It seems like Ricky putting any trust in Rodon has been disastrous this year.

He was hoping to get the lefty out and be out of the inning. But Hot Carl walked him, and that led to trouble

I thought the idea of putting Rodon in that pressure situation in his first appearance back was to see how he would handle it and he didn't then so?

That IBB was idiotic. Honestly, he should have been fired on the spot. It was Chad fucking Pinder! Skip him and load them for Canha, just to get rid of a fucking schmuck who shouldn’t have been pitching in the first place??

Yes, pretty scary when you are afraid to pitch to Chad Pinder.

The intentional walk was the right call.  It was literally the only smart move I've seen Ricky make all year.  It didnt work out because you don't expect Foster to walk in the next guy.

I get it, but either way both options were high risk.

Noooo chasing. Don't get cocky.

Robert got a cookie there and just got under it.

2 straight cookies

Man what a gift that 0-2 was and he missed it

Missed a cookie

Robert has no chance on sliders from righties, none

There was no one on base this time. It was as low pressure of a situation as we're going to find in this game.

And foster threw a ton of strikes right? 

Did you not read what i said? Seriously go pick a fight with someone else.  

Predictable 

Maybe steal here and hope Mazara can bloop a single?

Son. Of. A. b****.

These announcers love Oakland

Not the right move.  You don't bring a young pitcher into a high pressure situation with no room for error.

Mazara got this

Hit a mistake far, Nomar.

I would have dumped Heuer, Stiever, Kopech, Dunning, Adolfo, Bailey...literally anyone except Vaughn and probably a massive combination of such, for Lynn, Clevinger, or the like.

Now that's a strike!?

Theyre getting the inside strike (again)
