Maybe try Granillo as the closer, worth a shot.

I’m sure some of the goofballs here will rationalize this for you…..11WSChamps wrote: ↑13 Aug 2025 15:34 pm In what (bleep) world do you let a lefty in that situation
Pitch to Goodman?
For Christ sake I could manage this team better.

It wasn’t just JoJo today. Every pitcher was hit today. Like they have been.
McGreevy gave up 7 hits, struck out 2 in 6 innings and gave up 3 runs. That’s solid against the Cubs or Dodgers. It’s not good against a terrible team like the Rockies. Then Leahy gave up a run. O’Brien was the only one unscathed, but was probably hit as hard as anyone. And JoJo gave up the 2 run HR.
6 runs over the last 6 innings.
And credit the Rockies, they don’t give up. I saw them come back from down 9-0 to the Pirates. Despite their record, they’ve been playing with heart.

Don’t know about you guys but I’m going up on my roof to watch bottom of nine!
Standing on the edge.
And the Wife isn’t home to talk me down!

Losing 4 of 6 to a historically inept Rockies team proves how far we’ve fallen as an organization.

One option is run a promotion of fan voting on whether they’d prefer BDW, Mo, or Marmol to close out the game.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Aug 2025 15:43 pmThey have several optionsMIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑13 Aug 2025 15:41 pmWon't be his last.

Well back to .500

Lose two out of three against the second worst team in baseball at home. Hope they can talk Mo to come back , keep Oli and the same lineup. Good Lord
