That's just bad management. If you thought Stripling couldn't go in game 2 then he shouldn't have been starting.

Or at the very least you probably shouldn't burn Thornton in game 1. Because even granting that Thornton sucks, he's one of the few guys in the pen capable of giving you multiple innings. Because instead here we're going to through the last 5 innings probably using 3-4 pitchers.

I’m still pissed that we lost game 1 but we can still salvage this by winning game 2 as Boston and the Yankees lost.

A win in game 2, means we are 2.5 GBs of the 2nd WC (Boston) and 0.5 GBs of the Yankees.

Hopefully Stripling is ok. As soon as he won the #5 spot (in my mind) over Matz, Stripling gets pulled from the game ofc... He's our 5th best starting option IMO.
 
Full disclosure that I think "the closer" is an overrated role and that save situations as a stat that people care about and track is usually silly at best and damaging to useful bullpen deployment at worst. But with that out of the way:

Yeah, why not use arguably our best reliever in a non-save situation 4-run lead in the last half inning. I sure hope tomorrow is a blowout one way or another and there's not a situation he might be needed.

I'd also like to see Kirk play a bit more even if it means he gets some more games at DH. He's way to good of a hitter to have on the bench he is a career .857 ops hitter. Why not rotate DH through catcher just as much as outfield? Kirk is a better hitter then Grich, Gurriel and Dickerson.
 
Stupid Sportsnet showing tennis. I'll never buy another channel from Rogers again though since they refuse to stop charging me for channels I don't have. It's better to just not order any more from them.

What's with all the oblique injuries? Are these guys doing too many sit ups or something? So much for our state of the art training facility.

Espinal is such a better fielder then Biggio

Biggio has a chance to be a much better OBP guy though. Gotta figure he's just going through his sophomore slump, so we can't give up on him yet. Even Vladdy had one (for the most part).

That was a lot more butt-clenching than it needed to be.

On the bright side, you're gonna have buns of steel by the time the season is finished.

I haven't had that issue with SN but one thing that pisses the hell out of me how hard it is sometimes to watch on my phone.
It takes 5-6 attempts sometimes or logging off and back on several times. Super annoying considering what I pay monthly.

‘The game, like many others this year and every year, was on Sportsnet One. There are simply some events (NHL playoffs, Memorial Cup, the National Bank Open [formerly Rogers Cup]) that air on the main regional Sportsnet channels with the Jays moving to Sportsnet One.

Why are you carrying on like this is something new and different?
 
Huh. Not expecting to see a Souls reference here.

Misuse of "carry on". For someone to "carry on" about something, they must repeatedly do it seemingly without end. I very rarely comment about Sportsnet, I don't think I've said anything about it here, nor did I suggest in any way this is somehow an unusual occurrence.

Perfect example of why I don't bother reading replies to my posts anymore. Way too often they're a lot like this one.
