Left a fastball right out over the heart of the plate.

 

Cleto has no clue where the ball's going.

 

And the White Sox bullpen implodes again, despite the CS. Passed ball on Nieto.

 

90 losses is looking generous.

95 would be an improvement over last year. I expect 92-95 losses.

 

You could just say he may be the worst manager in baseball, and I doubt you'd get many complaints.

 

I guess Robin thought Moose was due (ha ha). Robin is the sacrificial lamb manager during our "rebuild."

Webb threw 4 innings a few days ago, he's gassed.

He threw 2.2 on Wednesday, I'm sure he could have went today. Either way, putting in Cleto there and pitching to Perez was the worst possible decision.

Have Dunn pinch-hit.

OK

It was a hanging slider.

 

Whatever it was...Cleto's not a good match-up with Perez.

 

Everyone could see that one coming. Getting beat on a major league below average pitch is even worse in that situation.

Funny thing is he has somehow outmanaged this board this year already.

So he can outmanage a bunch of guys on an internet message board.

Wow, impressive.

2.2? Felt like it was more, my bad. Regardless, he threw more pitches than a MRP/SU should ever throw.

Moustakas....career against Downs, 0 for 4, 2 K's.

 

Of course!!!

Good start, let's go!

Good AB.

It shouldn't have mattered who the righty reliever was. You had the open base with 2 outs, with one hitter batting .500 and the other without a hit. I didn't even think it would be a difficult decision.

Cleto's fastball must be awfully straight. If he throws that hard and still is lousy.

Comsidering these are the same geniuses who think he should do everything they say or he is an idiot, it is.

Looks like Holland is having some control issues!

Same with Jones...throwing 95-100 doesn't matter if the batter's sitting on it. And yeah, it's not with a ton of movement. Or, I should say...Cleto just has no idea of command or where the ball's going.

Love groaning fans at games who can't see a damn thing.

I wonder if Yost would have pinch hit for Moose. Probably not this early in the season. Royals fans would have been incensed had Moose made an out. They'd have wanted a pinch hitter.

If he did, then that's when you bring in a righty pitcher.

Expecting RV to improve in bullpen handling from day 1 which he has not is not alot to ask.

It's not Mr. Peabody here.

 

Anyone who follows baseball...95% of them...would have done the same thing if presented with the exact same scenario.

Swinging at the 59 footer...not good

Eaton can have as many 9 pitch ABs as he wants, but they don't matter when that's the result.

Same with Jones...throwing 95-100 doesn't matter if the batter's sitting on it. And yeah, it's not with a ton of movement. Or, I should say...Cleto just has no idea of command or where the ball's going.

Cleto was very popular on this board a week ago. Even if his career ERA was over 10.

If he did, then that's when you bring in a righty pitcher.

 

Good point. I forgot about that.

I hear ya. But that still doesn't make Robin a good manager, at least not in this stage of his career.

Garcia on 2nd with two chances to score him.

 

Eaton swung at ball four...split finger was difficult for him to pick up.

 

 

Almost the same situation we faced in Game 3 at Minny, except runner was on 3rd with 1 out.

Let's see if we can actually get a clutch hit here this time.
