    His pitches look weak

    2 runs.

    the runner on 3rd was his fault.

    There's a reason Taylor Scott played for about 800 teams before us. It wasn't because he was good.

    Smart decision here bringing in Abreu. That looked like a 2 run Heim homer waiting to happen.

    I was talking about the runner on third. But you’re right about 2 runs.

    One run, they would have scored regardless even if he fielded it cleanly

    The smoke and mirrors of Taylor Scott is no more.

    Reminds me of Montero 2022 when he started to fade out the last few weeks of the season. So damn lucky he didn't implode in the playoffs.

    Thanks Dana Brown for addressing the suspect bullpen.

    Scott has clearly regressed the past few weeks.

    His all-world standard the first 4 months was unsustainable, but the regression deserves mention.

    Abreu and Hader are available, but it's just the 6th.

    Unlikely. Hader pitched 2 days straight. Pressly is available and most likely will be the closer.

    You would have absolutely complained if Diaz was on the bench.

    Hopefully we just score more runs and don’t have to worry about it. I don’t know who else you use though if he’s unavailable.

    I don’t see your point. He has 2 hits btw.

    Oh I see what you're saying. No, I am totally cool with catchers being off day game after night game.

    Does anyone disagree with the pitching changes thus far?

    Kikuchi exits mid-inning -- Scott relieves.

    Abreu will likely be asked for 4 outs.

    Hader is stretching in bullpen (he's pitched last two days.

    You’re complaining about Yordan in LF, correct? My point is Yordan had to play LF so that Diaz could DH.

    And before you complain about the backup catcher, he’s clearly catching Kikuchi’s starts which makes sense. He also has 2 hits and a homer.

    Edit: My bad see you edited your response. I wouldn’t have had a problem with Diaz getting some rest either, but this team has been so bad offensively lately, it makes sense to get them both in there. It sucks he whiffed on that ball but kind of have to live with it right now.
