Valera .316 OBP vs. Grichuk .285.

 

Don't like either option, tbh.

[Spanky99]

sigh

 

Well I guess we gotta sweep the Os and hope Boston and Seattle choke

 

A sweep and a loss from each team isn't a stretch. We got this!!!

[LeafsSuck1967]

O's will be a trap series. Just get to 90 wins and be happy that Cucktoyo will be canned.

[King]

Valera .316 OBP vs. Grichuk .285.

Gurriel is on the bench lol

 

is he hurt right now?

[Inklink]

What a letdown

 

Now they have to rely even more on two teams to falter.

[Omar]

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[thatoneguy]

I'm wondering if Gurriel's hand really isn't ready at all. He did not look good in this series.

[Daniel Labude]

Gurriel is on the bench lol

 

is he hurt right now?

 

Yes

[King]

Like, even Jansen would have been a better option than Valera

[Spanky99]

Ha ha, why not? I’m glad these losers won’t be in the playoffs. It would be embarrassing.

 

Wow!

[thatoneguy]

Pathetic. I hope the Orioles crush them tomorrow. Put them out of their misery.

 

f*** off.

[Effit]

Pain

When is the public hanging for Grichuk?

[Stangstag]

Gurriel is on the bench lol

 

is he hurt right now?

 

Yes I think he’s sore or something

[thatoneguy]

Team has been treading water since the series at the Trop... of course.

[glory]

It was a Valera strikeout vs. a Grichuk doubleplay,. Take your pick.

 

Pinch hitting for Grichuk was fine but using Valera? I guess it’s on brand for Charlie though.

[Stangstag]

Like, even Jansen would have been a better option than Valera

 

That’s what I was thinking too

Tampa lives rent free in this team's heads.

[BCZ]

6th inning of the most important game of the season and Montardo leaves the starter in after already giving up 2 homeruns in a walk in that inning... I don't care if he wins the Cy Young that s*** is galactically dumb.

Its not the worst move honestly. Probably rather lose with Ray then someone like Pearson or Richards

3rd time through the order is questionable.

[King]

Unbelievable that Montoyo used to work for the Rays. The team that knows how to optimize their bench than any other team

 

And he consistently makes dumb f*** pinch hitting decisions or avoids using them altogether

[jerb]

 

Chris Black

@DownToBlack

 

Montoyo going to Valera over Grichuk there is ridiculous.

 

Valera 0-9 lifetime vs 97+ mph

 

He wanted nothing to do with that at bat

[JFD]

He was probably the errand boy

Thru the Order AVG | OPS

1st Time .188 | .609

2nd Time .179 | .550

3rd Time .302 | .936

[thatoneguy]

I find it funny (read: infuriating) that umpshows essentially ended the Blue Jays hot streak in Tampa and gave rise to the Yankees hot streak in Minnesota.

 

You can curse Charlie Dumbtoyo all you want (deservedly so), but when games in a crucial race are taken away from you via umpire incompetence, that f***ing blows even more.

Is that for the season Brownie? If so, holy f***!

Game one in this series, should've been out of the inning on a K, then 3 run dinger. Infuriating indeed.

Reality is every team faces s***** calls every night. They overcome them. We were lucky to win last night (in spite of Bo) due to the missed Springer pop up to shallow left. Good teams just know how to get it done. We are not there.....yet. This manager has definitely hindered our potential. It is a shame he will be pulling the strings in the spring of 2022. More's the pity.

I mean they did in the game immediately after that one with Joe West. A little more difficult to overcome when they are ******** strike 3 calls in the 9th inning.
