Burnes was crap period.    Screw him

I agree but it doesn't excuse this offense blowing tons of chances to score more runs.

[willie key]

Williams is all rusty too because he’s hardly pitched.     This has just been an epic fail on all fronts

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I am zero percent bothered by displays of emotion after getting a big K.

[SeaBass]

I have had almost no hope since that Taylor lazer shot was snagged by Longoria but it's somehow been worse watching this lineup absolutely stink at having competitive at bats. Then Winker shows up and I just think, of course they put him on the playoff roster, how else can they just give an at bat away?

[jason21nl]

I know Rowdy wasn’t doing much of anything but give me him every day of the week over Winker.

I can imagine what would happen if someone did that to a Pedro Martinez team.

The game has changed.  And also, putting guys on for free is dumb anyway, but you want to give a team extra base runners when we already can’t outscore anyone?

Burnes was crap.   Period

Counsell burning Devin's arm out in a loss is a cherry on top here.

There is an 80% chance Winker goes on the DL tomorrow with a back strain and we get Mitchell back.

Counsell will probably start him in right field tomorrow.

I’d use Williams here.  It’s a three game set and a one-run deficit.  Can you imagine the gnashing of teeth if he didn’t?

He needs to fricking pitch.   As you can see.

I would too. We're one swing away.

[brewers888]

He should have pitched on Saturday.

He....did?

[RobertCrawley]

I wish William would go out and talk to Devin.

Makes absolutely zero sense to me 

[Nola Beery]

I have a busy early morning tomorrow. Why am I still watching thid!?

[adambr2]

I mean I'm not saying we shouldn't use him. Just that it's going to hurt when he throws 30 pitches and we lose anyway. 

[yourout]

Speaking of dumb baseball.

[HarveysWBs]

Heck of a throw.  Run into your own outs, DBacks.

[willie key]

How quiet is in there

Councell is in panic mode.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I don't if I even want to think about it, but the DBacks have blown some massive scoring chances tonight too.

I really, really thought it was going to take more than 4 runs to win this game. Neither team has really been great at capitalizing, and both have run into multiple outs.

Pitching your closer in a 1 run game in the playoffs to give yourself a chance at a game 1 win makes no sense?

what are we even talking about.
