    if it took this game to finally put pause on by the book managerial decisions based on loyalty then so be it. Luke can still be an excellent set up guy.

    I only trust Gregerson vs righties, but the idiot we have managing could not see 4 lefties hitting.

    Hinch is awful, one of worse managers in baseball, really

    Giles would have given up the tying run.

    Disagree, i trust Giles more than Gregerson right now, especially against lefties

    Harris has been so good I would go with him.

    Feliz absolutely dominant too, and Giles throwing well and was brought here for that

    We have options

    He's not even from Xavier, he's from Saint Xavier, where the tuition is 30k annually.

    It would look nice, but asking Gomez to hit a sac fly is a tall task the way he's hitting and seeing the ball.

    We shouldn't be having to continuously worry about our 9th inning situation though.

    Hopefully it's Harris' job from now on.

    The team has been surviving Gregerson's blown saves for the most part but that can take the wind out of a team's sails after a while.

    The offense choked just as much as Luke.

    You HAVE to get the man from 3rd when there are 0 outs. That's just piss poor hitting there.

    so...Giles to closer role?

    Feliz is too young right now. Rather leave Harris in the 8th. Thoughts?

    Doesn't help when the manager puts them in disadvantageous situations. Valbuena and Rasmus are putrid against LHPs.

    I think the overall suckiness from Gomez makes everyone overlook the fact he has been good vs LHP. That spot I rather him that Valbuena and not even close
