That's all factored, didn't.

And we do have a sense of urgency every day to close games out.

But with nearly 40 games to go, there's still health concerns and injury potential that has to be brought into this.

So that's where the decisions on who is available tonight come in.

Doug Fister going tonight for you.

That's your severe disadvantage. And then tomorrow night you're facing Cory Klober, the second best pitch in the American League. So something that tells me you should have put a little more urgency on that one last night. Yes. To get that one. Yes. Yeah. And, okay, you get Chris Sale, who this team has got to knocked him around too in this series at the end of it. But, I mean, come on.

You've got to look forward a little ahead and know that Fister's pitch tomorrow. You have this game. You come back in it. You had it in control. And you go with Matt Barnes in the eighth inning. It is inexplicable. I'm sorry. You can't make excuses for this. You can't. Joe and Dorchester, your thoughts. Hey, guys. It's just amazing.

Every single week you think John Farrell can't get stupider, and he does. Last night, he had to bring in Bondi in that spot. It gives me a greater appreciation for quote in the Fribble crew a couple years back. Because at least they gave him a little bit. You know what I mean? And then Jackie Bradley, not Jackie Bradley, sorry.

Christian Mask is not bringing young in either at the beginning of the at that

or if Bradley walked and then bringing him in after the back so you have no out to him in faster on second base.

If the timing doesn't make any sense, no sense. It's unbelievable, Joe. It's one thing. There's managers who don't like to pinch run for catchers. Franconi used to do this all the time. He would never pinch run for, you know, whether it's Veritech or Victor, Victor Martinez, or whatever. So he wouldn't pinch run for his catchers because then you're down to one catcher.

And if that catcher gets hurt, you're port.

You've got to bring in someone else to catch. So if that was a philosophy, fine. I mean, I don't agree with that, by the way. But if that's the way you do it, that's the way you do it. So when he kept Vasquez out there, I'm like, okay, he doesn't want to burn the catcher because he's worried about the depth chart.

You know, that sort of thing, like Francona.

But then at 3.0. So when he kept Vasquez out there, I'm like, okay, he doesn't want to burn the catcher because he's worried about the depth chart.

You know, that sort of thing, like Francona. But then at 3-0, he takes him out. Oh, it was unbelievable. The only thing I can, I mean, again, it's inexcusable. That makes absolutely no sense. And I would love to know what was going on inside his brain at that moment because it feels like, what should I do? what should I do?

Now it looks like Cody Allen's starting to get a little bit nervous.

Now I'm going to do it.

And that's the only thing I can think of is he was looking at Alan he was starting to get you know a little bit shaky even at that bad Vasquez seems to own him he almost knocked another one out there so he doesn't he stuck at first and it's a what then a oh two count right or so there are three no count. Three-O-count. So that's when he realizes, oh, boy, he's looking really shaky here.

So now, then a 02 count, right? Or 3-0 count. No, 3-0 count.

So that's when he realizes, oh, boy, he's looking really shaky here. So now I'm going to pinch around. Like, even then. I've never said anyone do that. Even then, what's to say Jackie Brother Jr. doesn't get a hit there? I felt it was unprecedented. Alex and George, you got something for Jimmy Stewart? Go ahead. team the wild card to the angels in extra innings.

I just want to make sure that Jay Stu still
