Duran for the 7th.

The heck?

[thelanges5]

Durán coming out 🤔

[Aggies7]

All the talk about varland, not gonna win many games scoring 1 run (so far)

[thelanges5]

Santana takes it himself.

Rocco is an interesting manager if the definition of interesting is bizarre.

Rocco has the spreadsheet upside down. 

[USAFChief]

I would've pitched out on the 1st pitch

We never do that. I’m not sure we know it’s still legal 

[USAFChief]

Heh.

Well played Rocco.

[cHawk]

I'm not so sure this game can be had anymore.

[CRF]

Looks like that one is probably the ballgame. 

[Aggies7]

We’re just not a smart team. Know the pinch runner is going to steal and we do nothing to try and stop it

Jeffers still probably wouldn't have got him.

Now he's supposed to not trust Duran?

This administration doesn't consider stolen bases important. That's not in question.

Today was an orange slice and participation trophy game. They won the series, won the season series and were content with getting ready for Texas.

Duran has been so disappointing. His stuff is too good to be where he's at. There's no reason he couldn't and shouldn't be doing what Clase is doing in Cleveland right now.

When Sands, Alcala and Jax are available, you send out your closer in the 7th inning - Duran has struggled in non-save opportunities this year.

This isn't rocket science.

Not in the seventh inning.

Why would you leave Varland in for the sixth, pretty clearly not trying to win, and then burn Duran in the 7th?

Really?

I don’t mean to speak for Chief….. but how do you not call for pitch outs?

Duran hasn't pitched much. He was x coming in at some point today. 

As for your first part, we'll just disagree on that, no point in even discussing it. 

[thelanges5]

Ragans plan and execution better than the hitters in this one so far.

I knew we were in trouble offensively the minute I saw our bench today!
