Why was Nate Jones not in there?

 

Ramirez and any major league hitter's going to time 10 center-cut pitches over the heart of the plate.

 

Ridiculous.

 

Albers just doesn't have the ability to put away hitters right now.

 

 

 

Now he freaking brings in Nate Jones.

 

And you have to try to throw a breaking pitch if you're Albers. You can't just throw fastball after fastball unless you're Aroldis Chapman.

Great job RV! Now, you're stupid ass plan to "save" the pen has resulted in burning through Albers and your closer, assuming you even hold the lead!

 

FIRE THIS f***ING MORON.

His replacement is sitting on the bench. Would be nice to just go ahead and cut Robin loose

Robin's just the worst. He doesn't have the same excuse he had in Texas, which is the bullpen was tired. He simply didn't use his best guy in another high leverage situation. It's f***ing lazy and hoping for the best.

 

Yep no way anyone can defend that

I am confused here... The bullpen fails and somehow that's Ventura's fault? Get a grip people

 

The bullpen failed because he wanted Duke to get 6 outs. Getting 3 out of him is already more than enough. He's not a long reliever. Robin was hoping to use him for 2 innings to save for relievers in the second game. Win this damn game first. There's no reason you should be looking ahead that far right now.

 

Instead of using his best guy after Duke faltered (Jones), now we have to use Jones in a 1 run game instead of a 3 or 4 run game. And unless we get runs in the bottom half, Robertson now has to pitch the 9th. By trying to save the bullpen, Robin made the situation so much worse.

Robin is an idiot and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it. I'm refraining from going nuts over him however

small crowd or not, the boos should have been deafening when Albers left the field.....

You never boo your own team, no matter what. That's some classless Cubs fans s***

Goes back much further than 1 player failing. Why not pinch hit for Sanchez? Why leave Duke in so long when he has struggled? Why bring in Albers (who has struggled) when Jones has been lights out?
