To get some length and save the pen but its just not working out. They're out of gas.
That's fine being the plan, and in a perfect scenario is a smart move but he's got to recognize when that plan isn't gonna work and go to plan B sooner than he has been.
Take tonight for instance, did Tanaka throwing a couple of extra pitches to get to 80 really mean all that much? Definitely not a good enough reason to keep Holder from just starting the 5th inning IMO.
Is Boone trying to save guys because Gray is pitching tomorrow? Once again you have a lead, a win is there for the taking and you try and be a bit too cute.
Boone is certainly no Giradi when it comes to knowing how best to use a pitching staff.
Nice to face Smoak and Manny back to back series Â
when people say it's too close. On replay you could see that it was close, but that he was safe. If you on replay can see that he's safe, it shouldn't matter that it's really close. Safe is safe.
I just don't understand what they're looking at. His hand was in there before he was tagged. What the fuck is the point of replay if you're not going to fix a bang-bang call like that?
Like, that's the exact play replay exists for in the first place. To make sure a really close play is called correctly. If they're not going to call it correctly, there's no point in having replay.

Mook I didn't mean they shouldn't overturn it I meant I knew they wouldn't. Over course they should have. Unfortunately thats what they do now
losing to this pitiful team as much as they have is going to cost them the division.
Another reason not to do anything stupid at the deadline, because of their shit play against this garbage team they are going to wind up in 1 game playoff.
All night tonight and yesterday too right before the 3 run hr. Meanwhile Davis was a hoover vacuum down there turning dp's. When we're playing the fucking WC game and then opening the DS in Cleveland remember these O's games.
Whatever. Win the series. The division is going to be a kock down, drag out war with the Sox until the end. The reality’s been that way for a while now.

Not if they don't get pitching and someone competent needs to be playing first
the way it's looking right now, one arm in a trade won't be enough. What happens with Cleveland is going to be a factor in what we do at the deadline. We can't have guys struggling to get to the 5th inning. I just hope we don't fall into a panic situation.
cue prdave in 3, 2, 1..
It's almost identical to the mistake he made yesterday.

Totally agree. He was gassed after the 30 pitch 4th and does a couple of extra pitches to get him to 80 tonight really matter?
Should've went to Holder to start the inning just like he should've yesterday. I was hoping Boone would learn from that but he obviously didn't.
Probably going to need Betances and Chappy tonight.

Cannot lose 2 of 3 to this fucking team.
Rex Grossman.
One of the most infuriating losses of all time.
5th - Holder
6th - Green
7th - Robbie
8th - Betances
9th - Chapman

I'd rather just live with the human element, I can't live with them getting it wrong on replay

3 1/2 back.
