Not according g to the record book. I’m sorry but MLB could have done something about long before Barry Bonds, but they chose not to. Like it or not the record is 73

Well, I don't like it.  

[Aggies7]

This is literally sickening. Rotten.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lol the Yankees announcers are questioning if the twins can ever beat the Yankees if they can’t beat this version

Bonds' record is still more impressive to me than whatever judge does. Sure, he was juicing but he walked a **** ton of times. Nobody pitches around judge for some reason .

[Aggies7]

Sanchez should have walked to start the inning and instead we’ll go down 1-2-3

[notoriousgod71]

I would love to know the rationale behind purposely burning through your garbage bullpen when you know you have an entire game after this.

[Battle ur tail off]

Seen this kind of game lots of times this year. Even though I have faith in Jax, this is the same way most of our losses have played out this year. Starter has done well, Rocco pulls em, bullpen gives up multiple runs and we can't score on the opposing teams bullpen. Hopefully they can today, we'll see.

Buck Showalter had him intentionally walked with the bases loaded

He was afraid Varland would give up a home run to tie the game hehehe

They'll lose, the only question is which pitcher gives up the winning run to the Yankees.

Honestly I don’t really either. But MLB refused to do a thing about for years, so they are as much to blame as any player. And now they ban so many substances, most of which have nothing to do with steroids. This whole fiasco is on them.

Rocco will not allow a starting pitcher to get a Win  ,,,, 

What a crock  ...

They may well be spot on with that assessment. 

[USAFChief]

Why is Billy Hamilton in this game?

2 K Garlick would be the reason I believe

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good for Thielbar against these replacement Yankees, and having a good season, but he’s another guy I have trouble trusting against the normal Yankees lineup of righties.

If there was a playoff series against them, I think you would have to leave him off the playoff roster for that series. Not to get ahead of myself at all…

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That was a good spot to use Thielbar 

[CRF]

Some things never change...sigh.

[brycenation]

Rinse and repeat,,,,,as soon as the change was made and whichever reliever was called on it was inevitable. Soooooooo many times this season. 

[wavedog]

For the love of all that is good - piece together a damn late inning run

[Vanimal46]

Still waiting for that “put the team on my back” moment from Correa. 

[Aggies7]

I keep waiting for correa to do something huge for this team. I’m still waiting

I would hope that isn't the reason.

Ninja’d

[USAFChief]

What a tough AB there, Carlos.

We've got like a 3 man lineup, it'd be nice if you'd contribute for a change.

Unfortunately, that may be asking for something this team is seldom capable of.
