Because he put Beni in for Doyle and Beni ain't playing CF. Another bad move by Venable.

A lot of bad luck this inning, but I was scared as hell that Elly was gonna tie it cause he absolutely crushes lefties. It didn't make a ton of sense to use Hudson against the 3 guys he faced.

Well, Mateo is at least better than Acuna. With Doyle on the team, you don't need Acuna to play CF anymore.

I'd much rather use Richards in the 8th against 678 in the order than in the 9th against 912.

There were better spots to use Richards for an inning. Ideally you want Brozaban, Hudson, or Hicks to cover the 9th if Grant isn't available.

Yeah nobody really hates Richards, Will is just an idiot for using him in that situation.

Don't ever do it again.

Why would you use Richards to close against the top of the order after what he did in Boston? Just fucking braindead decisions.

Richards to close? WTF Will?

Crazy effort from Vargas

Hudson only throwing 89

So what's the plan for the bullpen? I was thinking they might use McDougal after Hagen, but it seems like they're using the high leverage arms in these middle innings. With an off day tomorrow, I'm guessing the entire bullpen is available?

If it's more than 45 minutes, they go to the bullpen.

If the delay is long enough this turns into a bullpen game. Maybe we'll see Hagen and McDougal.

Why'd they start the game if they had to go into a delay in the 2nd? Any idea on how long the rain will last?

Looked like a wrist issue.

He just hasn't had command of his pitches. His stuff is not good enough to get away with it. He was a totally different pitcher the first 2 months when he could actually locate.

I thought he hit that one out that was foul. But then I remembered it's Romo and how he has no pop.

That ball hits Chase no matter where he's running. Total bailout.

Phew

Offense finally has a big inning only for the bullpen to fail.

Hicks hasn't looked the same since he opened against Tampa.

I feel bad that he has Romo right behind him. No pitcher should give him anything to hit.

Colson is so unsure up there. You can't try to swing at that half assed like that. What's the point?

The entire lineup sucks right now.
