I like O, but given his control issues, I don’t love bringing him in bases loaded. Or, put differently: why not start the inning with Ottavino? Cora’s bullpen management has been curious, at best, recently.

In what world does Martin Perez ever even dream to be in this game? As soon as they saw it was close they should have flown him back to Boston.

Where is Barnacles? Surely you don't use Perez over your "closer".

Does burks make things up? O has 6 pitches ? Ump is straight garbage helping us last two batters though Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away. Umpire shafted Verdugo and Devers on balls in the same location he shafted Hedges. At least he's not bad AND biased imo.

Winning the game should not obscure some bad bullpen management in this one.

Nice job by Otto. Guy deserves credit this season. He can give you acid reflux, but he’s been pretty reliable.

Where would this team be without Ottavino and Whitlock this season? Bloom deserves some credit. Those guys have saved the bullpen all year.

Assume he brought in Perez because of the two lefties, but that's obsolete thinking nowadays, isn't it?

No drama if Whitlock pitched the 10th.

My only guess is that Cora figured that by giving half of the fanbase heart attacks that he killed off a lot of his critics so there will subsequently be fewer of them for the next game.

Looks like Whitlock and ott are the only RP he trust anymore. That does bot speak too high of barnes right now.

We drafted 4th last year and now are 1 game away from 20 games over .500. I’m going to refrain from calling you any names. Bloom deserves ALL the credit!
