    Bringing in Qualls and having Carter cover first base when they've shown squeeze bunt four straight pitches is unacceptable.

    I can handle losing, but sloppy baseball infuriates me.

    Should've just walked him and trusted your best RP this year to get Giovatella out.

    It wasn't your typical suicide squeeze. It was a safety squeeze meaning the runner at third was only running on contact. A pitchout would have been ineffective.

    However, playing your first basemen on the dirt in that situation is completely unexceptable. Hinch just got out managed for the first time that I have seen this year

    Oh, and that wild pitch / passed ball is the difference.

    How long is the leash with Qualls? This dude just does not have it anymore. He's done.

    I can even accept having Carter on the dirt to hold the runner on first…but Carter needs to be running as soon as the pitcher starts the delivery. Carter played that about as poorly as possible.

    Terrible, terrible baseball this inning.

    And Carter needs to go away. 0-13 slump. Jesus, he sucks. I don't care what advanced statistics you guys throw at me, I'm running with the eye test.

    Wasn't necessarily Carter's call to play it at the bag. But generally agree otherwise.. awful job transferring/throwing/not barehanding

    Putting in Quallsy is accepting defeat.

    Carter needs to come through with a HR…it's the only way the universe can be balanced before I go to sleep tonight.

    Why wasn't Harris put in there in the first damn place. Hinch trying to be too smart for his own good. Qualls should be getting mop up duty only if you JUST have to keep him on the roster. Bad stuff happens when he gets in there usually.
