[cardstatman]

I am so tired of bloop hits, batted ball hitting a base and swinging bunts

and walks that score

[craviduce]

Yikes, Leahy

well, that should about do it

Working on draft position

[hmoss859]

And there’s your game

Was Svanson unavailable Oli?

[cbcardsfan]

F this. MO’s legacy is cemented.

[ramfandan]

So if Leahy can pitch tonight, why not use him with the lead?

Because we have to let Fernandez and Roycroft pitch so we can see what we have with them /s

Bloom wants to see them in pressure game with Reds vying for wildcard I guess. LMAO

[Cusecards]

LOL
In hindsight....the right move would have been to let Libby throw 140 pitches!

[butsir01]

Talent was unavailable.

[swatski]

Why waste Graceffo now?

[todd-parker]

John King is the only pitcher tonight to not give up a run. Give him an extension.

[Lightning Rod]

I know Oli takes a lot of heat for his decisions, but when you have a team as bad as our current group, you have no choice but to use what you have. Would anyone chose to play Scott, Church, Gorman and Walker most days if there was an alternative? Would you pitch Roycroft and Fernandez if you didn't have to? You can't pitch Leahy and Romero everyday, although it seems they do, you are essentially forced to use guys and just cross your fingers. This team sucks except for a few players and that's not Oli's fault. That doesn't obsolve him from dumb moves or lack of fundamentals that the team demonstrates, but he doesn't have much talent to work with, but he still has to go.

He did let an inherited run score

[2forDiving]

We will be cursing Mo for a long time. His tenure may end in a couple weeks, his stench will carry on for years.

Nice AB Nootbaar. Why not chase a pitch that was never a strike to K. It’s just frustrating watching the amount of pitches this team chases. No grasp of the strike zone.

Why Noot is still starting is beyond me. May as well give Walker more runway to prove without a doubt he's a bust.

[82birds]

Roycroft now 7.41 ERA
Fernandez 9.00 ERA

I agree. But then Oli already proved to me he can’t manage the previous couple of years
