  1. Pretty obvious at this point, should have let Tucker have some triple A time. 0-6 and looked terrible doing it

  2. Feels like dozens of our losses have been games like this. Where we had all the opportunities in the world to win but just couldn’t get the big hit.

  3. Excuse my annoyances but that’s embarrassing. Not that you lost but you lost by allowing two bunt in runs in the same inning

  4. If I see one more dork ever say “a bunt doesn’t work in extras because its an out!!! 🤓🤓🤓” im going to tie them up and force them to watch the 10-12 innings of this game clockwork orange style until they make it their life’s mission to burn every single Bill James book in existence

    FUCK

  5. Went to the game. The most interesting thing was the massive fight between a sugar baby and her daddy two rows in front of me. Lotsa cursing and drama.

  6. We are bad a Manfred-ball because we refuse to play Manfred-ball. It is not a coincidence that we have such a bad record in extras.

  7. Easily the most frustrating loss of the season. The fact that we squandered so many opportunities to straight up win the game, we honestly deserved to lose today.

    This loss is squarely on the offense. Yes, defense put the final nail in the coffin, but our defense wouldn’t have been in that position if the offense did its job.

    Thankfully, San Diego is in the lead right now, so it might be a wash. I will be incredibly incensed if Seattle somehow comes back and wins.

  8. Tucker and Bregman had so many opportunities to break the tie. Singleton should have stayed. Even McCormick and Doubon would have done something late in the game.

  9. You can pretty much forget about the 1st or 2nd seed. Seems like they’re content playing in the wild card round..
