He was clearly fooled.

Thank you!

There were some wicked pitches in that inning.

That's crazy. I'd be upset.

Let's get some runs early.

I'm an old man with a bad heart, let's not have to many more of those.

At my pharmacy today and they are practically begging people to get vaccinated. No waiting. No cost!

My only negative is he didn’t realize Gio was gassed the other night or realized it and didn’t say anything to Tony. He’s got basically one player to watch at that point.

I think there is some blame all the way around. There is a player and a pitching coach that are keeping information away from the manager who then shoulders all the blame? We can spin it a dozen different ways but clearly doing what is best for the team isn't in their thinking. I can't see how that wins a championship. Now the manager has to be a walking lie detector. Obviously this team isn't pulling together and that truly does start at the top. Tony is doing something wrong but making a bad decision because critical information was being withheld might not be one of them.

And should that be encouraged? Who was Gio helping by hiding he was gassed? His teammates? The coaching staff? Himself?

That means a player should hide being gassed. How does that help the team? I can maybe understand someone clinging to a roster spot, but your ace should have the respect of the coaches to be honest. Instead we have a player hiding being gassed. That's a horrible team culture and that lands directly on the manager if players are lying and not being forthright and honest.

I've never been in a MLB dugout during the game and never heard a in game conversation between an ace and hall of fame manager so maybe I'm missing something. But it seems like someone, pitching coach or manager walks over to the pitcher after 90 +pitches and asks what ya got left? And your trying to keep a roster spot guy might lie and say give me the ball but Gio should be able to say I'm gassed. Sending him out wasn't a bad decision, I'm more concerned that there was a startling horrible lack of communication between Gio and the coaching staff.

Does the pitcher have any responsibility to inform the manager he's gassed? I'm trying to wrap my head around that conversation not happening.

I taught at Taft HS San Antonio (all of our schools are named for Supreme Court justices). We went on a bit of a lock down over a social media post threat of violence. I was the only teacher to say are we certain it's not Taft Chicago? Which it was. Nothing happened.

How long has it been since we questioned how our previous manager used pitchers? I think Bevington was the last one. The rest of the guys didn't make mistakes like this. I'm trying to remember Renteria or Robin leaving a guy in too long.

At my high school's game. About 100 fans. Cool weather. Watching a couple of my students. Trying not to dog the ump for a really tight strike zone. What a great way to spend a few hours after work.
