Martin getting hurt contributed of course.
leaving MM in to face a lefty, only to move to the LHP that same inning? outrageously stupid.

You can call me crazy but we should start tomorrow Billy Hamilton.
Jackson was the right move. Gotta go with the righty vs their best RH hitters.
I do think he made a mistake keeping Melancon out there, so I can see the complaint there.
Cards manager made some big mistakes too, but got away with them.
Bottom line is that if Melancon is going to suck this series then we are in trouble.
thank you weso1!
Oh boy... knew this was coming.

Fowler has no respect for that little noodle arm out in RF. a lot of RF make that throw

Should have been more urgency to have Tomlin-Newk warming up while Jackson was out there considering Jackson's poor last few months.
Jackson should not have been allowed to face Wong.
It's debatable on if Newk should of been brought in aagainst Carpenter. But when Wong came up in the 9th, Melancon was already at 23-25 pitches. Newk was warm and ready to go (or should have been). Instead a gassed MM gives up a double to Wong.
Forever Fredi
The guy who was on base 4 times today and made great defensive plays has turned into the goat because his brain turned off for 3 seconds.
Makes sense.
I think all this is avoided if Jackson doesn’t make the roster over Teheran...At a minimum he comes in for a couple after Dallas’ early exit.
Love how they are focusing on Acuna not running out a double, but they won't dare say how their manager botched his bullpen usage big time in the last two innings.

They should sell tourist packages to Atlanta where one of the experiences is beating the braves in the playoffs

Again, I don't think it really matters because Acuña obviously isn't a guy who learns from his mistakes nor does he respond to correction. He doesn't think anyone can tell him how to play and, at this point, I doubt he ever changes. If you want his talent in the lineup, you have to accept his childish antics even if it costs you some wins.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
