There it is. All too familiar an occurrence.

JD with a chance to be a hero.

JD comes through with a wounded duck of a flare to shallow RF. Now it goes to Nido with the tying run on 3rd.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's a bloop single for the King of Whatever, JD Davis.



Now it's 1st and 3rd for Nido, the Duke of the Unexpected RBI Clutch Hit. But also, the King of We Need A Better Hitting Catcher And I Think He Is Hurt

[Frayed Knot]

Thought we'd see Vogelbach here.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's it's immediately 0-2. Let us pray

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh fuck. Like the SHaMs are a dumpster fire

[Frayed Knot]

1/2 game lead

[bmfc1]

What a boring team they have become and when Nido is your last hope you have no hope.

[nymr83]

How is there no pinch hitter for a light hitting catcher there? not loving where the bottom of this roster is right now

And what about McNeil?



This was one of those games where for various reasons I had to see in bits whether with radio out back, TV, phone etc, so saw much/also missed much.



So what I guess I didn't realize here, or didn't hear/occur to me was that McNeil was also an option.



I know--lefty starter. And lefty closer. But, he was also a starting All-Star, and Nido was not. And Nido might be hurt. And regardless, he arguably could have been an option to have PH for anyone who batted that inning, but Nido, with the game on the line.



Is McNeil also hurt? And why was Buck was cagey when asked about the Nido v McNeil decision? Essentially he granted only the obvious-- McNeil was an option. And Nido was an option.

[Ceetar]

McNeil has been Schrödinger's hurt for months.



but you cant' let Nido bat there. Gary was opening questioning if he was even healthy enough to swing the bat (which he did) during AB. So a bad hitter with an injury is who we're giving those AB too.
