Well, if nothing else, hopefully this is a little wake-up call for Joe that Chapman isn't unhittable and he can't rely on him to get out of every tough 8th inning situation when Rondon is perfectly capable of doing it.

Wow Jake is cruising and starts out up 0-2 to the 8th place hitter with Rondon and Chapman fresh. How could 3 runs have possibly scored there?

Because we lose all the Arrieta starts now.

Chapman should have started the inning. If anyone is new wave enough to do it, it's Joe. So, it will never be done.

 

maybe jake shouldn't have walked a .208 hitter and a .232 hitter

It's almost like the idea that this was going to 'turn this into a 6 inning game' was dumb and not how this works at all.

 

Whatever, I assume the Mariners bullpen is garbage, get 3 here or next inning.

Should have left Rondon in

 

Rondon should have started the 8th and Chapman should have came in when runners were on 1st and 2nd with no outs, but once you put Rondon in and he gets out of a situation where you need a strikeout, you should have left him in to finish the inning (as Chapman coming in cold is probably more likely to give up a hit that puts you behind or throw a wild pitch).

This is on Arrieta and Joe. Why put Arrieta out there with 90 pitches? And Arrieta crapped the bed, especially when one guy was begging to give up an out.

Arrieta starting the inning was fine; he got that hump out but got shafted on the calls. At that point, however, he should have been pulled. Edited by Sammy Sofa

This.

 

It's so easy to forget with all the horsefeathers that happened but Jake just did the wrong thing at a bad time to crappy hitters.
