Mistakes I saw

1) no feel for framber sucking today from espada, after 4 and getting lucky with 3 GIDP he should have been pulled but like most managers he wanted to get his starter the W and cost us the game

2) Seth Martinez came in with 2 on, really? That was probably our worst reliever last year not named montero, he is terrible

3) Montero picked up where he left off, bomb to the 9 hole, pathetic

4) pinch hit a guy who homered with singleton instead of dubon who hit over .400 this spring, played great last year and went in anyways.

5) wasted hader for nothing down 1

I blame this all on yainer playing he went 3-4 but this is what dusty meant when we'd thank him for Maldonado playing bc it meant we'd win

In all seriousness, I like what espada did with the lineup, tucker and yordan hit lefties. If it was me, Id move yainer up to 5, drop abreu to 6 and Chas to 7. Dubon is honestly a better option at short than Pena at this point as well in terms of a bat.

We're in for a long year, middle relief sucks, yes abreu coming back will help. Pressly was terrible last year, his confidence seems shot now that he's not a closer. Curious did Joe know judge was 4-5 off pressly before letting him face him? Seems unwise then judge doubled

Listened, got pissed and had FODB-deja-vu when Myers got pinched. Seriously stop this stupid shite. I'm not suffering another season of this.

I think with Abreu suspended, he had to try and ride him as long as he could. He needed 6 min out of Framber and couldn’t even get 5.

This is what happens when you don’t do enough in free agency to address the mid relief departures.

See above

This was Dusty like and inexcusable. And at the very least, the one thing Singleton is capable of is giving a good AB and he didn’t even do that.

Re Pressly, I don’t have supreme confidence in him, but I do think he was the best option there other than Hader and it was too early to bring him in. I like what seems to be a trending thing of bringing in the best option based on who is coming up rather than what inning it is. Didn’t work out today but I think it was better for Pressly to face those guys than the new kid. JV and Uriel’s injuries hurt because having France or Blanco would have been nice today.
