What an asshole. Jose deserved that

Fuck that umpire. But thank god it’s more of a bruise situation at worst. Immediately thought he tore something

Oh my god no.

Idiotic. This is what happens when you have a manger from the 90’s that has pickled his brain in alcohol

BDN

Full on platoon with Yermin shouldn’t be far away…

Dare I say that Lamb should be playing more? Especially for a guy that most want off the team…

Well…this isn’t going well

The dream is Peralta from the crappy Dbacks…highly doubt it would happen and don’t even know what we’d offer, but 1 can hope

With only a 1.5 game division lead, can this offense really sustain another 2+ months without Eloy and Robert? Even if it’s trying Rutherford and/ or Sheets…something has to give sooner or later

Is there any difference between Yaz and Collins behind the plate?

Yaz has the same bat speed as my grandmother…0 chance against any decent pitcher. Starting to get real ugly with him, especially with his defense not being anything special either

Crazy Yoan was able to pull that. Pitcher makes a perfect pitch and just better hitting

Don’t know if it’s been said yet- but this is absolutely horrific way to attract free agents if LaRussa continues to be the manager going forward. Who would want to play for this clown? Not only is he a dinosaur, but he throws his players under the bus as well

I don’t see how “not enough evidence” is possible on that kind of play. Freeze frame- either the foot beats the ball in the glove or not. Looked pretty clear without slow motion or freeze frame

Don’t agree with the notion that you don’t “waste” a challenge in the 1st. 1-he was out 2-giving away outs in any inning can change the game.

Why would you not challenge that?

Rutherford and/or Sheets have to be better options. This is getting ridiculous. What a help to a bad pitcher

It’s called a secondary lead. There’s no reason for any runner to be within 6 feet of 1st base as the pitch is released. This is little league 101 stuff.

Yoan was on his secondary lead there…literary nothing he could have done. Stone just reaching to burry Yoan

Holy fucking shit Nicky

The batter should be out for doing that to counteract the catcher interference rule.

He’s had like 3/4 bad plays with fly balls…has there been any other instance to really criticize Yoan on? He’s been pretty stellar on D otherwise and the bat has been good, even if there is still hope for improvement. I also think a lot of people like Stone don’t like to admit that a superior athlete like Yoan doesn’t have to all out hustle at all times like the less talented “scrappy” guys…the results are what should matter, not what an old curmudgeon (and I like Stone) perceives.

That’s 100% on Jason and Stone

McEwing doesn’t have a red light...usually don’t have a problem, but definitely questionable in this situation with the top of the order up and Maeda being straight garbage
