This excuse sounds quite familiar...

Bummer in.  Double switch coming?

Stop giving him high leverage spots!  

You'd be saying the if it was Marshall or anyone else. 

 

Vaughn in LF, Lamb out in RF with Gonzalez shifting.

Can't afford to have Bummer go to his usual 3 ball count with his first batter.

Lamb is the one that got subbed out.

Holy moly

2 down

Part of my problem with Rick Hahn is his lack of imagination.  Al these guys have options, start shuttling guys in and out of AAA until something clicks.   Sitting here and doing nothing on the pen is unacceptable.  

Team is infuriating to watch. I don’t expect them to keep up the pace they played to start the season, but ugh.

holy shit his defense backed him up for once

Bummer into the 5th spot for Lamb, Vaughn in LF batting 9th.  

Phew! 

Leury!

I need to go change my underpants. 

That would have been nice yesterday as well...

oooweee that was close.

That would be happening if we had the quality down there.  Hahn would like nothing more than for Burdi to be a success. 

Only 4 pitches....do you put Bummer back out there for the 8th?  Let Hendriks cover 6 outs?

Bummer needs to go back out there. Burr should have returned for the 7th based on his quick work in the 6th.

Man, Heuer needs to figure it out.
