at the same time tho Casey could have come in, done his thing, and later in the game when a save opportunity arises, we're forced to bring in Lincoln. If Lincoln blows the save, everyone talks about how horribly Gibby managed his pen
BTW im not saying the umpires were the sole reason we lost, and Im not taking any blame of poor execution from guys like Lincoln. But if one is evaluating the umpires on their performance tonight, and frankly all series, theyve been terrible
Clearly the story of this one. Inconsistent all game, what is going on? Im not into conspiracy theories but it seemed awfully one-sided tonight. Is this karma for Bautista complaining so much early on?
obviously not, but you dont go in with the mindset your pitcher will definitely give up a run. You dont use your closer as the away team before you need to, regardless of the situation
