Is it just me? Or does Frank White seem much more intelligent as a manager than Trey Hillman?

6 pitches = 3 runs
some of the luckiest shit i’ve seen
realistically speaking
a replica of an Aviles jersey, only with a different number
A.K.A.:
IT’S JUST A JERSEY, THERE IS NO TIE TO AVILES
if jacobs didn't bungle that was the run still going to score
realistically speaking
So basicaly the difference between a tie and being down 1
great
realistically speaking
how?
The runner that was allowed on base was the 1st out of the double play, so if Jacobs made the play, there wouldnt have been a double play, just a grounder to SS for 1 out.
BOOM! ROASTED!
Runner scored on the play w/ or w/o the error
And a run scores on the groundout to Short w/ or w/o the error
Hence the runs are in w/ or w/o the error.
Its not an excuse jagoff its the way it played out
BOOM! ROASTED!
hey moron
I’m not a sympahizer, re-read it. That and I was on his ass on Fri for not making the play.
I just dont bend things to fit my beliefs,
BOOM! ROASTED!
I'm sure you'd like to bend something Mike Jacobs has
and by that, I mean his dick.

You’re the one calling people a “jagoff” and a “moron.” If you couldn’t see the humor in my response that was intentionally childish to poke fun at your assclownery, you’re as dense as you come off over the Internet.

What the fuck are you talking about now?
assclownery? and you say I come off dense on teh internet?
Lets hear how those runs don’t score then, if you actually have an argument, as opposed to simple childish arguments?

And there's a reliever
because it’s a lot better to allow them to bring out a RHP.. as opposed to doing it where Marte can’t be pulled
IDK what it is
But it just feels like we lost the game after the Jacobs error and the Yankees 3 run inning. Like, these are almost exhibition innings or something, it doesn’t feel like a tense one run game.
Farny being Farny.
Maybe you feel we have zero chance of coming back

Well, the thing is
I don’t think I’m alone… I want to think they have a chance but the crowd is dead silent, the team is having uninspired at-bats and it just feels like a spring training game almost.
