First off, you're coming off a loss, how you gonna bench your best hitter to begin with. Then you don't use him at the perfect time to pinch hit.
Yordan doesn’t need to play in every game. He got the day off so give it to him. The real stupidity there is PHing for Cam in the first place.
Well yeah. And Joe is looking dead at the Tigers bullpen watching a lefty already warmed up. And this was his conclusion and decision. True story.
Espada, "Thanks Cam for hitting a big 2 run bomb earlier... but you grounded out your last AB and can't trust you anymore today"
Like I said it's only a 2 game losing streak after miraculously finding yourself almost at the top of the division. What can that hurt? Come on man, you can't be serious with that Yordan take.
Weren’t you the one last season that always wanted Joe to bring Hader out there for a 2nd inning? And look what happened. It’s June. A 2 game losing streak doesn’t mean anything. Yordan is in the longest 0-fer slump of the season. Give him the damn day off and let him reset.
I was listening on the radio . Did they have both a lefty.and right in pen ? Or just the lefty . I think espada is clearly a bottom third manager .
Jake should ALWAYS be pitch hit for in late inning high leverages with runners on base. He hardly ever delivers. He is as anti-clutch as it gets. Joe should have just had him bunt if he was going to leave him in the game.
I’m not sure, I didn’t hear them say on the TV broadcast. Either way Loperfido vs a lefty was definitely the worst possible matchup.
Yordan will not be participating today folks. It's only a 2 game losing streak. No harm, no foul. What a putz.
LOL oh no a 2 game losing streak…season is over!!!! Edit: I’m convinced if you were the manager every player would be starting 162 if healthy and Hader would pitch in every game.
