The issue I would have is if Lewis is being given said special treatment considering he hasn't earned it at all. RpR 1

Do you think that's the reason for Rocco's extension? Nope
ziggy Verified Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Lewis batting 2nd Gee, do you think he is going to swing for the fences?
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 This team is losing 90 games for sure. Question is do we get to 95 losses? Blyleven2011 1

USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 This game should never have gone to extras. Just play the GD game of baseball and its over in the 9th. Hell, for that matter, dont get Outman thrown out at the plate with no outs in the third. Until we have a manager that can fix this kind of continuous crap it won't matter who you trade for.

So did John Randle of the Vikings. I would say Randle's ability to get to the QB gave him the better treatment than his application of eye black.

Western SD Fan Verified Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Interesting of all the times to run when you're down two runs. I'm not that critical of it, just interesting to choose to tag and advance there when there have been plenty of times where had they ran earlier in this game, it would have been over by now.
