[andyb]

Good thing that Herrera is so weird and uncoachable. Still can't believe the rookie manager sat his best returning player on opening day to send some sort of stupid message and explained it away because of analytics.

[EastFallowfield]

Tense play there watching Kingery deal with that one.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Lots of similarities between these two teams - poor defense, shaky bullpen, several players battling near or below the Mendoza line.

[bkeich]

I guess no matter how successful he is, Ramos will not be given a chance to close. I wonder who is about to come out, to be fair, there just arent many good options. I think I would ride the hot hand and have saved Ramos for the 9th, but the fact that he was used in a close game is probably good enough.
