This might be the worst ump performance I have seen

I feel like I've seen people post this in half of the game threads this season, and honestly, it's warranted

Robertsons FB command has sucked all season

You would think by now Ventura would know this doesn't work.

That's the problem years 5 he has no clue still.

Robertson's fastball is so bad. 90 down the plate is pathetic from your closer

 

Pretty sure it's a cutter if it's only 90. But if it's straight, then it's a fastball.

Literally every pitcher in this game has pitched like garbage. The bad ones and the good ones. Are you guys seriously still trying to blame this loss on the manager?

 

Like I get being mad and frustrated, but not blaming the players for playing like s*** is baffling. Robin put righties against righties and lefties against lefties. Wtf else do you want him to do? It's the AL. Players have to execute.

Well this sucks... Thought they were going to get the win going into the bottom of the 5th. Oh well.

Umps/Refs have been bad in all sports this year.

And again when Abreu homered

Robertson is good vs lefties. Made sense to pitch him here

Robin will never learn. Always puts in garbage relievers with a lead until they blow the lead, then puts in the good relievers after it's too late.

Using your closer on the road in a tie game is fine. Can't take a lead if you can't get to the next inning.

Not a whole lot a pony manager can do with a dumpster fire bullpen

Finally the ump gets one right

Good pitch there

I still think Robertson might be hurt. His walk rate is way up from last year and there's just games where he clearly doesn't have any command.

Albers should never be in a game with the lead with runners on base. And leaving Beck in there with bases loaded? Seriously? That was extremely lucky also.

 

Alright Hanley, give us a nice GIDP here

If JBJ wanted to bunt right there, it might have been a good idea.

Who else should he put in there? Guys are inconsistent and hurt.

The only thing I can blame Robin for this game is putting in Albers before Jennings and maybe not leaving Jennings in for the 7th.

Your best highest leverage relievers. Jennings to relieve Shields and Jones in for Beck with the bases loaded.

 

You don't let bums like Albers and Beck lose you the game.

Very nice!

Way to pitch out of that one.

I agree with Jennings that's it. Robin has to make chicken salad out of chicken s*** most of the time.
