It’s almost like Dusty hasn’t seen Javier pitch before. Putting him in the game with the bases loaded is just dumb **** managing. He needs to start clean.
Dusty is going to rest players to the point where it won't matter they are well rested in the postseason. He knows it isn't an automatic lock this team is making it to the postseason right?
This is on the manager. Biggest spot of the game... you throw your best pitcher in that spot. 4 out situation and he only threw 9 pitches the day before. Just absolutely moronic.
Well, I told him to throw strikes, didn't tell him to hit the ****ing bat with it. Merrifield sitting dead FB and Javier missed his spot by 2 feet.
I said I was worried about Javier coming in, and I questioned the decision by Dusty. That being said, the players still get blame too.
yes, it is. But it’s not a lock they have home field advantage in the first round, and not a complete lock they win the division.
Well, disappointed with that call from Dusty to say the least but still got nine outs so lets see if the bats can make a run
Javier being used in that spot is just begging for trouble. Managing matters. Lance was obviously pissed and stormed out of the dugout.
