If Arrieta goes 7 strong like he’s being paid to do and Seranthony pitches the 8th it’s probably a different game.

And this is in a game where the starter with a balky elbow could only go 3 innings and gives up 5 runs. But no, that's not the problem. Nor is it the injury depleted bullpen. No, it's the ORDER the scrap heap relievers were used that is the problem. Kapler is behind everything!
Why even pitch to Pillar in that spot?
That's 100% on Kapler.
So you don't turn the lineup over. They still had to get 3 outs in the 9th inning. They'd be facing the 7-8-9 spots in the 9th if they can get Kevin Pillar out. And Kevin Pillar sucks.AROD hit the nail on the head............"careless managing, careless pitching."
pretty sure he didn't say that

That part is on Klentak for not building enough depth.
