The point of the game isn't to blame the right party for losing the game. The point of the game is to win. As the manager you gotta realize your offense isn't gonna score on a given day, don't throw your 5th or 6th best option so he can give up the lead when the rest of your bullpen is pretty fresh and rested.

3-3 against the Twins, 2-5 against the Royals after the ASB.

We have an off day on Friday. It really doesn't make a ton of sense to not have Hendriks or Kimbrel pitch for nearly a whole week before one of the biggest regular season games of the year.

If only we can loan some runs from Monday night.

Matt Foster in...this won't be a one run game soon.

You can't give Ober the high strike last inning and call that too.

Cesar getting screwed over by this ump

Minaya is good now, apparently?

Minaya in for Cesar.

Matt Foster is warming...it only gets worse.

TLR just letting our lefties face their lefty. Feels like he really doesn't care if we win this or not.

Hendriks has pitched once in the past 9 days.

Ruiz's fastball is a bit slow today. He's usually 97-99. That fastball to Polanco was 95.

Welp

Ruiz is in. Hold onto your butts.

It helped that we faced a really bad Davies and Burrows.

Wow we suck on offense.

Looks like Kopech if we get a lead and Ruiz if we don't.

Ober has never gone over 93 pitches in any game this year.

He broke his bat. He couldn't get the good part of the barrel on it.

Damn that's right at the LFer.

That messed up pick off move probably just saved that inning. Crochet was much better out of the stretch. 4D chess.

I wonder if he almost did that on purpose to go back to the windup

Good god Crochet

Crochet having trouble throwing strikes in the stretch.
