Ok, yeah now we pissed this one away probably.

Horrible managing this inning. Kept two best bullpen guys on the bench because you wasted them yesterday 

fucking horrible fucking catching, GET IN POSITION TO MAKE THE TAG

It was so obvious that this was going to happen.  Tony is such a joke!!

Yep, he’s so bad 

Well thatll do it now go down meekly and watch Donaldson and Cruz destroy the corpse of Reynaldo lopez...

Andersons stupid AB killed any slight chance there was to win this game 

The Burger play basically defined the inning. He gets the runner at 1st or Celestino at 3rd and the inning is probably over. 

We let a 8.50 ERA pitcher beat our ACE, who threw a 7 inning performance giving up ONE RUN. 

Dang gumit 

Bullpen shits their pants again.

god i'm fucking pissed off, losing is one thing, losing with just awful, stupid baseball all fucking day is another.

Crochet's extra inning ERA feels like its about 300.

It’s Ryan Burr.  Are you really expecting him to be good?

They are available today. The decision not to bring them in was not because they pitched yesterday.

How about blaming the shit pitcher. Honestly you have your flame throwing lefty and burr who everyone wants. They both shit on themselves. Sometimes players need to perform . Anderson with a shit swing on 3-0 . He sucked on that at bat. But everyone blames the manager. The players suck sometimes . Wait till next game they will suck more.

That's nice. Now the out that should've been made by Burger looms large.

And that’s the danger of an inexperienced player at third when Moncada is one of the best…that whole move Yoan to 2B and play Jake there instead argument. 

Go Astros

The burger play screwed the inning. The twins almost ran themself out of that inning

I still can't understand why TLR consistently refuses to use his best relievers in the last/extra innings when the game is tied.

I guarantee you he would have been more likely to use them today if they didn’t go yesterday

If this happened in the 10th inning or something, sure. Then it's fine to blame the pitcher. But 99% of the people in this thread right now would have agreed Kopech or Kendriks was the correct guy to bring in, not Crochet. The issue is that so many of Tony's mistakes are very obvious in the moment.

You gotta hand it to Tony. He made a lot of wrong decisions.

Give him time, he'll get the hang of it eventually.
