Interesting swinging bunt strategy there.

[Fairweather_Crew]

Whew! 😓 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

That’s some small, small ball to tie the game.

[HarryDoyle]

See what happens when you put the ball in play? No wasted leadoff double this time.

[duewizard]

Run is a run no matter how it comes!

[adambr2]

That was a pretty ugly sequence to tie, but we are tied nonetheless.

Yeah, we can get out with a win today...we can forget a lot of this game.

Micro ball

Quinn's only at 82 pitches. Why?

[yourout]

Come on Blue..

[treego14]

Ump is a chump!

[Bulldogboy]

Another questionable called strikeout. Guys gotta at a point stop trusting blue.

[HarveysWBs]

Yeah, cause Gausman needs that call. Thanks blue.

[adambr2]

Pretty generous strike call. That AB might have saved us from a Gausman 8th, though.

[edfunderburk]

Why can our starters only pitch six innings? That frustrates the stew out of me. I honestly don’t understand why you pull a pitcher who has only thrown 85 pitches & allowed one unearned run … especially in a tie game with a taxed bullpen. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Just a terrible strike three call after a good at bat by Vaughn.

[adambr2]

I don’t get the decision to pull Quinn here at all.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Priester gives up one run because Turang air mails one, he is at like 82 pitches or something and we have to go to the pen with a short list of relievers available?

Another in about a thousand reasons to add a challenge system.

[kevinisaname]

It's not like last inning was his fault or Koenig has been so great you need to put him in. I don't get it.

Seems like every game this is the case. I’m ready for next year’s automated ump system. 

[BCF]

Maybe they don’t want to push Quinn coming off an injury?

I did slightly forget about that. I hope that's the reason, because any other one is crazy to me.

[edfunderburk]

I can’t stand the way Murphy manages in game pitching decisions. I seldom if ever agree with him. Otherwise he’s a swell guy with a big personality. I honestly love many things about him … but good grief on pulling effective starters too soon. 

I’m going to watch college football & check back in a bit. I fear we may fall behind late because of his premature removal of Priester. 

Hope I’m completely wrong.
