Seby didn’t frame it

Shocking isn't it?

McGuire would have "hand"led it much better, of course.

Shortsighted.

Joe Kelly sucks, but lest we forget:

7 walks, 9 hits: 4 runs

Ruiz should be able to take any intrigue out of the top. of the 9th.

Worst part of all of this is having to wait to see if Kopech gets an MRI on his knee

Team gets screwed by the ump and the drunk asshole doesn’t say a thing to protect his players.  Kulpa is probably one of his drinking buddies.

How did Joe Kelly not say something to the ump? These guys really don't care. 

Has the manager yelled at the umps even once in the past 2 years?

Too late for a mea Kulpa I guess!

Only when someone gets hit.

Yes but only on actually correct calls.

Only when the calls aren't even that bad. When they're obviously bad like they are today...not even a word. 

Joe Kelly is trash. 

At least this saves the BP by shortening the game to 8 innings.

Joe K = Joe Kevorkian.

The new Dr. Death.

Dallas, we hardly knew ye.

Back to hoping they lose every game in embarrassing fashion so he either quits, gets fired or gets so depressed he gets another DUI.

Who cares. Fun/style is allowed in baseball.

Yep - unless they suck. Then it just looks like someone celebrating a sack when they're down 35-3.
