Color me stupid, but if Pages is experiencing cramping and dehydration issues, would it not have been wise just to put Pozo behind the plate after he pinch hit?

I mean, I am no big league manager anything but….

one would think so

[Rosie's Rule]

Sell

[cardstatman]

and that's not a winner.

But, would the smartest iPad in the room do so?

[moose-and-squirrel]

but then he wouldn't have gotten a chance to strikeout one more time

so... there's that

Oli is about as worthless as Mozeliak.
When Bloom takes over, he should show Oli the door.

Another no-decision series?
Four tough games off the schedule with no gain to show for them.

Getting a split at home is worse than a neutral outcome. It is a step backward.

The over/under was 2.5 wins.

split with a team that has a better record and MUCH more talent

but I get after a bad loss lots of folks are snarky (not directing that to you)

[butsir01]

I was just looking at the series this way. We have only so many games left, started off with two tough wins and then tripped up on both of the last two, gaining nothing in the chase. Psychologically bad for a team that so often looks disinterested. Oh, well.

nice stroke Burly off the lefty

but he can't hit lefties at all

must be true cause I read it here

That's funny and so true. He's at least average against most lefties. The outstanding LHP breaking balls are still an issue. Like for many MLB lefty hitters.
