Almost like Ricky had something to do after the game. Why Cordero over Colome? 

That Grandal, he sure can frame!

Just awful

Grandal is pathetic. Period. Play a real catcher from now on.

Yikes this was bad. At least KC beat Cleveland and Minnesota split their DH I guess.

Grandal defense was as bad as I have seen. McCann as catcher and saved money on Grandal.

Cause he wanted to save him for a save situation. A lot of managers don't do this anymore, but you know Ricky...

Completely unraveled as the game went along.  Whole team top to bottom deserves an ass chewing, including the manager. 

The Grandal that gets benched because he can’t catch the ball for the Dodgers on full display. What a terrible effort by him tonight.

How is Cordero still on the team after tonight

Brutal way to lose. Cordero should not be pitching in that high leverage of a situation. 

Did Grandal just purposely lose the game tonight? What the fuck is wrong with him 

well that was a turd at the end..

Wow Grandal is amazing are they paying him?

Talk about pathetic body language as well

Grandal has these lazy effort moments that are maddening. I did not see that in his scouting report when we signed him.

Not the first time he loses focus and quits on the play.

Unacceptable.

Edit: Read fathom's post and forgot about the crap with the Dodgers... especially catching the ball in that playoff series. Ugh.

I don't mind the loss. Losses happen - especially in baseball. But seriously - why does Cordero pitch so much, let alone in this high leverage of a situation. Please Rodon  and Lopez - please come back and kick butt out of the pen. This team could seriously use that type of awesomeness.  

Cordero has some wild stats with inherited runners.

I mean he didn't do much wrong outside of missing his spot on the wild pitch. It's not like he got hit around.

RR inept 

How in the fuck can you watch madrigal on the bases and grandal trying to catch a ball all night long and pin this on the manager...

Yep. Still hate Grandal. Give me McCann any day.

Look like he beat the throw anyway. The throw was shitty and slow. Don't fall for Stones narrative.

Not a good catching performance by Grandahl tonight either. No ok excuse. 

let’s get them tomorrow

Technically he also hit a HR - so without that different story too.  Sometimes it is not your not. Chalk it up and move on.  Win the next one.

6.23 era is pretty good

The overreactions after losses are the best.
