So glad Tony took out Vaughn instead of Leury. Get the benefit of his clutch hitting.

Just makes no sense, and he did that really dumb thing again where he pulled one of the outfielders for Hamilton and instead of putting Engel in RF he put him in LF.

Take Vaughn bat out of the game, keep your worst defensive outfielder in right field instead of left and Leury hits again. lol

Engel, Goodwin, Hamilton, Garcia, etc. 

Leury has a 90 wRC+ this year and has averaged an 89 since 2017.  The other three guys have combined for roughly the same amount of plate appearances as Andrew Vaugh, so doubtful they’d be able to inflate our team wRC+ all that much anyways.  Regardless, Goodwin is at 106 this year vs. a career 102, while Hamilton is at 72 vs. a career 67.  Engel has greatly out-produced his career numbers, but it’s been 79 PA’s.  Basically, you just make stuff to fuel your pessimism.

It’s seems like this road trip has been going on forever.

It's only been 6 games.

Honestly, the Twins series felt like this too. They either lose or they make us sweat for several innings while the offense dicks around with their thumbs up their asses for several innings, only to do just enough to squeak out a win.

Yep...might as well bunt if that is going to be his approach!

Agree a bunt would have been better.  Our “stars” in this game TA, Abreu, and Moncada have been a bust a bust in this game.  Taking our best hitter currently Vaughn out may have cost us this game.  Hamilton hitting in Vaughn spot is a major downgrade.

Blowing a lead and potentially blowing the third series in a row, the 2nd against one of the worst teams in the league and Cleveland winning as icing on the cake. 

 

Worst case scenario is up 5 after Sunday.  Just can't get swept this weekend.
