Wait WTF is TLR DOING?

I would have let Yermin get one more ab. Leury now the 5 hitter.

Love this defensive move by TLR.

Get Mercedes out and get some defense in there.

Now I wish he would put Z Collins in for Grandal

Wonder if the foot bruise is starting to hurt a lot more? Or is he being blamed for that error?

Grandal was just gonna forget about the pop fly? Wtf lol

Let’s be honest here...Vaughn’s baldness is an issue. Was his hair this bad when drafted? Should have been a huge red flag. He needs to shave that shit instantly and hope he looks tough with a baldy. 

He should try that Urlacher product.

Grandal just drops another pitch.

From the view behind catcher, Yoan flat out missed that last hit 

So moncada should catch a 106 mph sinking liner while playing in but yermin shouldn't catch a 40 mph throw that lands in his glove lol

This sums up your pessimism pretty well.

Once it hits the dirt, it becomes more difficult than a throw not in the dirt.  But keep making excuses for him.

You've lost your mind when you're bending over backwards to defender your "gold glove" level 2B for spiking a 40 foot throw into your 1200 OPS 1B's fat foot. Do your job.

Does Grandal have a glove that is built to actually catch the ball? Just wondering.

He's trying to pull everything into the zone so hard it makes him miss some catches.

horrible at bats by madrigal and time... fucking relax and make the pitcher get the ball up

They both should have made the catch. Of course Yermin should have scooped that, but the throw should have never, ever been that bad.

Yermin is 100% hurt 

Hey Jason, how about we put you on the mound and you sit there and get a 100mph ball hit over your head.  Way to throw him under the bus.  That's disgusting. Might as well just laugh at him for being an athlete.

And we’ve seen that type of horseshit throw from Madrigal seemingly once a series.

It's so encouraging that Rodon has been able to hold his stuff for 100+ pitches in 2 consecutive starts.

Lol

This obsession with benetti is just getting weird.

I don’t know if your young, old, male, female, crippled, etc. But YOU fathom could have caught that ball. 

Maybe I’m over protective, but I really don’t like this much stress this early on Rodon’s arm

He was still able to run down the line after fouling that ball off his foot, so hopefully it's nothing too bad.

Rodon doesn't have good command today but he is battling pretty well and throwing 97 after 100 pitches is a good sign.

Neither do I. There was nothing you could really do about the no hitter, but 107 pitches on his arm tonight is a lot.

Yeah, I'd guess just swelling and stiffness after having to sit on the bench. Hope he's ok.

Overusing Rodon is a foolish mistake.

Absolutely hate it for rodon. A lot of laboring pitches in this start too.

Someone tell TLR he can have a beer if he pulls Rodon before 110 pitches.
