How much of it is baseball-related?

I'm here to talk about the past.

Please.

It can all be traced back to RyRy.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

A scoreless Embring through the heart of the order -

I did not see that coming.

Prediction:

Pennington gets a hit and Baisley drives him in…Dale does something irrelevant

Bunting is a BAD idea -

Casilla throwing in the bullpen = play for the crooked number

OK that was just ridiculous

Horrible, horrible decision and equally wretched execution.

Probably right after he practices his hitting

He's not a bad bunter, actually

Mendoza, however, is a bad pitcher and we gave him an out for nothing.

Honestly, if you don't think Barton can hit a ground ball

to the right side, he shouldn’t be in the game. That’s what he does when you DON’T need it. Pathetic decision.

His exact words were

“Daric you should bunt so people look foward to us not playing in October”

I usually agree with Geren's moves, strangely

This is in my top 5 worst of the season.
