Feels like Leiter often struggles too when he's sent in mid inning. Just a feeling idk the numbers

you can tell he isn't sharp almost right away when he's dumping splitters a foot outside.

Ross is so horsefeathers stupid

I can't wait to hear the justification for taking Merryweather out at 14 pitches when you've already let him start a 2nd inning and he's cruising. 

Yeah that’s a weird one for sure.

The justification will obviously be that he wanted Leiter to face the lefties.

[CubinNY]

lots more bad words

[CubinNY]

This one could go on for awhile.

He threw 29 last night would be my guess.

Yeah and the Brewers had a bunch of lefties coming up.  I didn't hate the decision though I can understand why you'd stick with Merryweather as well as he's pitched lately and an off day tomorrow.

[UMFan83]

Also with Merryweather, Leiter and Adbert burned (after the 9th), the options for pen guys after that get scary.

[soccer10k]

Got to take the lead here.

[Michael Busch Light]

Ok gotta score a run here now 

[muntjack]

Is this going bunt-k-pop out?

[profisme]

Stop with the bunting stuff please.

[UMFan83]

Knew the bunt was coming.  One of the few situations where I dont *hate* a bunt  but dont love either with Happ on deck. 

 

Also never having a sacrifice bunt before is concerning

Don't bunt!  If Happ doesn't get the run in, then they walk Bellinger.

[UMFan83]

Wow almost allowed bases loaded 0 outs situation.

 

Come on Happ

I have so little faith in Happ here

[UMFan83]

And Happ can't get the job done.  horsefeathers

[Michael Busch Light]

Of course Happ 

[Andy]

Ugh.

[CubinNY]

[abuck1220]

[Andy]

God I love Cody Bellinger

[Michael Busch Light]

Alright get 3 outs and get the horsefeathers out of here 

[Irrelevant Dude]
