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.

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.

The Vazquez debacle rears it's ugly head again.

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.

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

Rocco with a bit of a come back!

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

Who was the obvious choice?

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

I blame Gallo's little league coach for that.
