    Duster used to do that to some pitchers. Let them get bashed for 8 to 12 runs and say well hopefully he learned from that

    I'm always saying I'd rather lose a game by having the starting pitcher get got than playing a great game only for the bullpen to meltdown.
    I take that back. Feeling all good after Cam's majestic homerun only to come down crashing. ha, baseball.

    He just gave up 7 in less than an inning. Maybe a 10 run lead is safe.

    Cam big dicked the Cubs and then Lance immediately let their entire lineup and especially Tuck get their lick back. What a boner killer. Hopefully we get the last laugh tomorrow.

    Espada and Lance’s plan to get Hader some rest.

    9-2 top of the eighth.

    Lets see if the lead holds.

    LMJ was throwing slopp/puss from the 1st inning on, and they rolled with it for a bit. So NOW you use Gusto...not "bring in someone to close out the inning" when it's 3 or 4-2 and still a winnable game...*then* you send him out for the 5th?

    I don't say this often but this is managerial malpractice.

    We have been outscored on this homestand.

    All good though.

    Say what you will about Apple+ showing exclusive games, but they give you a little button in the bottom right that lets you sync the local radio with their video.

    Meh. Dusty repeatedly started Maldy over Diaz and Julks over Chas. Every single time it was the wrong decision. I’m not defending Espada like you and Buck are about to defend Dusty, obviously Joe has some improvements to make.

    Pretty sure I suggested this earlier this week. I was told "Waaah...Lance doesn't want to pitch out of the pen." I'd say it's that or AAA at this point.

    Maybe he can serve as an opener for Gusto or Alexander… but I agree, he’s barely good once through the order. That fastball isn’t fooling anyone.

    When they fall apart they do it better than anyone in the league.
