Were they non-competitive at bats or were they just walks and that didn't sound bad enough?

I think he was ahead of both batters

Kids never gonna grow if you dont let him try to pitch through a rough inning. He got that first out, give him the next hitter......or burn the bullpen.

They think he sucks

Great job Murphy.

Wouldn't be surprised for one of the starting pitchers to come before this series ends.

Some of the posters here just reek of middle aged men who have accomplished nothing with their life.

Dude is catching the ENTIRE ZONE on these pitches.

The first, bozo

Oh okay. I thought non-competitive at bats usually don't involve the pitcher getting ahead in the count or anything like that. Now I guess non-competitive means the batter gets on base.

Quero sucks.

There has to be someone we can pick better than Quero and Romo.

So are we allowed to question the decision to pull Noah now?

I might have leaned towards keeping him in, but also they've been burned twice recently by trying to have the more established Martin/Burke pitch through a "free bases + unlucky contact" inning so I get it.

I would say that’s true for anyone posting on a baseball message board at 8:25 on a Monday

Flawed logic with Chris Murphy being next man up.

Yep. We aren't in a rebuild anymore.

so frustrating to lose a 3-0 lead

Nice play Chase

stone might kill Quero tonight

Remember when we almost traded for Jones lol...?

Still only a 661 ops.

Super high leverage situation and he puts in.. Chris Murphy?

Who do you expect? Grant Taylor?

That'll work.

You could say Murphy has better numbers this year than Noah, but I'd guess if Noah got hand-picked situations out of the pen like Murphy has he would have better results. Of course in the context of the game going on, sometimes it helps just to change looks. Didn't work tonight.

This Yankees lineup is so bad too. Still have no idea why Acuna was playing so deep in the hole.

Free base cost them. Quero has zero baseball IQ.

They’ll be lucky to win one game this series with Cole and Schlittler up next.

Don't talk about SS2K5 that way. He hasn't even posted in this thread yet.

I mean what did everyone expect putting Schultz out there to start. Being down by 1 run at this point is a gift from above. Its not the Athletics. They can possibly still win.
