    Was looking at MPH, not pitch count... Sale could easily finish the game.

    a one run lead against Sale, a shaky starter, a fantastic bullpen that hasn't been overused

    doesn't take a genius or hindsight to know what Hinch should have done

    Dammit, we're one Valbuana mental mistake away from not having the last 3+ pages of stuff.

    Still wholeheartedly disagree with that. Surprised you think it was such a clear mistake. If the ball was straight to SS, sure...but Correa had to go deep in the hole to get it. Which also means Valbuena had to have reacted into the hole as well--at least slightly.

    Would be nice if we could actually get a bat on the ball...

    Why is Danny Worth on this roster?

    Agreed.

    The flip side is that he stuck by his guy who has earned that right. That probably goes a long way in the clubhouse for the guy who has been your best pitcher all year. Yes, the outcome sucked. But I see why he did it.

    I think we can all agree that those Ace commercials are terrible.

    Worth and Jake just batted... hopefully by the next time they're up, were either 1) leading or 2) are in easy position to pinch hit or bunt

    Yep

    Wouldn't have to be very good on offense to be an asset

    If the ball's straight to SS it doesn't matter, play's at 2nd or 1st. He was not so far off the line that he could get there, reacted a step or 2 immediately, saw the ball was hit slowly and he had no chance, knew Correa's only play would be at 3rd, knew there was a slow runner on 2B, then kinda watched for a couple of bounces instead of sprinting back to the bag.
