I've begun to lose my optimism.

First and third two outs.....this is probably our last best chance to get in the game

Toronto challenge call at third that Cruz was off the bag.....seems pretty clear he's safe, let's hope so

Looks like a clever move to buy time for the reliever in the BP to get ready.

good managing, used the review to give their lefty time to warm up.

I wonder when we'll see good managing.

I just wonder back when Underwhelming was burning down the house, if Shelton ever once thought, "I've seen this act before, there's two outs, let's try a different direction"

Yeah, we're not used to seeing good managing, kind of went over my head at first

Mine too. Clever managing?! What a concept!

The pitching isn’t good enough to overcome a poor offense, and the offense isn’t good enough to overcome poor pitching. It took me all season but I finally figured out the problem.

But could they ever improve the hitting and pitching enough to overcome the poor defense?
