WHY ARE THEY EVEN PITCHING TO THAT MOTHERFUCKER???!!!!!!!! 

Just why?  Dude has 5 dingers in 3 games?!  He's on fire.  

Homered in 6 straight games, too. Due up 1st top 9. Never want to put the go ahead run on base (especially with no outs) but in this case, it’s probably the best option. If they beat you, so be it. Better than just letting him slug his way out of the park.

Justin Wilson in the 9th? Seriously? Game the fuck over.

HesCalledDyer

Kolten Wong will win it bc I cant stand that fucker. He fucking owns us. ALL the time.

Should've been Cishek to begin with.  If you're going to walk Carpenter anyway, then fuck it.  Why waste the left hander in that spot?

I'm worried about you brother! What's your address so I can have the local police do a wellness check after the game is over.

Haha! I’ll be fine. At this point it’s just hilarious. Carpenter with a full house before the 6th inning was even over.

How about now? Shall we call for that welfare check?

Ya know, if you think about the play that tied the game..... What the fuck was zobrist doing seeing the lineup tonight?  Javy makes that play. That's asinine.  

HesCalledDyer

Javy was ejected. Doesn’t matter anyway, these fucking bums deserve to lose.

HesCalledDyer

Bunch of no-desire, head-up-their-ass, inflated ego motherfuckers.

darwinstheory

This one stings, for sure.

Javy very well does make that play...when he isn't busy having a temper tantrum because a home plate umpire doesn't consult with a 1st base umpire on a swing he didn't even check. This is NOT on Zobrist. Strop, Wilson and Cishek can all feel free to own it.

Ok.  I missed that ejection.  Saw Maddon was tossed, didn't know why.

I fucking hate Strop. Always have. Get rid of that piece of shit.

^^^I should note, that my message was not at all intended to be directed at you, rather, just an annoyed depiction of what happened unnecessarily. 

I think I'm beginning to channel my inner Dyer on the frustrations with this team.

Strop had a bad day. Most consistent reliever we’ve had for the last 5 years. It just that when he’s off, he absolutely implodes. Luckily that’s only about 1 in every 6 or 8 appearances.

Bullpen credited losses are at 11. That’s the lowest in MLB.

Starters need to stop giving up runs early and hitters need to start hitting before the 7th inning. Those two things have been our biggest banes all season.  60% of our wins shouldn’t be of the come-from-behind fashion. That luck’s gonna run out when there are nothing but good teams left.

^ Never seen a reliever give up as many bombs as Strop. Add the cocked hat and it’s a lot easier to dislike him. 

HesCalledDyer

19 HR in 342 appearances over 6 seasons.

For comparison, Hector Rondon gave up 30 in 296 games over 5 years.
Justin Grimm - 25/263/5
James Russell - 41/365/6

bbiggs

The common denominator is all of those guys sucked. 

bbiggs

Strop gives up runs when it hurts the most. He’s just very unreliable in my opinion. 

HesCalledDyer

UN. FUCKING. BELIEVABLE!!!!


Why can’t these fucking losers EVER get thru the first god damn inning without giving up runs????!!!!

Jesus fucking Christ!!!!!

Gtilley8

It's getting a little ridiculous.  At this point, it's all in their approach and their head.  The starters are walking guys like Rondon with a 1 run lead in the 9th.  It's pathetic.
