This pitcher for the A's (Jordan Weems) looks like he's headed to a Guns N' Roses concert.
...or belongs in a GNR tribute band .

First and maybe the only time you saw Derek Bell without a big smile on his face.
Man, I can’t stand this opener crap. I get doing it in a meaningless regular season game when situations dictate it such as you need an emergency starter and don’t have one that day. To actually plan a playoff game around this is unbelievable to me. This strategy doesn’t work and essentially you’re just giving a game away. Again, regular season, who cares but doing it in a playoff game? I can’t believe managers are doing this and not getting raked over the coals for it. Forfeiting playoffs games should be a fireable offense.And just like clockwork, the Rays pitching destroys the Yankees. Aaron Boone has the largest payroll in the majors, but may be the worst manager in the AL. His "experiment" of starting Devi for one inning and then going with Happ blew up in his face. And if A.J. has any more complaints about why they removed him from the rotation for a while this season, I think he should have answered that question with his putrid performance. I have a feeling tonight is going to be even worse with Morton starting.

Get rid of Sanchez, Tanaka, and trade one of Stanton or Judge for pitching. Hopefully Sevy and Germaine can come back next year.
Kevin Cash is a moron. He used his suicidal “opener” strategy yesterday, predictably lost the game and before today’s game was complaining about how taxed his bullpen is. Houston lighting up that bullpen today. I didn’t think it was possible for me to root for the Astros but I’d sure love to see Tampa punished for their stupidity.

Not with the Astros benefitting. No.
You’re right. Neither team deserves to win and you can throw the Braves into that mix too. Snitker starts the rookie Minter last night. He strikes out 7 batters through 3 innings, gets pulled with a 2-0 lead and then the Dodgers score 7 on the braves bullpen. Another brilliant managerial decision. Whatever happened to riding a hot pitcher until he’s got nothing left and in the process, saving your bullpen a little. That kid wasn’t tired after 3 innings. I’ve been watching MLB since the seventies and I’ve never seen such universally bad managing.Neither team deserves to win anything.
Fairbanks isn't going to pitch 4-5 innings, though.Should have kept Snell in longer today?
Fairbanks will shut them down next game.
