that half inning was a very appropriate metaphor for the overall season so far... it looked so promising, i got my hopes up, and then pathetic hitting ripped my heart out yet again
There are no words.... Kinda reminds me of the Robertson implosion in the 2016 campaign (maybe I got the year wrong). Hopefully it doesn't cause a similar tailspin, but that was bleak.
I agree with this for what it’s worth. He calls a good game. Wouldn’t have minded him working the count a bit more - but I understand we aren’t playing him for his offense
Love to see Ruiz execute in a high leverage situation. Hopefully that change up is for real - it really changes his value as a reliever. Smart move to use him here vs the 7-8-9. Has to be Graveman next right?
