How about a DP here.

We are carrying 14 pitchers and made moves before the game. How in the fuck is no one available. 

we have thrown one reliever that wasn't called up yesterday. does this mean no relievers were available today lol?

Again, are Gravemen & Hendricks hurt or is Tony saving them for “later”?

If graveman can't work much.  Then seriously why even sign him to a big contract?  Yet another fail by Hahn. 

Cease warming and Banks pitching.  I am dumbfounded.

He also couldn’t ever lay off high fastballs…then the low and away slider issue.

Sigh.

I just wanted to point out that teaching the let the ball travel deep approach has been a thing for over a decade. It’s completely bonkers.

TLR is here to lose. Hahahahaha

Makeup call for Seager

I normally would agree but I'm not sure you can adequately plan for all of these injuries...

if the bullpen is THIS depleted then why arent we bringing up more pitchers? We are warming up Cease who threw 100+ pitches just a couple of days ago!

Banks should have been out of the inning, that blown call against Seager was atrocious umpiring

nice job by banks. but i am still dumbfounded that he is in the game

Well, that was definitely unexpected.

Wow.

Good job eventually. 

Lowe has a real “hate the face” thing going on. The short sleeve turtle neck sure doesn’t help.

 

but hell of a job by banks

Playing with fire doesn’t burn him this time

Whew. Tony thinks he’s a genius now for sure. 

Heck of a job getting out of that without needing to use that dynamic reliever Dylan Cease. Save him to close it out!

The zone has been awful all damn day

TLR loves to lose games. That’s his strategy.

That just goes against the way the majority of Latin American players learn to play the game…

Exactly, awesome he was able to get out of that inning with no damage down, but what the fuck is Tony doing?  Use your high paid relievers while there is still a chance to win instead of the lefty you chose to demote over Sousa.

Liam Hendricks not available today? Lol 

First pitch groundball out!  So awesome!

Bad roster management led to today's predicament, but given the situation as it was, the right moves have been made (so far) regarding pitching.
