neither manager impressed.

substitutions were without thought ... random based on a pre-written script. Made a farce of the game.

baseball fans don’t care about that game. Except for me.

What was the worst substitution of all?

Usually I watch it. I DVRed it. Including over an hour of pregame shite unfortunately.

I missed the Celebrity Softball game, oh noes.

Worst substitution? I was gonna say not letting Rizzo hit with 2 men on. Rizzo is hitting lefties lately. But Tulo is hitting almost GD .400 against lefties, best of anyone. So..... No that’s it, Rizzo was gonna hit a 3 run jack and be the MVP. Sinker? What do you mean Britton doesn’t give up fly balls? Home run.

I don’t like Ned Yost. I liked the hats.

Did Crawford get high fived for that sac-fly in the 9th? I hope not.

MlbCommishPete R-CT, Rose? Lift ban? Hall? Yay or nay?

I didn’t watch the game, so there may have been even more egregious examples of managerial incompetence, but the mere thought of pinch running for Mike Trout with Brock Holt so that (i) there is less speed and baserunning ability on the bases, (ii) there is worse defense in both leftfield and centerfield and (iii) there is an easier (lefty) out for Chapman in the ninth just caused my IQ to drop 80 points and temporarily be an even match for Ned Yost.
