Game 151 Thread: Sept 16 vs. Phillies, 7p

Ohtani (1-1, 3.75) vs. Sanchez (13-5, 2.57).

Last night, we lost in extra innings, despite heroics from Emmet Sheehan, Mookie Betts, and Andy Pages, mostly because our bullpen repeatedly failed us and gave up leads in multiple innings.

But the other disaster (and unfortunately, this one could have been avoided) was batting Teoscar Hernandez third in the lineup. Teo, who has been lost for most of the season and basically all of the second half, went 0-for-4 with 2 Ks, and squashed Dodgers rallies in the second, fifth, and seventh innings (making the third and final out in all four of his plate appearances).

I love Teoscar's energy and enthusiasm, his sunflower seed showers, and his unwavering support of teammates. I wouldn't sit him, as we need him to get his swing back. But I sure as hell wouldn't bat him third, either.

Come on, Doc.

all i know is this.....Mookie interviewing Logan Webb for his podcast in the middle of a pennant race doesn't sit well with me at all.

I’m ok with the Mookie podcast.

I’m not ok with Teo flailing up there in the three-hole

What the hell is Teo doing on that fielding? He basically gave Harper that double with his slow fucking speed!!!

This team shoudlnt' be worried about a bye. We should be worried about even getting past the first round of the playoffs.

I see a very disappointing WC series coming.
