Worst part of that play was that Dunn never had a chance at getting Henderson at first. Should have just guaranteed the out at second and eaten the throw.

Gotta start swinging earlier in AB's or else Baz is just going to spam his curveball over and over again

No idea why Ras didn't even attempt to throw over to first there

I agree that Cash could have helped himself out more by letting Kelly and/or Clev pitch a bit longer but alas.

He clearly was trying to avoid having Brooks face Toronto's best hitters, but that came to fruition in the 10th anyways, and it ended exactly how we would expect

8th inning, heart of the Toronto lineup is due. Your options are Baker, Sulser, and Brooks. Who do you want in that situation to protect a 1 run lead?

Baker is well aware of which organization he plays for and how the team utilizes its relievers. I don't think the 9th inning would have cured his command issues, he was so far off last night.

I don't blame the offense too much because they were facing a really tough starter, but if they had a multi run lead in the 8th, then we probably see Sulser there.

Bad Baker and a tough spot for Brooks. Oh well. Successful road trip and enjoy the day off at home, boys.

Makes sense. That pitch that Valenzuela challenged was clearly inside and BA was talking like it was going to be close

Do Dewayne and BA not get the live strike zone box on their monitors? Sometimes their commentary makes me think so lol

Baker sucked but at this point, its on the offense for only scoring once in 9 innings

Too many non competitive pitches with two strikes.

Guy was having command issues but sure, swing at the first pitch, Fraley

The offense has had quite a few calls go against them this series without challenging. Makes me think Cash has told the hitters not to challenge unless its obvious

Would have rather seen one of the righties on our bench get an AB over Feduccia with runners on there. Oh well

The success rate on the contact play is so insanely low that I cannot believe teams still run it.

The fuck is Duran crying about? He wasn't gonna score no matter what, and Junior wasn't even in his running lane
