Does anybody have any confidence of Little not being the bum he is looking right now in big spots?

Why is Little still pitching?

He got out of the last inning from a line out double play and gave up 2 easy singles for runs before that. This is nonsense.

If pitchers are investigated for their pitches, Replay center should be investigated for their calls.

He should have not come out for this inning. Plain and simple. Too complicated for Schneider.

My bigger problem with Schneider today was not getting ejected on a call that was evidently some kind of fix

You’ve gotta completely lose it on the umpire that called that a trap in real time and defend Varsho and your team

With RHBs like Grichuk that can be subbed in with a pitcher that was giving up hit after hit. Not good management to seek out the lefty on lefty when the pitcher you put out there doesn't have it.

Could have also opted for another lefty instead.

You must have not heard the reasoning for the call? It sucks, but it's the right call given that it was called a trap. It's not "evidently a fix" by any means.

They are gonna opt for another lefty here, Lauer will pitch

Problem is when your starter only goes 4 innings, your bullpen has to fill 5 of them

+not enough evidence to overturn" can be used on nearly any call. It was clear he caught the ball from the angle the they showed.

Ill say it again

It was obviously a catch and it’s incredibly suspect that it wasn’t called as such

I know Straw got a single, but I find pinch hitting Straw for Barger to be unfathomable considering how much better and more power Barger has.
