Home plate umpire wanted to go home I guess. Still no excuse for the lack of offense and not getting runners in though
need to know who let cueto use 36
Wash was on MLB network this morning saying he’s never really going to argue with umps over bad calls, which I think is BS. Managers should have their players backs (I think why Tim Laker had to tonight at least)
Hypothetical-but-not-question: how many at bats do you continue to spend on kavadas?
I kind of am of two minds here. May as well let him figure it out because it’s not like his bat is single handedly losing us games when as a team we can’t get runs across the plate.
On the other hand, watching him is just frustrating as hell.
After the 1st inning it seemed like Cueto is just cooked but had a good enough showing that he sticks around throughout September.
Bats are dead as usual though.
Wait it’s over already?
Gametime was 2 hours 4 minutes, at least the pain didn’t last as long tonight
Sheesh short game
