Kuhl had the worst game in his ML career. He couldn't throw strikes at all tonight. Hopefully because his turn was delayed by 3 games and he was just off because of that, man we were lucky tonight. Braves played awful defense gave us 4 runs.

<t>Hurdle just gave this game away with Bastardo brought in and just left in while struggling mightily. Boston's manager was managing to win, he left his reliever in for 2 innings. I was shocked when Hurdle pulled Nicasio after one inning. I hope this is Hurdles last year, gets so tired of him givin...

Exactly totally head scratching move. Nicasio is your long guy and for sure Bastardo is a one player reliever, if even that. Hurdle is just awful.
