Thanks. Not sure why I didn't know that.

Insult to injury is Springer recorded the walk on passed ball so he won't lead off the 11th when we get there


Passed ball made it a 3-2 count for George.

Unless I'm miss remembering.

I had to look it up. I was confused when it happened, but reading it jogged my memory.

It's rule 5.06(b)(4)(H), for reference.

He is not infallible. This is a in-game thread for crying out loud. What do you expect? Managers get paid to be second guessed. Nobody is trying to take away his ring. Why have game threads if all we do is sing the virtues of every move? Devo pitched 3 straight games. Devo blew the lead. You will get second guesses. Just part of baseball.

We have a bunch of posters who take any criticism or second guessing to the extreme and immediately throw out the "well maybe we should just fire hinch" comments...they are equally if not more annoying than the lunatics who act like the season is over every time we lose or somebody strikes out.

And more times than not these people are typically quoting and arguing with each other and both think they smarter than the other group and just "get" baseball more than the other group.

Gotta get Torres here and avoid Gardner coming back up. That ****er is 4-5 today.

This is not the case. Most of us are just discussing the other side tonight.

Who has done the "fire hinch" thing at any point this year?

The truly annoying side is the side that throws out extreme hyperbole...

No multiple-run ninth-inning lead is safe

Man, rough year for Bradley this far. That's 3 game winning hits off him.

****ing A. Pisses me off even more that's it's against the Yankees and everyone is going to slob their knob. Basically makes baseball highlights impossible to watch.

Pretty sure our field reporter is way hotter then theirs. At least we win that.

That's 2 games in 3 days against top teams that we have thrown away.

Not sure he would have got him anyway, but it could have been closer, that's for sure.

Bullpen has to be addressed, period. Without we are one and done in the playoffs
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

He was trying to get squared for the throw. I don't know what else he could've done.

Yep. These hurt you when you're playing the teams that you'll be fighting for home field against

Peacock giving him anything close to the zone with 2 strikes was inexcusable. He didn't look to sharp either. Was playing with fire on some of those that were fouled off during that inning.

The game Sunday really put us in a tough spot as it looks for the first time like this BP is wore out right now.

You probably said this last year, too. That's an over-reaction. I'm as pissed about the past few games as anyone, but do you really think our pitching order would have been the same group if this was a playoff game? Nope.

We are now 4-12 in one-run games.

It's a problem yes, but our bullpen wasn't gifted 5 errors. Our bullpen also didn't only score 5 runs with 18 baserunners.

The batters deserve just as much **** as the bullpen does for this one, if not more. 5 errors and you only score 5 runs?

The sequence in the 8th inning against Betances (or was it the 9th?) was completely inexcusable. He walks two batters in a row, and doesn't even come close to the zone on the second walk. Then yuli comes up swinging out of his shoes on balls nowhere near the zone and K's. Gattis grounds into what should have been a DP, and marisnick does marisnick things and can't even get the bat off his shoulder.

The yankees defense was begging for the Astros to win that game, and they said "no thanks" and handed it right back.
