Donovan stupidly throwing home on a play where he had zero chance of getting the runner and instead gifted the batter with first base ultimately handed AZ 3 runs.
Mikolas, with.2 outs and no one on base, offered a meatball HR to Suarez the 2nd time up when the game situation required that Miles pitch around him
2 key moments
2 extremely stupid decisions
Bad coaching on full display.
The Marmot is toxic to fundamental baseball.
How are mental errors and lizard pukes horrible pitching on Oli?

Smellville is a [fork]ing idiot.
No outs, bottom first, you NEVER bring your infield in. Not only is it a stupid move strategically but it sends a bad message to the team.
It's a bit of a panic move
And Donovan did, predictably.
Shut up, idiot

I cant say anything good about Oli, but I cant agree with your points either. Oli didn't tell BD to throw to home, and BD has been playing long enough to know the situation.

As for Mikolas. Do you really think the dugout called for a meatball down the middle?
Donovan does the situation, and it is precisely why he made the wrong choice.
The man in the dugout put Mikolas on the mound - and only because of his contract.
Every player on the team knows it - including Donovan.
And the lack of confidence Donovan had in both the pitcher on the mound and the manager who put him there is exactly why he made the wrong decision.

Who knows how the inning would have played out had the infield been at normal depth. Suarez wasn't destined to hit a home run.
