Gonna get beat by a team that hit 5 home runs

Lost to a team that made 3 errors because they gave up 5 homeruns. Not good!

Can we also quit bitching about Moniak’s playing time.  

Can we start bitching about Wash sticking with Soriano when he was very hittable?

Least ya'll didn't lose watching your closer walk 4 batters in a row for a walk off walk. 

I missed that? Damn.

Maybe it's just me, but the issue has been Aaron Hick's playing time.

[TroutField]

Washington with all the “we are going to rundown the west” bullshit pre game and the goes onto mismanage the game and lose. 
 

squeeze bunt with Moniak up to put him in the hole 0-2 was so stupid with a hitter with so much swing and miss. Forcing the issue with Soriano and leaving him out for THREE innings in which he gave up runs in each inning and had no feel for his breaking stuff. 
 

that was probably the worst managed game since Maddon walked in a run.

They’ll be fine.  But I’m not sure why Washington was forcing the issue tonight with Soriano. 

Fine as in 70-92?

I skipped watching Liga MX for this?

[Slegnaac]

Soriano allowed the rest of the Bullpen to stay rested for games 2 and 3.

I'm fucking angry but I simply cannot get angry at O'Hoppe. I love him and he must be protected at all costs.

It's  simply too cold for Canning

You may not be wrong or at least on to something.  Canning's career ERA in March/April is 6.70.  Dude has always been awful out of the gate.

I mean, how can you be or get mad at a dude who's very name makes you think about bunnies and rainbows and shit.

A reality check, facing a good team again. But most of the game is still ahead. 

Sweeping a Tier 6 team gave some delusions of grandeur.

There’s no such thing as a tier 6 team. How many of your tiers make the playoffs? So far it’s 6.

Tier 1 and Tier 2 make the playoffs.

Tier 3 is .500 +/- 3-5 games

Tier 4 is @ 70 -76 win team

Tier 5 is a Tier 4 team trending down

Tier 6 is Under 70 wins.
