Doolittle is on fumes. Strickland or Hudson will be closing games soon enough.

Looked ok to me....

[Truconfidence]

Ross tomorrow pitching back home

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Oh hell yes

[Truconfidence]

The problem is that Davey won't give these guys a day off. Sanchez (or other Starters) is never allowed to go 8 or 9 innings.

baseball has been like that for awhile

Someone remind me why we like Brian Dozier?
Can't wait till Kieboom comes up in September.

So you're ok with his pitching decisions?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Same reason we put up birdfeeders.

no but your critique would be the same for every other manager if thats your issue. Because they all do it. They dont like having pitchers go thru lineups more the 3 times max.

[Slateman]

Strickland gave up a run? DFA

Same reason we put up birdfeeders.

Right, he can pick a seed.

Hopefully we’re back on track.

That was a big win. A win by Ross tomorrow would have us back on a roll but winning the series with Fedde and Ross starting is huge.
