you get a lovely flower arrangement and get sent home. Take all of the dewormer you want, take all of the other nonsense witch doctor shit that is being peddled. My wife had to wait 24 hours last week to get admitted to a hospital for something serious because of the mouth breathers and their 3rd-grade version of science. I don't need family members dying because the ER is filled with morons who go oh, yeah I can't breathe. Well, this isn't what I signed up for. I am a strong republican. The anti-vaxxers can all go fuck themselves. Maybe we can have Polio come back because the human body's defense systems are so good. We are at a point in evolution where we can do amazing things to save lives due to science. But the human condition is the one aspect that will even that out.
