I hate intentional walks, and I absolutely would have intentionally walked Mookie there.
...aaand it wouldn't have mattered because Freeman got a hit anyway, lol.

What is the rationale for batting Mookie and Freeman back to back?

Remember that stretch where we went with 3 openers and only 2 starters for multiple weeks? This is what happens

I want to change absolutely everything until we're winning every game.

After all, Murphy is just a AAAA pitcher. We haven't drafted pitchers in the first few rounds since Bloom took over, SS after SS and wasted so many 1st and 2nd rounders on position players. Other than Bello, just a lot of average pitching prospects in the league and AA/AAA. This isn’t the argument you seem to think it is…

Blame Murphy all you want. But we've absolutely hung him out to dry the last few outings

88 pitches and counting. Murphy has essentially had a start.

It's a shame the bullpen is so depleted, would have had a decent chance at winning this one

Roberts seems like a pretty terrible manager.

It's a shame the bullpen is so depleted, would have had a decent chance at winning this one Honestly if we're playing the blame game here, the main responsibility for the depleted bullpen is Paxton's. His last 2 starts were draining.

Looks like Brasier is throwing more of a cutter than a slider now

His last 2 starts were draining. back to back 4-day rest starts for him and he's been terrible with short rest, kinda predictable

Cleveland now up on Toronto 6-5, and Minnesota closed to within 5-4 on Texas

It’ll be one thing if Mookie beats up on the Sox. Brasier? Might be a gut punch.
