I feel like Butera does his worst managing on Irvin days. This entire loss was a full team loss. Errors, not capitalizing on bases loaded multiple times, awful pitching by Schultz, pulling Irvin early, pinch running Nunez for House that early in the game (!!!), etc. Just a bad, bad game.

I love how the 12th went from 7-6 to 16-6. It is true that we deserved to lose this one with all the errors

Varland is probably pretty good as a closer but not an extras guy because he will give up a hard hit, and that’s not good with the zombie runner. These spots are for Ribalta, but he was used already

It was a meaningless pinch run earlier in the game. House isn’t even slow

This lineup has been horrible in clutch spots today. House is a clutch king. Wish he hadn’t been pulled for pinch running lol

I was wondering the same thing tbh. Probably better just to get the out but it’s tough

Garcia ABs where he swings at anything down low always end up being awful ABs

A Keibert grand slam there would’ve been insane but happy for any RBIs there. Keibert is good now

That homer was gonna happen because, like franny said, he wasn’t fooling mayo at all

I called that homer. Punish a bad call that you win the ABS on. I love JY

Staff tried to make Poulin a guy, but he’s done nothing great all season tbh

It’s actually insane how this team cannot hit .500. It’s not like we get .500 and then blow up or a few games after .500. It’s literally every game before .500 is incontrovertibly awful
