    Dansby needs to ride the pine for a few. I can't fathom how you take a ball like that in the 9th in a one run game. No excuse.

    Could've done without seeing that ump designated drive Wade Davis home.

    When the ump is calling crap inconsistent strikes, it changes a players at bat. He made them swing at things because they didn’t know what would be called a strike I’d it was close.

    Dansby blew this one though. Not sure what he was thinking. Oh well...he’s been great out there.

    Throwing Minter in a 4 run game two nights ago looming large.

    Regardless - we didn't play that well tonight. Had a chance to steal one but wasn't able to

    Look...it was an awful play on the part of Swanson but Brach still has to pitch. He walked Parra and then slobbed it up after striking out Desmond...

    He pitched well enough to get 3 outs against a fantastic offense. He just didn't pitch well enough to get 4. This is all on Dansby. It was as dumb, sloppy, and lazy a play as I've ever seen from him.

    Culberson should start tomorrow.

    Seriously. Dansby isn't good enough at the plate to make mental mistakes like that.

    Culberson fangraphs def value = -5.1
    Swanson fangraphs def value = 7.5

    It was a bad play, but come on mane

    Culberson WAR- 1.1
    Dansby WAR- 1.0

    Dansby is a good defender but he's way too bad of a hitter to make those kind of mistakes. It was a sloppy, half assed play. He needs to sit a game or two at least.

    I'll just disagree. Sitting Swanson hurts our pitching. He certainly has his offensive struggles; but prior to the error, he did get his 3rd go ahead rbi hit this week.

    My vote would be for the team. You just can't gag away games like this in a tight pennant race.

    I was about to post I hope we don't look back and this costs us the East. The game in Chicago that shouldn't have been played, the Brewers game last weekend, tonight these games start to add up!

    At the end of the day, they’re just losses and they happen to every team.

    After sleeping that one off, I have a positive take- yes, we blew one with Dansby’s error. But that is baseball. Those things even out over 162 games. However the Julio looked great- again. I also really like what Snit had to say about pen usage and this marathon stretch we are on. Basically- if you didn’t see it- we can’t win em all and can’t afford to burn pitchers in every game. He is clearly looking at this as a war and sometimes we will lose battles. Further, offense hit a bunch of balls hard and got babipd. I am good with that.
