Down 2-1 at home, CC is the right guy to have here. He’s done well vs Boston and has done well in the playoffs. Instead of getting the shot at closing out the series, we now face an elimination game. This team has shown to be very hard to kill over the past two seasons. Gotta try to push this to Boston

Agreed, just a serious level of mismanagement from the get go. Now, I doubt the warmup time actually mattered, but it shows poor form. The third inning showed an utter lack of preparedness. His first three innings weren’t clean and showed a drop in velocity and location. His fourth inning starts with two runners on and he gets Lance Lynn up? Why get a starter up when you have a shut down pen? It’s not like we are going to burn a guy for game 4 if we use him to bail out Sevy. If he felt we needed to go to a starter, go to the guy at the jump of an inning. And why get Lynn up when the third batter of the inning eats him alive? He couldn’t bring him in vs JBJ because JBJ was something like 6 for 8 off him with 2 jacks. Just piss poor managing. You run Sevy out there in the fourth. He puts two guys on and you pull him for Britton, who kills lefties and also generates a ton of grounders. Then if you have a hankering for Lynn, start him off in the 4th. We likely weren’t going to win either way, but that’s how you leave the 4th down 3-0 and not 10-0. Just criminally out coached.

Just an abject disaster.

Boone will be second guessed forever on this one. Wow, Lynn when you are down 3? Go to a good pen arm and if you have to use Lynn, use him to start next inning.

what a bummer this one became. Definitely need to second guess Boone not going to Green here. No idea why we went Lynn. Just stupid

Get the pen warming

Why are you pitching to him!!!!

Stupid defense. Walk JD now and try and get Bogey.

Get someone up. Sevy needs to stop f***ing around or he will be gone

Eo is getting by on stuff right now. His location is very suspect today. He better buckle down or the second time through won't be as nice for him. Same goes for Sevy, who has looked tentative to say the least

Shocking, Gary rolled over on a breaking ball and hit a ground ball. Haven't seen that 200 times this year

Why is Eo even throwing a fastball. Gary cannot hit a slider. Bounce it and he will swing

That is the Sanchez we know. Swinging at balls in the dirt

There has to be a count of umpire calls overturned. Hernandez is mind numbingly bad

He is out

Just a stupid play from Eo. He had no chance to get him at 2b.

He is manning the bridge. Don't feed him

I don't understand the pitch calling. Vasquez isn't a good hitter. He was blown away by a fastball up and they don't try it again. He throws 99mph. Go up and if he beats you, tip the cap. I get the analytics, but they also have to see what is happening in each at bat.

That is where he needed to go vs Vasquez

Sanchez is calling a stupid game already.

You f***ing moron

Why is he throwing down? He will not hit the high heat!

Go up with the HEAT!!

He literally just blew a fastball by him, looking like a HS kid facing a big leaguer and he goes to the slider??!?!

Vaz was guessing slider there. Go up Sevy, go up
