The way I see it, the two things which got A LOT of fans acting over the top are:
1. Tony putting Veillon in to pitch (resulting in a disaster)
2. Getting swept by a Southland team
HUGE bonus reason to bítch: the Southland team who swept us is coached by our former assistant. An assistant who apparently was the reason for a lot (if not all) of our success over the last decade.
Had Batty or Stone closed out game 1 for a win, Veillon never goes to the mound and we don't get swept. The season is currently still a mess, but the torches and pitchforks would have remained in the barn.
Had Veillon closed out the game for the win, Tony is f'n genius and we don't get swept. Thanks Tony.
