    Diaz needs to calm down and have a good AB here. He can get amped and have bad ABs in these spots.

    I just want to thank Scott Servais for intentionally walking a cold Alvarez to pitch to a hot Diaz.

    I absolutely despise the batter in the box "ready to hit" with 8 seconds rule. It's ****ing ridiculous.

    Yanier's approach is lousy in these situations. Holy crap.

    He'd rather swing at a ball 8 inches out of the strike zone

    A long time ago, MLB instituted a rule that gave the pitcher 12 seconds to pitch with the thought that was such an egregious amount of time, they would never need a clock to enforce it.

    That Mushinski decision was so stupid and predictable

    Diaz could go 0 for his next 30. I’d still much rather him play than Maldy. I don’t care if Diaz ****s up because he’s learning. No more Maldy. If Yanier gets injured, call someone up and play that guy over Maldy.

    Why wasn't that a foul tip strikeout. Ball was secured in his neck.
