    Good. Odorizzi doesn't deserve the win. Let one of the relievers get it.

    I swear, they have been tee-ing off on Jake the entire game, but Dusty decided to get cute. FML.

    Offense fights back to give Odo the lead.

    You going to give up that lead Odo?

    I’m sure somewhere on his laptop, Click has outlined exactly how and when Javier should be used, including the perfect time to warm him up and the perfect algorithm to ensure he is rested…

    he prints this out for Dusty every series. And Dusty very likely wipe his ass with it and says he knows how to manage bullpens…

    Dusty is like the cornerman who lets his wobbly boxer get one more round only to see him get knocked out a second later.

    Dusty is worthless. Ordorizzi did his job through 5

    We have a damn impressive bullpen. Now we need a damn impressive manager who doesn’t double up Graveman and Pressly with four run leads, insist on burning relievers with partial innings, or let Javier sit while Jake faces any lineup a third time.
    This stuff is so simple, and is repeated so often which such predictable results.

    What just happened? Pitcher dropped the ball, McCormick is allowed to go to 2nd base?

    With the new bullpen, all for manufacturing a run.

    Pitcher was on the rubber so it's a balk

    I believe we're up to 5 outs on the bases between both team

    the more I see Chaz play the more I’m underwhelmed by him. He still appears to
    Be hitting at a decent rate

    Yep, he's been great at the plate since the trading deadline.
