Can’t hit AAA pitching, can’t make plays on defense, can’t get a starter thru 6 innings, bullpen is absolutely cooked.

I’m tired
2-2 in the bottom of the 2nd.

Four straight batters have reached for Minny against deGrom
This hook is crazy.

God damn how are they getting the rest of the outs tonight
.160 xBA lmfao crazy the carry the ball gets in that stadium
This umpire jumping after swinging K’s always bothers me
That was an incredible catch by Bolte.

He crushed Astros offensively last time these two teams played IIRC. Nice player
100% agreed, was just working through scenarios as the road team in a tied game late and like you previously mentioned none of them are very good.

When Hader had the same miss up in the zone and the pitch count started to elevate is when I started to think about just hoping for a miracle out of someone else so you could get him back sooner.

And who knows, maybe Hader responds well and is available tomorrow and all my teeth gnashing means nothing.
EDLS is on the shelf so it’s even more dire. My only gripe about how he handled the pitching, is not having a hard cap at 30-35 pitches for Hader. Of course it’s a big win if you get it, but not at the cost of losing Hader for 2+ days. If it looked like it was trending wrong hoping for a miracle out of one of the shite bags available would have been tolerable, I think to me at least.

OR, push Abreu for 2 and get you through 9 and hope Hader can hold up in the 10th. But then if BA gives it up you also look like a moron.

100% in agreement with LSUGrad on the handling of the position players in the 10th. None of them are good options but in a tied game on the road I lean towards defense and having those guys still in the lineup in the likely scenario it’s still tied later

I get the urgency of all of it, the sooner you clinch the quicker you can make the call to hold Hunter. Brown will have to go tomorrow which puts him on full rest to start game 2 if you get there. The roster just leaves no room for error. Chandler has a piece about how it’s so top heavy you are asking for Herculean results out of the top 4-5 guys every night and when they don’t have it it’s a catastrophe.

All in all, as much as I despise Joe the roster and the injuries were the biggest problem last night
They don’t think he can play CF and they desperately need someone that can with Varsho’s stuff. You could run the Trammell’s or Loperfido’s out there, but with the margins as thin as they are I can at least get the glove angle. But at the same time, desperate times and desperate measures give Cam some leash out there.

Loperfido should have been up for Velazquez two weeks ago. He has as good of a chance as hitting a lefty as that fricking bum.
You could comfortably say he’s made a bad decision that ended up being the direct reason the team lost 5 times in the last month and a half.

It’s not even snakebit (even with this horrible roster) where you can go, yea I see the angle, just didn’t work or player didn’t deliver. Just flat out foresight saying “this is a horrible idea” and that manifesting within minutes.
Freaking Varsho has two cysts in his hand he’s been dealing with for three months apparently. I’d be shocked if he played again this year.
What an absolute disaster

frick this roster is so horseshite
This is approaching disaster scenario.

J-Rod beats you and Hader is gonna be down for multiple days
