    Dubon taking a page out of Altuve's book. Swinging at not even close strike.

    Glad everyone has finally caught up and realized psychedelics improve the pre-game Game Thread! Something to build on down the stretch...

    Just able to pop on the game right in time for MVPeña's popper and Singleton's terrible play at 1B. Haven't given up hope!

    He does turn and start running as soon as the ball is hit, but with his follow through requires a spin off the mound. He’s not sprinting. He probably barely beats Cowser (who was sprinting) to the bag even if he was sprinting…. Singleton just had to do a little more than walk to the ball.

    This is mismanagement from the top down. Espada should be replaced. Bad calls all around. I think it’s hilarious he puts in a righty knowing Holliday is available to pinch hit. Even at 100+ pitches, I’m letting Framber finish that inning. He still hadnt given up a run. Yet he lets Abreu give up a GS and leaves him in for another run. Just stupid.

    This game would have killed my high if I had taken psychedelics before it.

    You always cover the bag, for situations exactly like that one. They teach you that in LL

    Espada isn't a good manager. I worry about him greatly in playoff situations.

    Or bringing in a lefty to face Holliday would make more sense right?

    Man there’s no way I’m leaving in Framber. He looked like he was going to go ape **** on Singleton for that play.

    Holliday hasn’t even been good either.

    Abreu a little too happy on the bench after he single handedly lost the game for us yesterday in epic fashion.

    Yep. Espada is not exactly a brilliant tactician.
