Bell playing it conservative was fine. PCA wasn’t THAT far away from catching it.
But then trying to score was the real head scratcher.
He also should’ve tried a little harder to get in a run down so that Lee could get back to 1st base.
He definitely gets a big slice of blame, but Brooks gets some too.
The worst part is none of their runs mattered, which is why I’m assuming Bell played it super conservatively
I was to blame here. I had 2 outfield fantasy baseball injuries (including Buxton) so I picked up Kody as a stopgap.
O-fer since the pickup until that HR
Tyler did something he specifically knew would get a reaction, for no other reason than to get a reaction.
My takeaway is that they both suck. But we already knew that about Duran.
The indirect result of Roden’s stupid ABS challenge, is Jeffers not pulling the trigger on challenging strike 3.
These batters need to understand that.
AQI is actually supposed to get really bad again in Chicago tomorrow evening (we play in the afternoon). Currently Sunday kind of looks like the worst of the 3 games, but smoke forecasting is pretty difficult.
