Rays leave 'em loaded in the B8. Down 4-2 to Toronto going to the 9th.
Good timing. 
That was what I was hoping for.
Wish the fans were more vocal, but he seemed genuinely touched. I'd love to see him be more a part of the organization.

Nice job, Garver! Hope Adolis is ok.
Dumb slide by Adolis.
Need to not panic with Dunning here. Let him work through it a bit.
Pulling Dunning
That's a tough call there. Might have rolled with Dunning for one or two more batters to see if he could get through it.
Raymond: "Bochy doesn't want to take any chances here"
Um, our whole dang bullpen is taking a chance.

What a big oof. Just over 50 pitches through 5 innings and have to go to the bullpen at 5 1/3.

Too soon. 76 pitches. He was painting corners. Semien can't catch. The grounder came 2 pitches too late. Fluke HBP. Sometimes I feel like Heim has no clue on how to communicate to the dugout.

Yeah, the whole "doesnt want to take any chances" implies the bullpen has proven themselves to be a better option than the starter.
"not taking a chance" throws a 4 pitch walk.
Oh good already getting others up in the BP after the 4 pitch walk.

Even if he's lights out, you've now used him with a 5 run lead in game 1 of a 7 game series.

It's like Bochy plays the same style of game no matter his actual roster.
Just get out of this inning Stratton!
Pathetic. On Bochy for making these bad decisions
This
****ing
Bullpen
Walking the 9th place hitter.

100% on Bochy. Called it before it happened. Not hindsight. Just a better understanding of baseball than a guy who's won 3 WS. Pathetic.

I'm not even mad at Stratton.
We're 150 games in and the manager just pulled the starter with plenty left in the tank to lean on the bullpen.
Again.
For seemingly the millionth time.
He's an incredibly bad strategic manager.

You have to manage the team you have, not the one you built in your mind.

Whew.
Good stuff there by Heaney and Seager.
Crisis somewhat averted

And it's using our best reliever that is overused at this point. Screams panic/lack of awareness.

Until next inning. This pen has about a 25% chance of giving up less than 4 runs before getting 9 outs. The offense had better tack some on.

Starter ERA? 5th in the league.
Bullpen ERA? 12th in the league.
LETS LEAN INTO THE BULLPEN.

I just don't get it. I understand the analytics about 3rd time through the lineup is potential trouble and all of that.
But you know what isn't potential trouble? Our bullpen. It's proven trouble.
I'll take potential trouble over proven trouble.
