I don't even care about the blame game at this point. This is an epic fail all the way around.

Nobody is blaming anybody.

You just can't lose games like this in the middle of a wild card race.

Yes, it’s been said many times that the best managers always manage like their best pitcher will allow the first 4 baserunners to reach in any inning.

I know. I tend to toss blame around and I'm not doing it tonight. Speaking for myself.

Definitely what you said when he put Duran in the Royals game, I'm sure

Rut roh.  Ober needs to keep this at 3-1

Remind me, what did we get in exchange for Steer?  Oh right, a busted Mahle.  Never mind!

[exeoud]

Man I love Torii but this is a hard watch having him yukking it up in the booth while we go through yet another late game collapse.

[USAFChief]

Rocco is not good, but he didn't do anything wrong tonight.

 

....

 

 

So far.

No, I said it was a dumb move.

And it still is.

And always will be.

And I have no problems with anything Rocco did tonight.

see how easy this is

Nice of you to show up just as the lead slips away and do your best to pick a fight.

 

Well done.

So Duran is a worse pitcher than Bailey Ober, got it!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Big at bat here.

India takes more pitches than any pitcher in the game—can get ahead 0-1

Y'all are so good at patting yourselves on the back any time something goes wrong I figured I'd join in!

Ok now you’re just trolling. Took me a minute but I get it now.

CIN got Steer his 86 RBI and other contributing players.  TC got about 8.6 IP from Mahle.

Except not a soul here is bashing the manager for having Bailey start the 7th.

No one.

This is your logic, I'm just trying to follow along.

Steer is a stud(no pun intended) and we sure could have used him…..

Welp, lost him, but got that first strike on a swing and miss

No one.

And yet, the Twins are still losing so that's interesting

Try harder.

[RpR]

Should have left Ober in.

D.L. Cruz breaks his slump.

[Shaitan]

I try to stay positive so...I'm out of here for the night. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wait, what just happened 

[MMMordabito]

Way to go, Rocco!

[Tlaker]

See you next year boys!!!

[Parfigliano]

That hurt.

[USAFChief]

Maybe don't walk the RH hitter you were brought in to get.

Didn't you used to be Jorge Alcala?

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Called it!

[exeoud]

Alcala sucks man. Both him and Duran have million dollar arms but 10 cent pitching skill.
