lol, m's were on a roll with 3 consecutive hits and 2 runs scored with no outs.
then Rojas makes a truly horrendous baserunning blunder forgetting there were no outs, and ran like there were 2 out on a line drive that Julio (predictably) hit into the SS glove.
I guess Rojas missed the memo on base running when they clearly explain how you’re supposed to freeze on a line drive to an infielder, so you can be certain to get back to the base
Bizarre statistic of the night:
Dylan Moore now has the same number of home runs as all pro superstar Julio Rodriguez (1)
Correction… D-Mo has twice as many home runs as the $400 million man known as Julio Rodriguez hahaha (2-1)
Sooner or later, Julio is going to figure out when you’re always in the top 10 in the league in strikeouts pitchers won’t throw you too many good pitches, when they know you’re gonna wave at everything off the plate and go back to the dugout with a pout on your face and a big K hanging on the scoreboard.
This is what happens when 3 runs for our team is a literal offensive explosion and the pitching staff isn't performing at an otherworldly / historic level.
That kind of pitching = unsustainable
That kind of offense = totally sustainable / the norm
The more things change, blah blah blah. That was a win we let them have. I called it at home as soon as Thornton entered the game. He is a mop up pitcher not a tight sit pitcher. Funny because after I said it at home my brother texted me the same thing. Of course I really don't know who are 7th inning guy should be these days. I did in the winter...

Julio Rodriguez owned up to the base-running gaffe in the 8th inning.“I just didn't pick up (Rojas) on third. … I should have done that and not assume that he was gonna go (home) on that throw.”
Loss was absolutely 100000000% on Servais. Pulled Kirby at just 88 pitches after 6IP caused the loss. Sick and tired of a dumbass manager continuing to cost games.
