    Now any normal manager is pulling Okert. But this ain't your normal manager.

    Maybe we can bring in Nick's favorite reliever Ort to close the game.

    Don’t understand how you walk back to back hitters there. Throw the **** in the middle of the plate

    Joe, you got more luck than sense.

    Pitch right down the middle popped up.

    Be better Joe. Be better.

    You would be the absolute worst manager lmao way too emotional. Hader would be burned out by August.

    Dude manages like it's MLB the Show.

    Ever since they DFA tayler scott, Joe hasn't been that bad. If anything, the pitching decision is most likely coming from Josh Miller.

    Some of the metrics on Hader’s swing/miss rates and hard hit contact have regressed over the last month… that being said, it was other-worldly prior to that so some regression had to happen.

    I do like giving medium leverage spots to guys… helps this team out on those extra inning or “everybody depleted” nights… and yes, I do consider a 3 run lead medium leverage regardless of the save statistic.

    That being said, Espada likes to use the A team for 4 run games as well…. So shoulder shrugs as to whatever it takes.

    3b was playing in shallow LF, if Brice had any ability to bunt he'd be safe at 1B and then had an easy steal of 2B

    Hader will at least give up a homerun.

    however, it needs to be a 2-run homerun at a maximum.
