Bunt Royce so that they can walk Jeffers and set up a DP with Vazquez????

Stop

Or we could just go to the 11th without scoring.

Stop? Please.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

This one goes to 11.

[notoriousgod71]

The Vazquez debacle rears it's ugly head again.

[GusGus11]

Vazquez hahaha

 

Super glad we brought him into the game.

 

Cant wait for us to start him again tomorrow too in key divisional game. And again Wednesday cause you know, Jeffers is not allowed to start two in a row at catcher.

Yeah we went without scoring because we have Vazquez in to hit dribblers

 

GUy is a liability and single handedly the reason we didnt bunt.

Wonder if Gallo is actually hurting that he didn't hit there.

I would agree with that option as well.  Maybe Gallo is held back for positional flexibility but it would have been a better move for that inning.  Either way, the lefty doesn't hit.  Rocco got the matchup he was looking for.  If Velazquez gets a hit he's a genius.

My initial post was in response to deifying Bochy.  Unfortunately we can't let reading get in the way of some good negativity.

Bochy gets Christian Vazquez into the game at a crucial spot and you don't think he played Rocco like a drum?

It's ok. Maybe Rocco learns. But he got schooled. Manipulated. And we've now gotten zero ABs from Julien, 3 from Luplow and 2 from Vazquez in potential game winning situations.

Jeez. We can't let objectivity get in the way of kissing Rocco's ***.

Not really how it works.

I think we have established you are unclear how game strategy works

[notoriousgod71]

Vazquez will also be our runner in the 11th.

Maybe we haven't met yet.

[notoriousgod71]

Dick singing a different tune than when that pitch was called a strike against wallner.

[mrtwinsfan]

Jeffers played that pitch perfect,  nice

[USAFChief]

Not a big fan of Thielbar but that was pretty nifty.

No squabbling please.

[jkcarew]

Rocco with a bit of a come back!

Thielbar not the obvious choice…but it works like a charm.

Because hes one of our best bats and they would just walk Jeffers and set up the DP for Vazquez or have us use Gallo

Percentages. And you're talking absolutes. And that's how Bochy did play Rocco like a fiddle. Because if he'd have announced Gallo then Julien would be available to ph in the 10th instead. Now Gallo can pinch run for Vasquez

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stay on target....

Who was the obvious choice?

[Aggies7]

That’s got to be it for Gallo as a twin, right?

[notoriousgod71]

I fear wallner ends up being a joey Gallo clone if he's not able to adjust.

[CRF]

Nice move Gallo. 

[Schmoeman5]

Hilarious 😂 

[USAFChief]

uffda

[mrtwinsfan]

Lord , Help us

Which also turns out to be a mistake as Gallo finds another way to be awful.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A dozen?

I blame Gallo's little league coach for that.
