ERMAHGERD MERLERNS AT NERTS - 8/4

[HUGG]

Mike Dunn needs to not exist anymore.

[Erick]

Yeah, he kinda sucks.

[Miamarlin21]

Erick, we could have gotten Osvaldo Martinez back. He went unclaimed when he was outrighted a few months ago. Mariñez is doing OK, but we have three of him already.

[HUGG]

We scored 6 runs with this lineup in a Buehrle start and are gonna lose.

come on

[Erick]

The point is they were traded for a manager.

[Bobbob1313]

The idea that we "overpaid" in terms of salary for the manager is kind of silly, I feel.

The Nationals PR staff on twitter is hilariously terrible.

[Erick]

Well, maybe in the sense of the market for managers. I'm not sure what the average salary for a manager is.

Either way, I think they're all overpaid. Most of them are just a bunch of close-minded people who just follow trends. I don't think the team would be any worse if you were making the on-field decisions.

[Bobbob1313]

Well, I'm brilliant, so that's not a fair comparison.

[HUGG]

The #Marlins had Steve Cishek warming at one point in the eighth. Asked why he stuck with Mike Dunn, manager Ozzie Guillen said: “They had two [left-handed] pinch-hitters there I was worried about. I didn’t want [Cishek] to face them. If I bring this kid with the game on the line, I don’t have anybody with a tie game in the ninth.”

holy shit, that's really stupid logic

[Anonymous]

So he left Mike Dunn in there to put the game out of reach. That way Cishek doesn't have to pitch and we lose.

[Erick]

They showed the post-game interview on TV. He tried to name the two left-handed hitters and couldn't even do that.

[Namaste]

The good news, boys:

Season was dead in the water like 2-3 weeks ago.

They could win 4 games the rest of the way and it doesn't mean shit.

Ozzie this, Ozzie that.

Yada. Holler.

[Chewford]

Yay game threads!
