    Kirk Gibson should be fired on the spot

    8-7 D'Bags. Ninth inning. Man on 3rd. Open base. Struggling Putz on the mound. One out. You pitch to Buster goddam Posey instead of setting up a potential double play ball? Are you fvcking kidding me? Baseball 101 moron.

    Then he intentionally walks Pence.

    The stupidity of these fools never ceases to amaze me.

    Bad enough that they blew 7-4 and 8-5 leads the day after they blew a 4-2 lead in LA, but when you have a dunce manager exacerbating the situation....

    I can't believe I just lost that bet. So terrible.

    At the end there you are 3-0 with 1st and 2nd open. It does not matter if you walk the dude!
    Instead, you give the dude two pitches right over the plate. I will take 0-0 all day vs 3-0 I don't care who the hell is at bat. The mindset is much different.

    Baseball is filled with morons. I hate this sport so much. It wasn't even a big bet. Just so stupid. So many terrible decisions in this game.

    Intentionally walking a guy is rarely the answer. Improvement of the bullpen guys is in order.

    When it's Buster Posey in a lineup filled with nobodies in that situation, you absolutely do. He's virtually the only run producer on their entire roster. Plus, like I said, having a runner at first base sets up a potential double play ball to end the inning. Otherwise, virtually anything he puts in play scores the tying run from third.

    Well, that goes without saying. Again, though, walking the guy sets up a potential double play ball -- your only "out" in a man on third and less than 2 outs situation.
