We are going to leave a man on 3rd with zero outs, aren't we?

Omg Castro
That isn't on Castro. That is a missed squeeze bunt.
Yeah, because it moves a runner over to 3rd. A deep fly then gives you the lead. It's really not that complicated to figure it out.
I am interchanging words, but to me, it was a hit and run call, with a bunt. It wasn't a safety bunt, where Castro is waiting for contact.
You sure? I have had a few drinks, but it looked like he was breaking before the pitch.

Imagine if Dusty hadn't given the hottest hitter in the AL the day off today and he was coming up in his normal spot with the bases loaded here

Imagine if Dusty didn't completely blow it and could've had Meyers running and had Yordan at the plate in 2 crucial ABs there in the 10th?
Instead wasted him with 2 outs in the 9th and nobody on so they could walk him to get to Castro

Well, some of y'all have been asking for Martinez to see high leverage.
Matijevic has to come in with injury to Brantley. Well, I guess Yordan could have instead, so nevermindThe Beef01 said:gougler08 said:I mean I know we made the World Series last year, but good lord he's such an awful managerAggie8587 said:

He'll have managed them into this loss…right up there with one of the Blue Jays losses where his management in the 9th of that game was terrible. Mismanaged pinch hitters and also featured mind-numbing appearances by Castro and Manijevic.

Can't let Judge beat you twice
It's the yin and the yang. He sucks tactically but the guys play hard for him and are loose and perform for the most part in tight spots.The Beef01 said:gougler08 said:I mean I know we made the World Series last year, but good lord he's such an awful managerAggie8587 said:
