Still got an at bat coming to us. Never know

[Hootie]

Ned Yost is ****ing awful. I've officially changed my opinion on this ****ing joke of a manager.

In THREE ****ING DAYS WE GET 15 ****ING GUYS WHO CAN GIVE WADE DAVIS A DAY OFF. ****ING MORON.

Ned's WAR the past two weeks is -2.0

Un****ingbelievable

[GoHuge]

Night gents. **** you Ned!

[Three7s]

I don't know who was available tonight, but our bullpen depth isn't good at all. Our big 3 really hides that weakness because we never have to use the middle-inning relievers. It needs to be confronted or this is gonna be a problem if we ever get into a high-scoring game.

That is correct. We had no one but Chen. If you don't like that, then tough.

[ChiefsCountry]

Who else was Ned going to use tonight? I guess Davis but all they had left was Chen.

You don't magically go to full strength with 1 day off.

I think it's time to get Finnegan to KC and send Chen back to Japan.

He's not even warming up, Chen is the final pitcher.

I don't give a flying **** man I'm tired of Yost pre-determining these days off in a ****ing pennant race I've never seen in my life as a fan.

Three ****ing days and we can call up 10 ****ing pitchers...can't get this ****ing loss back though

It's embarrassing

[petegz28]

wow we just flat out shit the ****ing bed in 1 inning

[Bruiser]

Well this game should seal Chen's fate

[Al Bundy]

This isn't the last game Chen is pitching this season. He will be in a few more times.

Not a chance.. Chen is a Ned favorite he will pitch at least 2 more times this year.
