Jake Arrieta is sucking this year. He is looking like the pitcher that we was with the Orioles.

The Nats are managed by one of the alltime great managers.

I am not sure what Farrell's philosophy is on using his closer, but he used kimbrel the right way on Sunday. I thought that he waited one batter too long to go to him. This was one of those games that needed saving in the 8th inning as the game was starting to slip away. Kimbrel has been lights out and got the key punch out with 1 out. We piled on an avalanche of runs in the 9th to put the game out of reach and kimbrel was not needed for the 9th inning so he did not get credited with the save. This just highlights the stupidity of the Save stat, because Kimbrel did save the game when it needed saving. Had the lead slipped away, the Twins would have used its pen differently in the 9th inning and maybe we don't score at all and lose the game. Will Farrell use Kimbrel like this in the future? I have no idea whether he will be consistent with this approach.

Neither was I until we were about 2 weeks into the season.

I blame a juiced baseball.
-
An enigma?
-
The 2 best ERA pitchers face off against each other and 23 runs are scored. You can't figure out this game.
-
You can get him for an injured relief pitcher.

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?

He had 4 strong months out of 6 in 2016 and one of those months was excellent. -
Canon fodder.
-
Big inning puts this one out of reach.
-
Or maybe Hembree would have pitched a second inning and been just fine.
-
No it wasn't. It was a joke about Farrell being a dunce. It didn't relate to any game move at all.. Your bad. I know what I posted and why I posted it. And you criticized the whole board based on your misunderstanding of a single post.

Tough pitch for a called strike on Mauer.
-
Do Jerry and Dave know the number of outs today? You wouldn't think that would happen at the MLB level.
-
Kimbrel needs a punch out here.
-
Did anyone blame Farrell for the dinger or for bringing in Barnes. Find me the post where anyone said that.
-
When it becomes repetitive, it weighs more heavily on the coaching staff.
-
Barnes is a rerun of Craig Hansen.
-
Farrell is in the dugout going through his binders not watching the game looking to find a way to blow this game.
-
Barnes with his specialty-- the HR pitch
-
We need 3 innings from the pen today.
-
All is well that ends well with Sale as he didn't work very hard in the 6th.
-
That wasn't it at all. What entered into my thinking wasthat Sale worked very hard in the 5th -- made a lot of pitches and was right around the hundred mark. The game is coming down to the pens anyway. The extra inning from Sale didn't mean much to me when we need 3 from the pen anyway.
-
We know that, but Sale is also the most valuable piece of property on the roster. I wouldn't have sent him out there at 98 pitches and so many thrown in the 5 th inning. Edit: I was more worried about Sale than the game which is going to come down to the pens anyway.
