It would be a 1 run game if it wasn't for garbage ass Tolleson.

Tolleson is likely to put me on medication

E2 on that one. Tolleson sort of in the right place.

Battle back just to see Tolly **** the bed. I'd be livid as a player. This **** needs to be DFAd

That's an E1 and a dfa in my book. So what if Rua missed the cutoff man by 6 inches? The bases were loaded, and it was a harmless physical error. 100% on Tolleson.
Yep. Just plain awful. Team fights back and here's good old Tolly to throw gas in the embers.

Ya, Chorinos should have had that one.

It's been a bad day of baseball.

This inning will not help with Tolleson's confidence. We need a bullpen arm as soon as possible.

I didn't know confidence was required to back up home plate.

And it really wasn't a poor start to the inning. Should have been 2 down and nobody on when Seager came up. Bad bounce on the strikeout and tough luck on the hard hit ball hit back at Tolleson.

I feel like Tolleson is okay, until **** gets sideways, then he goes off the rails.

Fatass lets a meatball go right down the middle just **** right off for strike 1.

Fielder bumping up the BA with a solid 1 for 5.

Either directly or indirectly his fault, bad things happen when Tolleson pitches. That needs to cease.

Tolleson is done!!! He has Neftali Feliz disease! What does SD, Cincy, Minn, CWS, Mil, Atl, or Mia have available? Heck is Tommy Hunter available? He's way better than Tolleson at this point.

Just brutal, guys.

I know when I went through the process of losing my mom, I was a little distracted. I'm glad my boss didn't fire me.

I know there is no crying in baseball and I don't know what you do with a guy who probably isn't in the mental frame of mind to take the mound, but I have some sympathy for the guy. At a minimum, I'm not going to attack him.

Glad to see Moreland heating up.

I think we can all sympathize with his situation.

But Tolleson's performance didn't just come out of the blue this season -- the signs were there last season.

Tolleson was really good last year. He's a noticeably worse pitcher this year, when looking at his stuff and his pitch quality. It's night and day. The only way you can say 'you saw signs last year' is you're the type who is ticked off every time the closer allows a base runner or doesn't like that he doesn't get as many Ks as you'd like.

I would guess Maddux or Banny saw something last year that made them feel more comfortable with closing post season games with Diekman and Dyson rather than Tolly.

He pitched 5 straight days at the end of season and was a little broken by the postseason.

It's worth noting that the two pitchers who People were concerned about being overused last year for the Rangers are currently hurt (Kela) or broken (Tolleson).

Last year, Tolleson was a control pitcher who threw a low 90s fastball wherever he wanted and one of the best changeups in baseball. This year, he basically quit throwing his changeup all together and can't locate his fastball for ****.

He's a different pitcher.

Tangent: I'm extremely concerned about Bush's workload and hope it's managed in a reasonable manner this year. He's a beast, but I don't won't him broken.

So Tolleson was "a little broken" the last month of the season, enough that in postseason play he was removed from the job he had all season, but those weren't signs of trouble?
