The record the Ms would be sporting right now if we actually had a manager with a brain -- I can only imagine.

Or a GM that would just accept that Refsnizzle is awful, and just DFA the guy already. It's insane that this guy is still on the team.

Forgot to mention Canzone was benched for Refsnyder.
Just when you think the team is turning a corner. It's not a serious team. Nobody is held accountable. God I wish we had a Mike McDonald type manager.

Tough loss to be sure. Broke the streak of series wins as well. :(

Munoz seems to always look wild when he gets more than a couple of days rest. He needs to work eery 2-3 days, regardless of whether it's a save situation.

Detroit was in revenge mode for the ALDS.

Castillo was actually pretty decent, though he is still needing too many pitches to get through 5.2 innings like today.

You guys bitched for months about pinch hitting for Raley. Now they are not pulling him, and he pretty much sucks against lefties. 🤷‍♂️

Two brainfarts on the bases blows any hope to extend the lead in the top of the 9th . Can't pinch run for Naylz top 9 because we're thin on infielders for bottom 9. He's our smartest baserunner and he got caught today.

Baseball sucks sometimes.

That was a ugly loss, 9th inning blues on offense and defense.

The top of the 9th was a joke

OUTsnyder stranded runners on 1st and 3rd to end an inning

Muñoz needs to go join Cal for a bit in Everett in order to get his mind right.

Including today he has 15 AB's on the entire season against lefties. Perhaps it would help if he got more than 1 or 2 random AB's vs lefties every once in awhile?

But I think the bigger issue is who they are pinch hitting him for, and also the fact that once you've pulled him for Refsnizzle, you're stuck with a near certain out in that spot for the rest of the game regardless of whether the next pitcher is a lefty or a righty.

Which is kinda what Wilson seems to be doing, taking each situation as it comes.

M's management are a bunch of idiots. It takes them forever to just admit every single year that the washed up dude DiBozo pulled from the trash bin absolutely sucks. They wait & wait & wait until optimal damage is done before they finally cut the cord.

My god, Dan just CONTINUES to make stupid decisions. There is NO EXCUSE for him to keep putting Munoz in the closer role. FFS
