    This loss will be on Cora, pure and simple. Horrible decision to leave ERod out there. Or even to send him out to pitch the 7th.

    This points out the problem with the waste matter out in the pen. Can't bring Workman or Hembree as they are totally unreliable unless you hand them a clean inning. Forced to Barnes who is gassed.

    The K of Arenado was one of the few important ones in this series so far.

    Barnes pitches are all over the lot. Very little evidence of command/control. I guess it keeps the batters off balance. Good for Matt. This is a good example of your "closer" used in a high leverage situation , in mid game.

    I expect numerous comments tomorrow about how that decision could have only come from Harold Nerdwell in the analytics department. Cora had nothing to do with it...

    Love him or hate him, Barnes is the best thing in this BP. Not a BP to give one much hope of reaching the PO's.

    And the Rockies have a runner in second base.

    Hardly. Game is now tied.

    That was a heck of a 3-1 curve when Barnes was having difficulty throwing the pitch. Credit Vaz with pulling Barnes butt out of the fire calling for two straight curves and Bud Black for sending the runner.

    With a runner on 3rd and no outs I would regard striking out the batter as important. What planet are you from?

    Perhaps, but it is stupid to manage as though your only choices are to keep a tired starter in or to bring in a guy who pitched two innings last night.

    This is on Cora.
