Have our pitchers ever heard of shutdown innings after we score?

Ironically the only pitcher that threw a shutdown inning today was Quintana

Maddon is like the managerial version of a Joe West or Angel Hernandez who have to be the center of attention.  Maddon wants so bad to influence the outcome of the game and most of the time he's a hot mess.  

It's amazing how many games we can literally look at and say "yep, Maddon lost this one". With Sosh you couldn't do that. Or most managers.

It's asinine.

I have a feeling that is going to change dramatically after this 3 game series.  

Call it a hunch.

Now 5 players hitting .250 or better.

Madden doesn't even turn the page.

No he rips the page and tries to make origami only for it to be a shitty crane that looks like a penis.

Why the fuck do we need a firefighter to open the gate for relief pitchers?

@yk9001?

[tdawg87]

Maddon has "smartest guy in the room" syndrome. He would probably travel to the Dominican, watch a guy play for 2 innings and say "This guy is gonna be a star, trust me." Spend everything you have on him.

And then he flames out in A ball after 8 years.

We all just have to remember Joe's words, "....results, I don't care...."

It's all about what he is seeing. 

Or thinks he is seeing.

Rendon was ripped off!

Cricket sucks. I'd rather listen to crickets fart all night than watch a game of Cricket. 

What's wrong with you?

[Make Angels Great Again]

This shit fucking sucks.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Demons in the outfield.

You don't even understand the rules. 

And you enjoy floating in urine-filled pools while at a baseball game.

[failos]

Good grief

[tdawg87]

I'm blaming Maddon for Trout's injury.

Says the guy who won't attend or play in a charity softball game because you're allergic to grass. Mmmk
