What's he clueless for? Taking him out? Leaving him in this long?  Blaming the manager is often just avoiding blaming the player. 

Don't really care about the state of the pen, he clearly left Lopez in too long.

I’m watching a you tube compilation of MLB ejections from 2010 right now instead of this game. Gardy just got tossed out by Joe west for arguing a call at second where Alexi Casilla dropped a ball on the transfer. Good old days 

Cowboy Joe West?  "Alright  pardner, go grab some cedar in the bunkhouse, you're done for the night."

When Buck goes out to dinner with his team mates, does he sit in a high chair?

With a bib on.

I miss the arguments. Also didn’t realize that the Astros didn’t move to the AL until 2013. Seems like much longer ago than that

Time to ditch the walleye vest, Farmer didn't even have it on right.

[wabene]

Farmer is sprouting a hot streak! 

[USAFChief]

Someone must have reminded Willi Castro over the AS break that he's, uh, Willi Castro.

Editor's note: Vest was put on him by teammates.

Asterisk: against Kyle Gibson.

[SwainZag]

Farmer having a heck of a day

[notoriousgod71]

This reminds me of the game in Oakland where we lit up gio Gonzalez and then Blackburn and company blew a huge lead. The game ended with cuddyer trying to score from second on a wild pitch while delmon crapped his pants at home plate.

[RickOShea]

Has Moran given up his mandatory run per appearance, yet?

There was a segment on MLB Network earlier this season where they were talking about records that will never be broken, and one of the talking heads made a compelling argument for Bobby Cox's 162 career ejections. With replay, there's much less opportunity to argue. If electronic strike zone ever comes, there will be even less. 

[USAFChief]

I just do not trust Moran. Probably never will

[jkcarew]

When we’re planning the parade in early November, we’re going to be saying to each other…

”Remember that HR Farmer hit against the A’s right after the all-star break!!”

You were ninja'd by about an hour on this one.

Yeah, Castro didn't get the hint when his ticket was for cargo.

You serious? Lopez was clearly gassed and did not have it at the end of the previous inning... 

Mismanaging the bullpen is his specialty.. if you have been watching this year... 

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Moran will never be a decent reliever,   to many walks, cant trust him

[IndianaTwin]

Every time Bleday's name gets mentioned, the junior high boy in me wants to make a joke about dropping the "l."

I've been watching, just not seeing the same thing as you, apparently

Dick: "Solano...struggling with the average height sky..."

Hahahaha. That was a good one, Dick. Seriously
