A trip to the dentist for a root canal or enduring a Hembree appearance...your preference? I would prefer a new procedure called a rectal root canal to Hembree in a close game.

Hembree - given up runs in 5 of his last 8 appearances including 3 HR. Not sure what he is the answer for.

Matt Barnes cannot be this team’s 8th inning guy if they want to win a WS.

So, it’s beginning to look like the first 130 games were a fluke...

We did enough to win this game. Not every game must be a 11-2 in our favor. We have 6 hits, and our pitchers are blowing leads - we are not out of our funk yet.

that happened real quick, I don't think Cora had a lot of options there. it is something that probably only happens 1 out of 100 times.
Game not over...... thrilling come back now in play.

the team has hit the 2nd fewest home runs in the majors and Barnes has given up 0.5 HR / 9 before this game. I call that fluky. Those balls were hit hard. See note below with Barnes giving up 9 runs in last nine innings. Not a fluke.

The fact that we are losing to this sorry ass team is a god damn joke.

I'll say it again- the GM HAD to make a move to improve this bullpen. No, it's not as bad as some make it out to be. But it is shaky enough, thin enough and has too much potential to hold back a team that's been historically good.
I don't care about people telling me this or that tried piece didn't work out. If your acquisition fails, so be it. But to just do nothing and act like it wasn't worth the effort to try to improve on the likes of Velasquez and Hembree is unforgivable.

It really is all about who is hot or not at playoff time, the last few years we were playing well this time of year maybe we can weather the storm and be hot for playoffs for a change...

Matt Barnes cannot be this team’s 8th inning guy if they want to win a WS. Teams win with worse setup guys all the time. Including the 2013 Red Sox. Today was horrible, and he's been bad lately, but let's give him a chance to turn it around, because even with this rough patch his numbers are better than a lot of championship setup men.

Fastball down the middle and X lets it go then chases ball 4 away. What happened to our New approach of swinging at pitches in the zone?

That would be the umpire’s incosistent zone making X swing for ball 4.

Yankees tied their game but yeah no pressure. We get Kopech when we play the White Sox too - saw him live in a AA game about a month ago and he was vile.

We acquired Ian Kinsler instead of getting the much needed bullpen help.
Maybe he will do something for once..
