Surely he can’t be that stubborn.

If you look at last night in an isolated way, yes, pitching let us down. We scored 7 runs and gave up 8. 7 should win.
We struck out 16 times. We left 7 risp. We can’t execute a gd bunt and waste a leadoff double in extra innings. Yes, pitching blew a 3 run lead. They’ve also been pitching under stress for 25 games now. That will wear on you.
We have only won two games scoring more than 4 runs. We are not going to win any slug fests. I doubt we could win a sorority house pillow fight.
I don't disagree with you comments, other than we know who we are now with the bats. That stress that you are talking about has been and will continue to be the only way we are going to win this season. The runs were enough to close this game out against a team that is hitting .255, has 42 errors and 5.50 ERA. We can't win any other way. Our HC should know this by now and he left Williams in entirely too long. This one is on Rob.
In Robe’s defense... Williams was throwing strikes and locating both the fastball and offspeed. Often times a coach comes with a quick hook when a pitcher isn’t locating his stuff, but if he’s giving up a few hits and locating his stuff, will let the pitcher try to work through it. Williams was allowed to work through his jam and just couldn’t get any outs when he needed them.
