1-8 in extra inning games after this one. Unbelievable. Tucker had such a bad night at the plate. And Yordan’s “injury” is absolutely ridiculous. Some of the most important games of the year and we have Tucker miss three games to an illness and Yordan hurting himself closing a f***** door.
Uncanny how this team simply refuses to take control of the season when given the opportunity. At no point this year has it ever felt like they maintained the level of success we’ve become accustom to the last 7 years. Just a frustrating year all around. And Graveman was a great pick up but he’s gassed. Dude is nowhere near the zone.
Sorry, I'm more honestly asking. I know some relievers may want to call pitches. The radio broadcast said Gravemen calls his own pitches but missed the location. I don't know how he interacts with Maldy though.
Despite the hate he gets, Graveman's actually been really good since he was acquired—1.59 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. Bummer he didn't come up bigger than this tonight. This definitely feeds that narrative than he can't be trusted in big moments.
He’s thrown too many pitches lately and was never coming into this game tonight if not for extra innings… Team had plenty of chances to make sure that didn’t happen.
No not really but I had a feeling Graveman wouldn't seal the deal. He's been shaky more times than not since he's come back.
So, they want to speed the game up but let a guy that hits a foul ball off himself take as much time as he can to where he feels comfortable again - comfortable enough to put it over the fence? And this after a pitcher doesn't face the minimum? Yea I know he was hurt but what's to stop anyone else from faking an injury to get out of the game... anyone can limp. Im just frustrated... every time I turn on a game, this happens. No joke. Sorry, this one is on me!
We had our chances with our best hitters up. Knew this would be a goner once it got into extra innings. Duvall was having good at-bats so I sensed that was coming.
Close… It’s injuries + Dusty Tucker could’ve started Game 3 vs Seattle. But Mr Ego chose otherwise. We gotta overcome EVERYTHING
