It was long, but at least it was awful.— Greg Prince (@greg_prince) July 30, 2020
Now let’s be fair right off the bat: Games like this are going to happen when you go from 3 and 1/2 months of doing nothing after spring training was interrupted, to having a rushed summer camp and two exhibition games. Games like Wednesday’s 6-5 loss are going to happen.
That said, this was just sloppy, sloppy loss. From Brandon Nimmo’s questionable route on Mitch Moreland’s double to make it 1-1, to Rene Rivera’s horrible stab at a pitch which tagged Jacob deGrom with a wild pitch to make it 2-1, to Justin Wilson’s shaky 8th inning which culminated in a swinging bunt by Moreland which gave the Red Sox a 4-3 lead, and then Luis Rojas leaving Wilson in the game when he clearly didn’t have it (yes, there were bloops and bleeders, but Wilson was pitching his fourth game already and was probably gassed) to face Christian Vazquez and give up a two run single to him to put the game out of reach at 6-3.
I just don't understand all these bringing a reliver in for one batter.
ReplyDeleteIf he did well, why not pitch him the next inning?
Called over managing from someone with no track record.
