BB G1 Final: LA 8, UTA 9

[Alumnus]

The outcome will actually help Gunner. Taking a risk on the final score of one game in your stars return is a long-term decision as we get closer to the postseason.

Or 1 game bumping you from 6 to 7th and now you have to play an extra game in the Play-in round

We’ll take this series but a brutal loss last night.

I've defended Tony all year, but leaving Gunner out there was Bush League.

Not sure I agree with that but ok. I’m sure he had a plan in order to win the series. And to be quiet honest I’d take Gunner at 60% over the rest of the bullpen in that situation strictly because of the pressure issue. We had already used Armstrong and Lamount. Again, we failed to turn not one but two double plays that would of sealed the deal. He made the pitch when he needed to. The defense didn’t get it done.

I am with lifetimecajun, Gunner made the pitches he needed to, we just couldn’t quite make the plays defensively. It’s a tough and confusing loss, but I don’t blame Robe for sticking with Gunner. We just need to defense to make those plays to seal the deal.

I put Gunner in the camp of Hunter Moody, if he is 50% healthy or better, I’ll take him over anyone else. That’s not a knock on our bullpen, that’s a compliment to Gunners proven ability over the last few years.

This and especially when your pitcher does not have all his best stuff, the defense needs to step up. They booted this game.

Let the pitcher off the hook after that 8th inning and blame the defense for the lost after saying Leger didn't have is best stuff. Cantrell lost the game...well la-de-da..........

No pitcher should ever have to get 9 outs to finish a game after 1 out in the 8th. Call it how you see it, I called it like it was. And it was not just Cantrelle, he had plenty help in that respect on the left side of the infield.
