The Bucs score 4 runs and now Locke is gradually getting the Braves into the game with 3 runs.

Why is he still in the game is my question I just don't understand Hurdle.

And I really don't understand why you would have Hughes up. These are the games I've seen Hurdle to many times give away and this looks like another.

in a tribute to dennis green ,LOCKE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS

More like Hurdle is frustrating....why would you sent Locke back out for the 5th? Went from 4-0 to now down 5-4 against the worst offense in the MLB.



They rightfully gave up on Liriano...it's time to say goodbye to Locke, the next time he's due to start he needs to be DFA and Brault recalled to take his spot.



We're going to give away a 4-0 lead against the worst team in the league because Hurdle can't get over his love for Locke.



I was a little upset on Monday, but I'm furious right now...

Got 2 threads going:



But - WHY did Hurdle allow Locke to stay in this game. Why did Neal or Clint or who ever allow him to start!! This is insane!!



This is beyond FRUSTRATING!!

My point yesterday - you can say Frankie was moved because he's bad. But he was moved solely due to salary - Locke and Vogelsong are worse than Liriano but they're filling 2/5 of the rotation!? ONLY because they are cheap!

I think there were club house issues with Liriano also. I posted in another thread about the stories of uncle Ray being fed up with him being too stubborn to take their advice.



Before I go too crazy about the trade, I want to see what they do with the $17M in the offseason...if it goes to Cole, then it's a win in my book. Harold was looking like Tabata 2.0 and Reese wasn't essential to us with Cervelli and Diaz, plus he as the power of a junior league softballer

I really can't believe I'm wasting my time watching this crap. Hurdle is absolutely the worst. Giving away games is just maddening and makes me want to quit watching.

Hutchison tonight: 7 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 99 pitches, 60 strikes.
