    All will be forgiven if it takes another 100 games to lose 10 more.

    But if JV and Javier follow Framber and demand him to be their personal catcher… we’d have come full circle.

    ironically I’ve liked his bat better than Diaz’ inconsistencies this season. Diaz has some god given natural pop… but Caratini has been getting a ton of value with each plate appearance.

    That had to feel good for the team after blowing the 5 run lead and giving one up in extras. Usually you have to score 2 to win in extras and you see why now.

    dammn it feels good to see a gangsta (edit: dang they took away the speakers-jamming icons)
    I'm tempted to sync this gif with We Will Rock You.

    If none of the other top 4 guys available though…

    Hader did look electric (until he got past pitch 30). Umps made him throw more pitches than needed.

    Exactly.

    nobody is right.

    nobody is wrong.

    only in baseball can these things happen simultaneously to both fan bases watching the same game.

    Caratini won the game though. As usual.

    Cool. Make Diaz the 1B on days Caratini catches and we are good to go. Let JLo play there the rest of the time when Diaz catches. That’s a really deep lineup.

    Mariners starting pitching is going to be a problem.

    That would have been an absolutely brutal game to lose, and what a wonderful game to win.

    They are old…. you get the crazy reactions from young teams.
    That seems about right - some times there isn’t a perfect clear cut answer.

    With the Indians having a great record, my guess is their manager wanted to save their closer being available later in the series.

    Tomorrow will be tough for the Astros. Hader isn’t available. Pressly is old and held together by duct tape… JV isn’t 35 anymore, he isn’t giving us 7-8 innings… someone will have to step up.
