    Well, at least Jankowski got to the big leagues, so good for him.

    Now it may be Kevin Comer's turn. Slim pickens at Fresno right now to say the least.

    What a ****tacular inning.

    I love guys like Jankowski, worked their asses off to get there, you really want them to succeed, but his stuff just screams AAAA.

    Terrible decision by Hinch to bring in a rookie in a 2 out situation like that. You needed a vet to finish out a stressful inning like that..

    Tolliver's hurt, Paulino is still rehabbing, Martes is working of his crazy inconsistency...so maybe not.

    not sure why you even go with him in that spot... you could've definitely gotten out of the inning without too much damage done. surely there was a more capable/reliable arm to go to there.

    For those b****ing at Hinch, who should he have used? All 3 starters this series will be lucky to make it to the 6th. There were 2 outs, what would you have done? He needed him to pitch a couple of innings at least, I understand the decision, but it sure as hell didn't work out.

    Also, don't walk the buck-fiddy hitting catcher with 2 outs.

    Jankowksi was a bad call, but we have the best record in baseball and people still act as though Hinch is some massive liability as a skipper.
