    How does dusty baker have a job

    Your stud ace pitcher has a no hitter and gives up 1 hit and you yabi him for a lefty....obviously the cubs would counter with almora who mashes leftys.

    This guy is Fukking brain dead

    The world may never know. He's decent, but probably should be doing commentary.

    Lucked out there.

    Max talked about 100 pitches a lot like that was about his limit but even if you take him out I dont get going to a lefty when you should know maddon will pinch hit.

    somebody has to dive for that ball, thats basically the game if it falls and they have three guys standing in a circle watching the ball fall in front of them

    But who is to blame for B Harper batting 2 for 12? This guy gets a boat load of money to do nothing in the playoffs.

    Only 1 hit, but wasnt there others on base, he did walk 3, how many that inning? Dusty knows his players better than us, Cubs were gonna win anyway.

    Commentary!? He can't put together a coherent statement. ANDDDD!! Scherzer is now pissed! He was begging to stay. IDIOT!!

    F*cking your ace isn't a smart idea.

    Nobody else was on base.

    Had walks previous innings.

    Again pulling him alone is not the terrible move its going to a lefty that was dumb.

    0% chance madden allows a lefty lefty matchup

    Not really defending just playing devil's advocate, I did bet Cubs, fell asleep in 2nd inning and woke up in the 7th. Girardi is my fav manager in all of baseball, I dont follow it closely, just like that he yanks pitchers quicker than most when he sees the bs starting.

    Gotcha. Not defending him, just saying, if this is the way he manages it must work, he's in the playoffs every year with multiple teams. I would think a lot of those guys go off of feel sometimes along with their knowledge of players, who knows.

    What do you expect to happen when a team scores 1 run. That's gone be a lost 99% of the time.

    To be fair the pitcher did his job. Got a weak little popup.

    But still makes no sense that late in the game. Have to play it like 1 run and you lose.

    Dusty had a senior moment thinking it was mid July and decided to save max for his start in 5days. He later went on to explain you don’t use your setup and closer in a tie game cuz that’s just silly and not how baseball works.
