Well, it's hard to pull Floyd with under 90 pitches before he had even surrendered a run...but I guess you can second-guess Ozzie a bit. Thornton has been slumping, though.

 

Willingham and Dunn are their two best hitters, let's just hope to escape with the tie.

 

Okay, got out of it.

Dunn is a beast nothing wrong with that

 

Gavin has pitched his a** off tonight

 

Yep, it's a shame that a terrible pitch call cost him the win. They didn't throw Dunn a single offspeed pitch that inning. Why do we always throw Branyan, Dunn, and Thome low fastballs?

Bad location?

Tyler Clippard isn't as good as he's advertised.

He'll still get the win.....we'll push at least one across this inning.

Bad location?

 

Low fastball on the outer half...perfect location for him to extend his arms.

I guess Clippard has been better than pretty good. :-)

NDs for both pitchers.

It would've been great giving Strasburg his first MLB loss.

Gavin's in the on deck circle

That whole AB is pathetic in so many ways. Gavin is making a ton of mistakes on the mound right now.

 

They called that pitch and location in that count with that defensive set-up???

 

Either Rios got crossed up or he (Gavin) really missed on the location?

Why the f*** is Gavin in the on deck circle?

What?

Unless Ozzie can make Gavin hit a home run, he shouldn't be hitting this inning.

Clippard is 8-3 as a RP? That's a lot of wins.

No way he went there.

Bad call by ump...

He did not go!

Gavin batting? WTF Ozzie!

Also a lot of blown saves.

wow, not even close.

This is dumb. Gavin should not be hitting or pitching next inning. Dumb.

Nice job wasting an AB here.

This is why Ozzie is a piece of crap manager.

Also a lot of blown saves.

 

I'll still take a 1.67 ERA from him.
