Topper wtf

Terrible play off of the wall

This is partially on Dombrowski building one of the worst bullpen’s imaginable.

Honestly part of me really hopes they just collapse so Dave doesn’t make a dumb Fing trade to try and save his job that bites us in the ass down the road. That a-hole deserves to be fired.

I know the coldest winter Mark Twain ever experienced as a summer in San Francisco, but I still can't believe how many people are wearing thick jackets in July at the height of summer. I would hate to play in or live in a city where it was perpetually April.

I was out there during Christmas several years ago and it was like 70 degrees.

This is 1000% on the Manager.

You don't put Romano in that situation.

San Fran and Oracle is right on the water in the Pacific. It was 50 with 18mph winds tonight. And sitting down not moving around can be pretty chilly as the night comes in.

I see it with my own eyes, and I know San Francisco has different weather than the rest of the country, but it is still a little surreal to see pretty cold weather in July.

I was in San Francisco in October 2010 for an Eagles game, and it was pretty warm. I would've even done a beach day, if not for knowing that all the water surrounding San Francisco is frigid all year.

Manager and Dave. Frankly asking Romano to get 5 outs is ridiculous. I’d still went Ross over Romano for the 9th. The other issue is Dave built a crap bullpen. I said it during the off-season that if you’re gonna allow Hoffman and Estevez to walk away, then you have to go out in free agency and get one definite reliable reliever. You can sign Romano. hope he and Alvarado bounces back but you can’t assume or just blindly hope they do. Had to add a proven reliable RP with them. If you get both of them at their best, that’s great cause the bullpen is a strength of 5 arms. but you still should’ve went out and had at least added one reliable reliever and there were guys. They just didn’t. They were just hoping Ross, Romano and Alvarado would all pan out. It was a dumb plan.

I hate that we have to watch this team not win anything because they refused to build a bullpen

Don’t forget acquiring a right handed power hitter in the middle of the lineup for the last 2.5 years

Man that one hurt. You can see it all unfold in front of you and you know it’s coming but your manager refuses to make a change to try and win the game. It’s unacceptable. I would’ve been fine if Ross was out there but not Romano. Everyone knew this would happen. It’s a shame

For me personally, not nearly as egregious as just neglecting the bullpen entirely. You don't win ish in this league without good pitching

Idk the fact Bohm and Castellanos are your two options for cleanup is an issue. The offense is significantly better having that true cleanup hitter. Castellanos on pace for 19 and Bohm 15 homers. Teams in the playoffs will pitch around Harper and schwarber to get to them cause they’ll tip their cap if those guys beat them. Then after them the bottom of the lineup is dreadful. It also Helps the bullpen as you aren’t running guys like Hoffman, Kerkering, strahm, estevez and others into the ground being constantly in close games. Kerkering couldn’t go tonight because last night the offense was god awful with chances to bust that game open Multiple times. Phillies offense does their job last night might not have needed Kerkering

Tbh choosing between Ross and Romano is essentially just choosing between having your left leg or your right leg be broken. Ross in his last 7 appearances has given up a run in 5. He’s given up 3 or more in 3 of the 7. Issue is it came down to Ross, Romano or hoping a young inexperienced Seth Johnson could get the job done. Frankly they’d never choose Johnson in that situation but i rather see if he can sink or swim knowing Ross and Romano are Fing awful

Bullpen saved!!!
