Bananarchy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ May 23, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) Albers is the biggest mental midget on the team Does Ventura count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 23, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thank god that's over. Went from a complete blow out if we would have executed to having to put David Robertson in for a four-out save situation and wipe him out the second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip people 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
