was safe on replay
but should have been good for only one run, matty

he was BARELY safe
but that’s generally a play that umpires will call the runner out on.

How does TLR still have a job? Come on, I know he didnt throw a pitch.
But it was obvious to EVERYONE that bringing in a lefty who can’t throw strikes OR get lefties out is a dumb move.

"If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice" - Ichiro
McClellan or Reyes pitching in a close game after the 7th inning is a bad idea every time
I don’t really blame Boggs, that was just normal risks of his type of pitching. But definitely curious to take Motte out.

Dude fuck Larussa! why take motte out and why reyes and not miller.
Not to mention y leave boggs in after the Hoomerun. This is such bullshit, we always loose these games. Of course the one game we score runs our bullpen sucks. I can’t even watch this team they frusterate me so bad.

Tony has managed this bullpen in the worst way possible
1) leaves in Boggs when he was obviously struggling
2) Pulling Motte after ONE BATTER
3) using Reyes in a big situation (rather than ANY of our other effective relievers)

4 pitches to Albert
1 pitch to Holliday
1 pitch to Molina
4 pitches to Rasmus
1 pitch to Winn
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
Adam Wainwright reaches on force attempt, throwing error by Aaron Heilman. Jaime Garcia scores. Brendan Ryan to 3rd. Adam Wainwright to 2nd. None out.
Yadi had the hit and run on
And Holliday had a hanging breaking ball in the middle of the plate.
this thread is all Aaron Mile's fault.

"...football games always make me thankful for two things:

yeah, we lost because of the double switch that moved the pitcher's spot to fourth
thus neutralizing albert several times (ibbs). Also because TLR refused to waste PH’s, allowing the pitcher to hit a couple times w/ the bases loaded and two outs.
In case you forgot.

Do a Fangraphs check on Reyes and Pinto. Reyes is not as bad as you think.
And Pinto’s xFIP and FIP have been significantly worse than Reyes’s.
Basically what I’m saying is think of a reason for your opinions.

You know what, I know the rules and guidelines but Im gonna go ahead and say it hoping for a free pass.
Aaron Miles fucking sucks, that is all.

ooooh, so THAT's how we lose
way to encourage the rookies TLR, throwing them into these situations
geez
Molina out, LaRue catching
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
Adam Wainwright reaches on force attempt, throwing error by Aaron Heilman. Jaime Garcia scores. Brendan Ryan to 3rd. Adam Wainwright to 2nd. None out.

This guy has been DFA's and sent to the minors...
I don’t think getting him the loss in extra innings is gonna help his confidence.

Where the hell's Franklin?
Why is Tony saving (presumably) our best reliever for a save situation when it’s likely that he’ll never enter the f-ing game? I hate it when managers do that!!! It’s f-ing insane!!!

"I told myself from the very beginning: 'If he's going to throw a shutout, then he's going to tie,'" Wainwright said. "He was not going to beat me today."
we just arent a very good team.
Our offense is average
No effort
No clutch hitting
Not a very clutch bullpen
Can’t win on the road
Bad defense
Bad baserunning
Bad manager
Two minor league pitchers in our starting rotation
Miles
Fat Miles….
I’m just really pissed right now.

Motte can catch...

Wainwright comes in to play left field, holliday to first.
this thread is all Aaron Mile's fault.
I love Pujols heart but Tony needs to have some balls and tell him to take a seat.

fatigue!!!!
it’s quite simple, same reason why Lopex threw a scoreless inning in the 20-inning game.

Or our big inning was mostly dependent on good luck on balls in play.
Just throwin’ that out there.
