Unusually dumb baseball from a normally smart guy there.

I have little confidence in Moncada and Abreu having good atbats with Anderson on second base next inning, hope Crochet can shut them down here.

Hero ball

 

 

and now crochet?????

Swing decisions don’t get much worse. 

Why the fuck would you swing at that pitch? Wasn't close would have been ball four. What are the hitters doing today? Horrible performance

Duffey had nothing and we couldn't get a hit off him.

Yep and the stupid broadcasters of course agree with it

We only need one, you should be prepared to swing. Doesn’t mean swing at a ball.

The absolute dumbest commentary isn’t coming from the booth.

Arraez gonna bunt and make Crochet field it?

Worst swing I have seen from Anderson

Extra innings, with a man on base? Well of course, we have to use Crochet. It is in the handbook.

Crochet again....I've seen this Twilight Zone episode before....hope it's not a rerun

yeah i didn't agree.... take a walk - wild pitch wins it...

 

you have a left handed batter next and lefties hit him way better.

tim has been hot but.. but tim is not a selective enough hitter to control a 3-0 count.

 

that was fucking dumb.

And why let mendick hit? I don't agree with that.  

Arraez will definitely be bunting.

Swinging 3-0 isn't the bad thing there, with the hottest hitter. But swinging at THAT 3-0 pitch, is.

He was locked in on a 3-0 fastball and chased one not in his zone…pretty simple.

Anderson’s certainly our best hitter now, you take your chances.

Don't understand not using either Kopech or Hendriks here.

I got no problem giving him the 3-0 greenlight, but if you swing it better be a strike in the zone. Not ball 4 high and in. 

That's why I have a problem with giving someone like TA the 3-0 green light. He swings at a lot of pitches outside the zone.

Well this ball game is over and I gotta sit through fucking Reynaldo Lopez 

this is a fucking loss.

And here we go....Crochet has been so bad in these situations 

Crochet is 0-2 in extra inning games in 2 chances, so lets throw him out there....

Putting Crochet in this spot again is dumb

Well fuck this is probably over. 

Now the immense pressure is all on Garrett to pitch over a runner on second in this bullshit extra innings. Thanks Manfred! ?

Crochet in extras this year has not been fun

They losing this one. That swing killed all the momentum
